The first Mate

The first mate is probably one of the most important crewmembers on the ship, and a position most pirates want. The first mate is the replacment of the Captain if he were to die, or if he were not in position to lead the crew at the moment. For instance, if ye be the Captain and ye were held in jail, yer first mate is now the Captain of the ship n crew, and he decides if they help ye or not. This happened quite oftenly, and most of the time the Captains end up dead, and the first mate is new Captain.

  1. You must find pirates very interesting! Its got to be hard to write about pirates every week! LOL. Anyways, I'm sure living the life of a pirate would be quite interesting. If i couldnt be the Cap'n i would pick first mate next.
