#5....and listen up ya scabs....
ye spoil taken from a captured ship is to be distributed in equal portion.
creed #6
ye who shall be the first to signal the appearance of the vessel that is captured , shall receive one hundred crowns.
creed #6 was a cunning way of always having a crew member in the crows nest as the pyrates liked the extra fortune and prestige resulting from spotting prey.
if a capture resulted in high bounty then often the the crew member who spotted the vessel was given extra share of the loot as well.
I couldn't watch the Pirates of The Caribbean movies as Depp's accent just grated. Someone told me he based it on Mick and Keith's - but they're from Dartford in Kent and I couldn't see it.
