Pirates Cove Candle Lantern

A simple style of lantern that would most likely have been used when sailors went ashore and set up a camp at night.

 

Most N. American pirates and privateers lived in camps or small protected settlements along the Carolina and Florida cost in the early 1700's.  Their towns and camps would certainly have used lamps similar to this.

 

Our Pirates Cove Candle Lantern is made of rugged iron and clear coated to prevent rust.  Ships with a modern-day citronella candle to chase mosquitoes away yet provide a very clear and romantic light.

 

A great lantern for every setting on land or at sea.

tem: IR15990 - Approx. 11" inches tall, with the handle down.

Electric Light Kit.

We can also install an electric light kit for you (shown at left) if you do not wish to burn oil in your lamp.   Price: 9.95

 

 

Price: $19.95 - SOLD OUT

 


 

Some history about the rum.

Rum and the sea are inseparable, and no rum is more akin to the sea and the sailor than Pusser's Rum–the Original Navy Rum. For more than 300 years, from the earliest days of wooden ships and iron men, sailors of Great Britain's Royal Navy were issued a daily ration–or "tot"–of rum by the ship's "Purser" (corrupted by the sailors to Pusser's). Prior to 1740, the men's daily tot of Pusser's Rum was a pint a day, which they drank neat, that is without water!  - See: (and maybe even Buy some at:) http://www.pussers.com/

Fifteen men on a dead man's chest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Drink and the devil had done for the rest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of
rum.

"Sea Shanty" from Robert Louis Stevenson's novel Treasure Island (1883)
