"The Carpenter"
Large pirate vessels, such as the Whydah, usually had more than one carpenter
aboard owing to the importance of such skills. Carpenters were responsible
for maintaining the integrity of the ship’s hull as well as making
any needed repairs to masts or spars.
Thomas Davis and Thomas South were two
carpenters among Bellamy’s crew at the time of the wreck.
To that end, this section of the online museum features artifacts related
to carpentry and to the ship’s hull and its components.
