Looks super comfortable, Pauline!
I have to remember this: there was no standard Navy uniform during the Golden Era of piracy. So, who knows what Maynard was wearing when he took Blackbeard, or what Woodes Rogers had on as he reached New Providence.
Timmy!: I know; itchy.
Lou: True story. Hopefully, Governor Rogers was dressed in a fairly formal suit. Maynard, on the other hand, you would hope not.
Glad you like the image and post about the 1748 uniform; I posted a lot of other images of officers' uniforms of the Royal Navy 1748 on my blog somewhat later than that one and you can easily find all of those if you search on Royal Navy on the blog.
Good luck with your blog - lots of interesting things on it. :-)
Cheers,
David
