Patchy the Pirate went through a rough couple years after Potty the Parrot overdosed, but I think that his new role as Patchy the Witchfinder General is really helping him adjust. Plus, he revealed that SpongeBob had perverse intercourse with the Devil's artful servants, and delivered him to the magistrates assembled in the court of the shire in which he dwells (Bikini Bottomshire). *That's what I call a Fr*cking Epic Gamer W!*

The list of men lost at see reminds me of an anecdote I read many years ago. It was written by a native Icelander and relates to a fishing vessel lost at sea when he was just a boy. When the news of the loss of the ship arrived, his mother became despondent, wracked with grief. He was confused. The ship was from a small village quite a distance away. His family wasn't close with anyone who was lost. He had never even met any of them and to his knowledge, neither had his mother. So, he asked her why she was so upset. She explained that when the ship was lost, It had probably gone down with every able bodied man from the village aboard. In a single stroke, not only were the men lost, but the very survival of the entire village was brought into question as it would be very difficult for the village to survive such a devastating loss. When the list of the names of the lost was being read, and a group of men sharing the same surname came up, I have to wonder how many of those men were of the same family and, if so, how they were able to deal with such a catastrophe.

well put. and having grown up in New england and the seas being a proud part of our history, this is one of my favorite episodes he has made. the pride and yes, arrogence of the yankee is put on display as well as explaining the reasons many could say it was earned. but im admittedly biased to this mindset..lol and the Glouster Monument is a hallowed site to many in New England, even those that have never left it's shores because if you have roots to the North, you are likely to have had kin on one of those lists of lost souls at sea.. just brings me back to my time up north..

Good New Englanders know that when the unspeakable eldritch horrors in the attic start getting stir crazy you just have to grab a broom or small chair and bang on the ceiling below the attic a couple times and yell out some choice complaints and they’ll calm down.

[@dashiellgillingham4579]

I love this image of a society that's been living the eldritch horror for so long that there's nothing frightening or unusual about it whatsoever. The bus driver happens to be a Deep One in a trench coat, you wave back to the eyes on the not-barnacles that are slowly climbing up from under the dockyard's retaining wall, cast a hook only to accidentally pull up something ancient and malevolent the size of a ship entire, so you slap it with a newspaper until it lets go of the fish, which you certainly don't eat, you cut the softly swirling black opal out of it's brain and trade that with the local cult leader for some money to buy a croissant.

Hardwoods, particularly Oak, were plentiful in New England. This was the resource for ship-building. I have read that rural towns, like Lexington (where I'm from), had open areas ("greens") at road intersections to enable wagons with long logs to turn corners.

[@mangledjargon5728]

Indeed, One of the needs of the British was the timber for ships. Britain had been mostly denuded, and control of the Swedish and Russian timber was always a source of wars. So the US colonies were necessary for the timber just as much as everything else. Please note that the 'greens' you are talking about are not the 'village green' at the center of almost all New England towns.

[@pesco7]

I'm all for the Union, but I read the book "Gray Raiders of the Sea" in 8th or 9th Grade and was fascinated by the Confederate commerce raiders as discussed in this video. An amazing naval era in the awkward transition of sail to steam and wood to iron. Excellent stories of naval strategy, war economics, espionage/diplomacy, and heroics.

And to be fair, the Yankee sailors were the most successful part of the American war effort in 1812. Against the understrength and overstretched Royal navy, they wrested control of the Great Lakes to menace the Canadian border.

[@LesHaskell]

When you started reading the list of men lost at sea I wondered if my family name was on it, so I fast forwarded to find out. I guess there are none on that plaque, but the city of Gloucester has a longer list they keep (and on the Internet). I found 13 Haskells who had been lost at sea between 1738 and 1874 (one had been a privateer in 1778). There are probably even more, because the family moved up the coast and established themselves in Newburyport and on Deer Isle, Maine. I figured we had all been coopers, carpenters, cordwainers, and deacons.

[@trevler]

I was listening for the names of the guys from the Andrea Gail and figured it must have been an old list when I didn't hear them. And then he said all those names were from just one year. Mind Blown.
