Straight out of college I almost became a pirate, apprenticed for 2 summers, so I know quite a bit about this.
Pirates are out on the high seas with only the company of other men for months at a time. Every day could be their last. It is only natural that we would take what love we could find during those long journeys, and if it is from your bunkmate, so be it.
The difference in pirate types could be seen when would take over a ship. Beforehand, the manly pirates like me would say we hope there are plenty of comely women on board as we want to get in their skirts. The pirates like Ironhead would agree-
and sure enough- once on board the Ironhead types would try to find the women's trunks so they could try on the various finery.
