A quick plug for Oak & Iron by @firelockgames. Benerson Little (@benersonlittle_author) is the historical consultant for this great game designed by Mike Tuñez, with the support of an outstandingly talented crew. Oak & Iron is a fun, historically accurate 1/600 scale small fleet (or even single combat) action game set in the late 17th and early 18th centuries during the Golden Age of Piracy. Recreate or re-imagine historical sea battles or fictional actions, or create your own with beautifully detailed men-of-war ranging from small sloops to ships of the first rate. Entirely suitable for recreating ship-to-ship actions in Captain Blood. *Life-size piratical accouterments not included.*

"...and if the world is turned upside down, why, honest men have the better chance to cut bread out of it." --Sir Walter Scott, Rob Roy, 1818

"Lo you now, how vainly mortal men do blame the gods! For of us they say comes evil, whereas they even of themselves, through the blindness of their own hearts, have sorrows beyond that which is ordained."

"He was born with a gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad." --Rafael Sabatini, Scaramouche, 1921

"It mattered not from whence it came..."

Although sea biscuit was quite common at sea, it's far more likely that Captain Blood's crew of buccaneers kept cornmeal, rusk (light bread toasted for storage), or even cassava bread in the "bread locker" astern. Even so, many naval and merchant ships relied on ship's biscuit, and here's a recipe, thanks to the good people at the Erie Maritime Museum and the Flagship Niagara. This stuff keeps forever!
