Okay so we all know how rough this song is… However upon reading it last night, I've a question…(two actually)… 1: One of the verses is…"Fifteen men all stiff and stark; Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! Ten of them had the murder mark! Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!" Okay so what happened to the other five? 2: Also in the Second to last verse there is mention of "where a woman had been"….Sooooo…what happened to her, or her body, (as was indicated by the bloody marks)… Any ideas? |

Yes, it is. Been there, seen it from the sea. A small, barren, rocky island so named from its resemblance to same when viewed from the see. Interestingly, not too far from there an actual treasure chest with gold coins was found in a cave open to the sea just a few decades ago. A Fisherman took refuge there during a storm and made the very rewarding discovery. Norman Island. There is a small resort there, with the obligatory beachside bar and (very Piratically themed) gift shop.
