That little girl would not be on a ship in the first place. If you know of Mary Read, and I don’t doubt you do on account of her having a Wikipedia article, then you would know that she didn’t disguise herself as a man simply as a lark. Piracy’s a dangerous job for a lass.
Is this all the crew there is? They wouldn’t be able to steer a boat, let alone crew a whole ship. You need more men than three children who don’t even look thirteen, and that’s the youngest I’ve seen a pirate be.
Why is there a parrot? There shouldn’t be a parrot. I tried to smuggle one onboard while drunk one time and my quartermaster bade me to bring him back because we couldn’t feed the thing. Unless these children can partition some of their share for birdseed that parrot’s going to be in their bellies within two weeks.
And I cannot overstate this enough: we were robbing people of their private property on the high seas. I’ve killed men and rifled through their pockets for change. These children shouldn’t be pirates if they can’t stomach the work.
