The Captain Mood
Hello, Everyone! I thought it may be fun to show you what I do to get myself into the Captain She writing mood. It’s a little trick for me to just sit down and write after a busy day. So, I usually read over the last section I wrote. It helps remind me of where…

Q & A/Book Matter
In eighth grade, I had a school project to write a story. I had liked writing before, but I wanted to take this assignment seriously. I didn’t want the story to be short. I wanted to stick with it. So, I began writing Captain She 1. Believe me, it’s undergone tons of changes but a…

Thanks to Giving is Living
As we head into Thanksgiving, my mind turns to those across the sea. People truly ducking at every sound. People truly struggling to survive. Not only are they trying to make sure bullets don’t pierce them and their loved ones (if they still exist), but these people in Ukraine and in the middle east still…

Touring the Galley of a 1700s ship Part 5
You walk in, your square plate in hand. After such a hard day’s work, wow! you’re ready to woof down some food. In the galley (kitchen) aboard your 1700s ship-of-the-line, you take in a long, deep, serene breath. And smell . . . bread (which is probably infested with maggots), beef (but you can only…

Touring the Captain’s Quarters part 4
Halfway through! On our fourth tour of a 1700s ship-of-the-line, we’ll be exploring the captain’s quarters. Ever seen a movie with a captain on an old ship? Such movies can show us what old captain quarters look like; we’ll touch on this too. But what does a captain do besides give orders? After this post,…

Touring the Gun Decks Part 3
Here we are! In part three of touring a ship-of-the-line (usually 74 guns) in the 1700s, we are going to explore the gun decks. But why is it important to know where cannons were fired? I agree, it’s hard to relate cannons to our everyday life or even our survival kit for that matter.…

Touring Top Decks of a Ship
Welcome aboard to one of our more intense tours on a 1700s ship-of-the-line (64-98 guns). This week, in part two of the tour, we’ll start on the back (aft) of the main deck to the front (head). Here we’ll also meet a boatswain (bosun) and discover some jobs on this part of the ship. Who…
