Day 2: Favourite Dynamic - Jack Rackham vs Woodes Rogers

"If no Anne, if no rescue, if this is defeat for me, know this - You and I were neck and neck in this race until the very end, but Jesus, did I make up a lot of ground to catch you."

#black sails #jack rackham #woodes rogers #blacksailsedit #bsanniversary #my stuff #another thing i really love is character conflict #and theirs is excellent #their conflict sort of encapsulates one of the narratives of the show too #where jack is this outcast from society and woodes is representative of that society #but they're both still more complex than that #i am living in this kinda thing

THIS BITCH WOODES ROGERS REALLY KNOWS HOW TO PLAY THE GAME. Wow. You can't just SAY the words Lord. Thomas. Hamilton. like that they're nothing to James McGraw/Flint! And just look at the phrasing of this - "I understand that you knew him."

ok while i'm black sails posting this is my third rewatch but somehow every time i forget that charles vane killed richard guthrie. like eleanor's talking to woodes rogers all "when you came into my cell i wasn't thinking about avoiding execution, i just wanted to get revenge on the thing that killed my father," or whatever and i'm just sitting there like. oh yeah, i guess that did happen. i do not like richard guthrie very much and apparently the result is that my brain erases him from existence as soon as he's dead. anyway free my man (charles vane). he did all that but i don't care.

If no one knows, everyone wins.

Don't play games with me.

I'm quite serious. Who loses? Absent their worst instincts, their pride, their greed, their suspicion, in the light of pure reason, who says no to this? They'll be rich men in a safe place rather than dead thieves on a long rope.

Committing Black Sails Musical Parallels | XII. XXV. XXXVIII.

I spent a year rewatching Black Sails and tracking all the bits of music that repeated at any point during the show, and my findings are reinforcing that Bear McCreary is a genius and this show should have been called 'parallels that will kill you over and over again'* (tag | chronological)

As portrayed in the show Black Sails (2014-2017) Anne Bonny (AKA Ann Fulford) - One of the few female pirates in recorded history was from Ireland. She would move to Nassau with her husband James Bonny where she would meet John Rackham (Calico Jack) and become his partner in crime and lover. Some reports say she lived until 1782 but that is unlikely. She, Mary Read (AKA Mark Read), and Calico Jack were captured in October 1720. Bonny and Mary Read were spared hanging due to being with child, Read would die in prison of fever while Bonny's death was never recorded. A book written in 1964 (Mistress Of The Seas) said Bonny died in the American colonies in the 1780's but burial records form Spanish Town, Jamaica where Bonny was tried lists Ann Bonny's death as 29 December 1733. Calico Jack (AKA John Rackham) - Rackham come and fell at the end of the Golden Age of Piracy. His is most famous for having two female crew members, Anne Bonny and Mary Read. Rackham would overthrow Pirate Captain Charles Vane for command of the Sloop Ranger. In 1719 Rackham would take a pardon from Governor Woodes Roger and for a short time became and honest man. In December of that year him and his crew would capture the Kingston that had a rich cargo. The Kinston was captured within sight of Port Royal where merchants outfitted bounty hunters to track them down. Bounty hunters would eventually capture Rackham and crew on or about 31 October 1720 and he would be hanged on 18 November 1720. Charles Vane - Vane started his life as a pirate in 1715 while attacking salvage camps recovering the 1715 Spanish treasure fleet that sank off the coast of Florida. By 1717 he was captain of his own ship and one of the leaders of the "Republic of Pirates in Nassau. Vane was captured in 1718 and agreed to stop is pirate was and accept the King's Pardon. Vane was known to be sadistic to the crews of captured ships, often beating and torturing them. In February 1719 Vane would be caught in a storm and marooned on an uncharted island. A passing British ship found him, he was arrested brought to Port Royal and tried and hanged 29 March 1721. Blackbeard-Edward Teach (AKA Edward Thatch) - Blackbeard joined the crew of Pirate Captain Benjamin Hornigold in 1716 Hornigold placed Blackbeard in command of a recently captured sloop, where they conducted many pirate raids. By late 1716 or early 1717 they had captured 2 more sloops to bolster their attacks, one of those ships would be captained by Stede Bonnet. In 1717 Hornigold would retire from piracy to become a pirate hunter taking two of the ships with him. Blackbeard would eventually capture the French Slave ship La Concorde, he renamed her Queen Ann's Revenge. He would crew her with 300 men and add 40 guns to it making it one of the most feared pirate ships ever. After blockading the port of Charles Town, South Carolina and ransoming the ports people Blackbeard ran the Queen Ann aground near Beaufort, North Carolina. He settled in Bath North Carolina, and accepted a Royal Pardon. He would not stay honest for long. Eventually, Alexander Sportswood (HAHAHAHAHAHA!) the Governor of Virginia would put a force of soldiers and sailors together to capture Blackbeard. After an intense fight Blackbeard and several of his crew would be killed in 22 November 1718. Black beard was a solid tactician and did not like the use of violence, he relied more on his fearsome look and reputation to get his victims to comply.

