Ahoy!
Taking a cue from Larry, Tim, etc. and their
Train Glossary, I
decided to pull this together:
The Pirate (aka Age of
Sail) Glossary
I’ve always been confused by the myriad different terms for ships and their
parts. And as I was researching a few of them, I thought putting them
together in one place, grouped as I have them, might serve well as a muse for
those thinking of building in the Pirate theme.
One thing I did not include was a catagory for the spoken word and slang
(e.g. “shiver me timbers”), though one of the source links listed does
provide such.
Anyway, I hope you lubbers can make use of this list in one way or another...
Arrr...

Thanks. Very handy and comprehensive. This should encourage me a little more to
build some sailing vessels.
