The Curse of the Black Pearl Minute 21: Blindly Shooting Civilians

Join us for minute 21 of The Curse of the Black Pearl as we laugh and cross our fingers that a trained Royal Marine who is blindly waving and shooting his musket does not hit any civilians or other soldiers. Captain Jack Sparrow makes a daring escape using townspeople for cover while crossing a bridge and seeks refuge in a blacksmith shop, successfully eluding capture for the time being. Additionally, we examine the reality of soldiers shooting and reloading their muskets, learn a little about Gillette, and Heather causes us to look at 18th century literacy rates and the need for businesses to use signs with pictures on this episode of The Pirates of the Caribbean Minute.
