IDigMyGarden Forums - AX'S CORNER

Most interesting article popped up on screen this A.M. "Blackbeards Cannon Found", yet to be verified.

Thought it might an Appro Po subject for Halloween.:)

The "Queen Anns Revenge"--Flagship of one, Edward Teach, AKA "Blackbeard"

Teach was a rather large man for the time--over 6 ft tall when the norm was about 5'5".
Black heavy hair and beard.He put Slowmatch in his beard and lit them, fire and smoke, along with red ribbons--Get the Picture Yet?--chuckle.

His favorite punishment for unruly crewmembers --"Be Keelhaul".
A rope was tied about one's waist, and thrown "Fore 'Ta 'Aft"" overboard, the person was dragged along the bottom of the ship---OOOhhh barnacles--and was pulled to the surface -'Aft---only took one time to be Keel Hauled to make one think before being unruly aboard "Ship".

Which bench will they sit on you think?

Did you know Mook is a place south of Nijmegen? A famous battle took place on its heath! Do you think 'our' Mook is named after it?

The third on the right, back to sun--and shining brightly in that little clearing to the left.-

Interesting--re:Mook--looked it up, 1570's.

I recall Nijmegen being somewhat of a fracas during WWII.

Frost here this morning--beautiful foilage.
