Last week, I received these gifts
from a new friend in steemit.
It is all pirate stuff!
What a better time
to show it but today.
It's #PirateSunday!
The Spanish Milled Dollar
The Spanish Milled Dollar was also known as the Piece of Eight. Early coins were valued by their weight and metal content, not as face value. The Spanish Milled Dollar was often divided into 8 pieces called "reals" or "bits" thus the slang expression "2 bits" to mean a quarter of a dollar.
This document, in antiqued parchment that looks and feels old, lists 14 creeds with pictures, such as "If ye intoduce on board a woman in disguise, ye shall be punished by death."
This document shows pictures and descriptions of the weapons used. The short "Cutlass" sword was most popular because of its good mobility.
