Commander Phoebe Willkinson, grey hair, attentive and unmotivated of the Schooner HMS Themis (10 guns)

Royal Navy Sailor Generator

Inspired by @focsle ‘s Whalin Lad Generator (perchance link here), I made a Dubiously 18th/19th Century Royal Navy Sailor generator, inspired by Master and Commander/the Aubreyad, The Terror and other Age of Sail stuff!

Make boat boys (not necessarily male) to have swashbuckling adventures or to cannibalise each other after failed expeditions!

1875. Revue de la mode. Chatelaines, éventails et éventail-pistolet.

I was searching my magazine collection for chatelaine pictures (I’m a bit obsessed with chatelaines and other victorian gadgets for women) and this gem pops up. Here is a blurry close-up:

«5-6. Eventail-pistolet ouvert en cuir de Russie noir ou rouge et filets à feuille d'or, de soie noire ou rouge, suivant la monture. Notre dessin 6 reprèsente l’eventail-pistolet fremé et accroché à la ceinture.

Revue de la mode. 4º Année, nº162. Dimanche, 7 Fevrier 1875.»

A pistol-fan, man. I can’t even think of a worse accessory. I mean, it’s just bad design. Darwin award winner bad design. Victorian edition.

I’m sorry, I’m just laughing out loud here.
