Captain Python's Research Center

[Captain_Python]

Welcome to Captain Python’s Historical Research Center. This thread is dedicated to research of life from the early 17th Century to the mid 18th Century. A lot of this research will be used on Captain Python’s High Seas Game Idea, Project Name Merchants and Pirates. Here is a link:http://forum.piratesahoy.net/ftopic1490.php
Here are some things that will be and have been researched:
-Ships
-Weapons
-Edged
-Firearms
-Naval Artillery
-Tactics of Warfare on Land
-Tactics of Warfare on the Sea
-Wars In Europe
-Political Struggles of the Time
-The True Golden age of Piracy
-The Clothing of the Sailors
-The Clothing People Wore (other than sailors, this includes Expensive clothing Captain’s might wear)
-The Food of the Sailors
-The Food People Ate (other than sailors, this includes Expensive foods Captain’s might eat)
-Territories in the Caribbean
-Ships Officers and Staff
-Medicine
-Equipment and Tactics used in Combat at Sea
-Money Exchange, and prices for Common items
-Discipline at Sea
-The parts of a Ship
-How to Sail a Ship

These are most of the thing going to be researched, but there might be more as time goes on. How this will work is that I’ll post a particular subject that I need help on for research, and I’ll list the websites I got information from. I mainly need websites, and if you have information from a book, please post a bibliography type referral to it (put down where you got it from with all the information commonly used in a bibliography). There will be a research point soon.
