So happy to have so much grey content in a week

That, truly, was an early July 7th, 2028.

I love the looping of the two back and forth.

That was fantastically dry humor. Thank you!

I get the feeling these videos aren't so much about pirating as they are about life in general.

So I have one big question that I'm kinda surprised you didn't address, considering you're presenting 'captain' as a pretty ephemeral title - who owns the means of production on a pirate ship? Is the ship + gear + supplies effectively held in common amongst the crew, like a co-op or something, with the quartermaster and maybe a few senior crew members acting like a board of directors? Or perhaps the ship is provided in a wealthy patron in exchange for a cut of the loot?

Thank you, Captain 😉 Grey. Given the challenges we're *ALL* going through the past few months, heightened especially this week with American free assembly protests being marred by some rioters, we especially need this insightful and light-hearted entertainment. Thank you, Captain...or Quartermaster 😄. Your loyal Patreon Supporter. -Norm,

Usually the Captain's ship was a big reason they were Captain. But sometimes the ship came from elsewhere. Ships beyond the one would be liquidated like the rest of the loot. So yeah, sometimes there were 'investors' that provided ships, guns, etc, who also got shares in some way.

I bet this is answered in the invisible hook, the book he recommends at the end

Salavora

He answers this in the directors commentary. The ship itself had been stolen and is more or less tied to the contract. Which was a new contract for every voyage. If people A - F are on voyage 1 (with A as the captain), it is possible for most of those to leave after that voyage but none can take the ship with them. This way, C, E and G-X can still go on the next voyage and so on

Thanks, was wondering where the commentary was.. I wish I didn't have to be in every discord under the sun to get content, centralizing content publication is most of the value add for places like YouTube and Patreon..

Long time viewer, new supporter. Long overdue. Thanks, Grey!