Woodes Rogers - Rogers was a privateer, slave traders and from 1718 -1721 the first Royal Governor of the Bahamas. He is mostly remembered for being captain of the ship that rescued Alexander Selkirk after 4 years and 4 months as a castaway on a South Pacific island. His story is told to have inspired Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe (25 April 1719). 24 July 1718 Rogers trapped Captain Vane and his ships in Nassau Harbor, in an attempt to flee Vane rammed one of his ships into Rogers ship. The attempt failed but Rogers ships were forced out of the harbor where Vane pillaged Nassau and escaped in a smaller ship. With Nassau and New Providence Island population if 200 and a few hundred Spanish escapees in the hands of Rogers he formed government guaranteeing Royal pardons for pirates those would work for him. A month after becoming Governor Blackbeard and Captain Vane wrote letters saying they were teaming up to retake the island and the Spanish planed to force the British off the island. About this time 100 of his original crew died of a disease that left most of the original inhabitants untouched. 2 of his 3 ships left for New York never to return, that last ship would leave a short time later. After extending himself well into debt to bolster the defenses of the Bahamas's and a successfully repelling the Spanish assault Rogers was put in debtors prison for lack of payment. Eventually his debtors took pity on him and he was released. Rogers was approached by a still unknown author writing a book called A General History of the Robberies and Murders of the Most Notorious Pyrates, it become a hit on both sides of the ocean once again putting Rogers in a positive light. In 1726 Rogers petitioned King George I for financial regress, the King not only granted Rogers a pension but mad it retroactive to 1721. King George II would reinstall Rogers as the Royal Governor of the Bahamas for a second time on 22 October 1728. Although there was no longer a pirate threat the struggle of government took a heath toll on him and he died 15 July 1732 in Nassau. Captain Flint, the antihero of Black Sails, and John Silver were not real people. Both of them are fictional characters from the Robert Louis Stevenson book Treasure Island (Magazine 1881, book 1883). They are the only two characters to be in all 38 episodes.

Black Sails Anniversary Week

Day 3: Favourite Character - Woodes Rogers

"You asked what would happen next. My instinct is the same now as it was then. I will show them the consequences of threatening that which I hold most dear. I will leave no doubt about it."

#black sails #woodes rogers #blacksailsedit #bsanniversary #my stuff #listen #he's such a good villain #or antagonist i should say #and i love how he's a mirror to flint #and his conflict with jack #he was one of my favourite parts of s4 tbh #among many many things

[griseldagimpel]

Okay, I'm watching Black Sails episode 4.09 - about halfway through, gonna pause for the night - and Woodes Rogers' mental image/memory of Eleanor as the silent, docile wifey working away at her embroidery is so fucked up and so telling of him as a character.

Because, like, I don't think Eleanor got with him initially out of love. She did it because she was playing the hand she was dealt. If she loved him at all, that came later. But Eleanor's scrappy, and Eleanor's ambitious, and Eleanor will use anyone necessary to get what she wants.

And Woodes is devastated by her death, but did he ever actually know her, if that is how he remembers her?

#black sails #eleanor guthrie #woodes rogers #woodes can pay off his debts with all the energy Eleanor is generating spinning in her grave

[playlistashton]

It bring me so much rage every time I think of how Roger Woodes remember Eleanor after her death

He betray her in the worst way possible with the Spanish invasion and then has the audacity to have her ghost fucking KNITTING

Like are you kidding me!?? This is Eleanor Guthrie the queen of thieves, the girl who threw Teach out of the island at seventeen, a woman who wielded enormous influence in Nassau, who had more power than the pirates captain *Charles Vanes’ voice* ‘‘power that doesn’t care how many votes you can tally who loves you who hates you who fear you power that just is’’

And his memory of her is her knitting in a corner. Yes he loved her but did he knew her even a little?
