In the 18th century many viruses did not have the same names as they do today. Many of them were named after the symptoms or where one might get it. Ship Fever or better known typhus today, was one that sailors feared to get when out to sea as it could mean doom for the entire crew. An infectious disease caused by rickettsiae, characterized by a purple rash, headaches, fever, and usually delirium, and historically a cause of high mortality during wars and famines. There are several forms, transmitted by vectors such as lice, ticks, mites, and rat fleas.

Pirate: I got cabin fever, It’s burning in my brain Mudwell: I got cabin fever, It’s driving me insane Dodo, Pirates, Lew Zealand: We’ve got cabin fever We’re flipping our bandanas Been stuck at sea so long that we have simply gone bananas Spotted Dick, Lew Zealand, Mr. Bitte: We’ve got cabin fever, we’ve lost what sense we had We’ve got cabin fever we’re all going mad! Pirates: My sanity is hanging by a thread,Since we’re going nowhere, I’ve thought out of my head. We were sailing, sailing Over the bounty way Lew Zealand: ...and now we’re not Jaques Roach: Grab yer partners by the ears, Lash ‘em to the wheel. Dosey doe, step on his toe, Listen to him squeal! Allemande left, allemande right, It’s time to sail or sink. Swing yer partner over the
side And drop ‘im in the drink!Female Frackle: We’ve got cabin fever, Calico: No ifs, ands or buts, Female Frackle: We’re disoriented Calico: And demented, Both: And a little nuts! Begoony and Dodo: Ach nor beaver, Volkswagen car Goat: (yodel ae ee hee) Begoony and Dodo: Sauerbraten, wienerschnitzel Dodo: (yodel eh eh hoo) Begoony and Dodo: Unt is vunderbarr.

Whoever wrote this script! Cactus: (Sí!) Angel Marie: I was floating in a tropic moon, And dreaming of a blue lagoon, Now I’m as crazy as a loon. All: Cabin fever has ravaged all aboard, This once fine vessel has become a floating psycho ward. We were sailing, sailing, Heading who knows where! And now though we’re all here, We’re not all there! Cabin fever, aah.

Continental military takes Nassau
On this 3 March 1776, forces of the Continental Navy and Continental Marines of the American Colonies conduct their first ever amphibious landing at New Providence, Bahamas, a part of the greater Battle of Nassau. When the English Colonies of North America revolted against the Crown and declared Revolution, the colonies were severely lacking in a number of fields. From vital supplies like food, uniforms, munitions, and firearms, to aspects like an active navy (all naval vessels in America would have been under the control of the English Royal Navy) the burgeoning Patriot cause was seriously lacking. In particular the Continental Army was in desperate need of gunpowder, and
when General George Washington could not acquire the necessary amount by conventional means he looked to the newly formed Continental Navy and Corps of Marines. It had been discovered that the British controlled Bahamian island of New Providence, where the city of Nassau was situated, had a supply of gunpowder sufficient to meet Washington’s needs. The Continental congress ordered a fleet under command of Commodore Esek Hopkins to sail to New Providence and liberate the gunpowder from Fort Montague, one of two redoubts defending the city of Nassau. On the 3rd of March, 1776, Marines conducted the first ever amphibious landing in United States history under command of Captain Samuel Nicholas,
landing on the shores of what infamous pirates such as Edward “Blackbeard” Teach/ Thatch and James “Calico Jack” Rackham called home some 57 years prior. Focused mainly at capturing Fort Montague, the Marines were met with little resistance, and captured the fort with ease. Prior to the battle, the island’s forces had moved the gunpowder to the city’s main fortification of Fort Nassau. The Marines planned to capture the fort the next day, and when the fort surrendered it was discovered that the gunpowder had once again been spirited away, this time by ship. While the main objective of capturing gunpowder was unsuccessful, the Continental Navy and Marine forces were able to plunder the island of a number of valuable cannon and other ordinance that would nonetheless be helpful to the patriot cause. The Raid of Nassau would also be an important point of both United States Navy and Marine Corps lore, proving their efficiency and ability. The island that was once called home by the “Republic of Pirates” would be the first foreign soil where a Patriot Flag would be raised.

It seems everyone has the idea that pirates wore eye-patches, pierced their ears, and spoke distinctively pirate-y. A little common sense would say that there’s no way EVERY pirate was like that, but where did these stereotypes come from, and is there any truth to any of them? Turns out there is! To start, a lot of what makes the popular vision of a pirate comes from Robert Luis Stevenson’s 1883 novel Treasure Island, the first of many pirate-themed novels. Short films and movies (and movie franchises) continued to portray pirates much as they were described in these Victorian-era adventure novels, and so the pirate remained as he was. And now for the truth behind some of these popular stereotypes, starting with eyepatches: There is the popular theory that pirates would wear eyepatches shortly before attacking another ship. This was to allow one eye to adjust to the darkness, while the other eye remained adjusted to the daylight, so if the attacking pirate went below deck he could still see using the eye covered by
the patch. This technique has been used by military personnel, most notably aircraft pilots, and usually in the context of manning controls at night while passing over brightly lit cities. That being said, there is no historical record describing, let alone recommending, this use for eyepatches from the Golden Age of Piracy. Earrings are another fashion statement every pirate seems to sporting, even today. Though it may seem a bit strange today for men especially to be wearing earrings, for much of history earrings and piercings were worn as talismans to ward off evil or attract good luck. Sailors, and probably even more so pirates, have always been a superstitious lot: for example, a gold earring was believed to protect its wearer from drowning. Gold and silver were also believed to having healing and curing abilities, and earrings made of them were believed cure or prevent diseases. Many sailors at the time wore earrings as well; young sailors were given an earring to celebrate their first
crossing of the equator or if they sailed around Cape Horn, the most southern tip of South America. Whether worn for sentiment or superstition, death at sea was an all too common occurrence for sailors and pirates of the day. Earrings played an important role here, too. An earring made of gold or silver would often cover the cost of burial for a body that had washed ashore, or help cover costs of sending a body back to the victim’s family. Another rumored uses for earrings was to dangle wax from them, to be used as earplugs when firing the cannons. Yet another reason for the piercing could be acupuncture. Many people then and now believe that puncturing the ear in a specific spot, the “eye spot” could help improve vision. Though we can’t prove that this is why pirates pierced their ears, this practice has been used from before pirates ever roamed the seven seas, all the way up to today. Far from being just accessories, these pieces of head adornment were used for many beneficial purposes. Whether used for holistic healing, superstitious beliefs, or just a fad of the times, the use of eyepatches and earrings has been pivotal in modern depictions of pirates. As to the question of if any of it really works, let’s just say the mind can do some amazing things if you believe it.
