Historical Pirate Clothing
Pirates—those fearless, adventurous outlaws of the high seas—are one of the most iconic figures in history. Their daring exploits, their thirst for treasure, and their rebellious spirit have captured imaginations for centuries. But when it comes to the most common representation of pirates, the focus is often on their flamboyant clothing, swashbuckling swords, and treasure maps. In reality, the true historical pirate clothing was far more practical, functional, and rooted in the necessities of life at sea.

The Journey to Rochester. Content Warning.
After the win at Stamford Bridge, I was confident our militia was strong enough to take on the Duke of Normandy. Yet, here I lay in the wake of the Battle of Hastings, with regret, defeat, and anger in my heart. The battlefield drenched with the blood of 10,000 Anglo-Saxon and Norman men, King Godwinson among them. For a moment, I allow my mind to sink into darkness. Perhaps I should join my countrymen in death; perhaps it’s all my fault; perhaps William really is a conqueror. Soon after, my salvation arrives—a boy dressed in anxiety, clenching a piece of paper. With a soft voice, he asks if I'm Lieutenant Edmond. Reluctantly, I reply, “Yes,” and he hands me the letter.

Why Did the Best Surgeon in History Kill Most of His Patients? Robert Liston, The Story of Surgery's Evolution
Surgery isn’t something many of us look forward to. The very thought of it brings shudders, unless you're the woman who made headlines for spending millions to look like a cat. Yet, for most of us, the notion of going under the knife is something we dread. However, we should be thankful that we live in an era where anesthesia and hygiene are both considered essential practices in medicine. Imagine, for a moment, a time where surgery meant being wide awake, feeling every agonizing cut and incision, as a surgeon hacked through your body with a dirty saw. The terror of such an experience was the unfortunate reality of surgery in Victorian England.
