Costume Halloween
Fun Activities at Pirate Costume Halloween Parties
Today’s great love of the pirate costume derived from the notoriety of the pirates. Pirates loved to attack other ships on the high seas. But many had special jobs to carry out on board their own vessels. Listed below are a few of these tasks.
The captain clearly was in control of his unruly crew. The best way for him to keep his authority was to be far more frightening than anyone of lesser rank. He had to be quite different from the rest of the crew, because life at sea was tough enough without an inexperienced captain making it worse. He was chosen as a head of this rogue’s democracy and would have already gained respect for his leadership and navigation abilities. He would also be level-headed under pressure with crew members in the midst of battles at sea.
The navigator studied the sea charts to guide the ship on its adventures. As such, he was probably the smartest person on board.
Deck scrubbers had to clean up all sorts of mess. That included salty sea water, pirate spit and blood from previous battles.
The carpenters task was to repair rotten and broken planks of wood. Without him there was a real danger the ship might have sunk.
The cabin boy constantly rushed about, serving the crew. He would often dream of when he grew to be an adult and becoming just as brutal as them.
Often the ship surgeon had to remove wounded arms and legs. If there is no surgeon present, a carpenter would carry out this grizzly task.
The ship’s cat was no pet either. He would have been just as mean and nasty as any of the pirates, in order to survive on his measly rations.
The on-board cook often worked in very cramped conditions below deck. He would always have been busy and as a result, very grumpy.
Today many of these ships from our past, lie covered in coral at the bottom of the oceans they once terrorized.
