it's so funny that starting season 2 flint is decommissioned as captain for like half an hour which is long enough for silver to swoop in with the prestige tv equivalent of "hey you're a loser i'm a loser and this is the loser's table therefore i'm sitting with you" and it fucking Works. he had one chance while flint was fallen from grace and he shoot his shot. and thereafter there's Captain Flint dealing with Island Politics amidst his council of other Important Established Captains. and also there's this fucking guy there. lounging in his windowsill. who are you. i'm captain's flint right hand arm.man. i'm his confidant his everything his best friend his silly rabbit his what? his silly rabbit. his silly rabbit? is that what he calls you? no (:
favorite characters aesthetics ↪ james flint (black sails) ‘Everyone is a monster to someone. Since you are so convinced that I am yours. I will be it.’
“i asked chatgpt” well i asked captain flint and he lied to my face by paraphrasing a passage of the odyssey so beautifully that i was satisfied with it as an answer

"So. What now?"
BLACK SAILS | I
TRAVEL TIME IN BLACK SAILS
BLUE : direct route Charles Town - Nassau
RED : route taken by Flint after having been blown east by the winds
On the way back from Charles Town (XVIII.), Flint explains to Silver that they are south of Inagua - having made a stop at Tortuga -, still on their way to Nassau because the "winds blew us east. "
THE WALRUS’S SPEED
the Walrus top speed is 7.5 knots. That speed was reached while chasing the Andromache (V.) by risking the masts’s integrity (argument between FLINT and DE GROOT, the t'gallants should not have been unfolded in that wind). With a proper carrening, that speed could be reached safely (“A clean hull means an extra knot or two in speed” in IV.), but the carreening was not completed (in IV: “A few more days, we’ll have the keel cleared and tarred and she’ll be ready to go back into the water”, but the very next day they were chasing the Andromache, as established by SILVER mentionning Randall’s amputation being the previous day).
the Walrus chasing speed is 6 knots, in favorable winds (the speed reched before risking the masts’s integrity, see above).
the Walrus average cruising speed is 5 knots (my estimate, somewhat arbitrary : I take into account the occasional slow wind and a lighter workload on deck to allow shifts for the men to rest).
Average travel time, at 5 knots :
1 knot = 1 nautical mile / h
5 knots = 5 nautical miles / h = 120 nautical miles / 24h
Nassau - Port Royal : 754 nautical miles 754 / 120 = 6,2 ; 6 days at 5 knots
Nassau - Tortuga : 539 nautical miles 539 / 120 = 4,5 ; 4,5 days at 5 knots
Nassau - Havana : 407 nautical miles 407 / 120 = 3,4 ; 3,4 days at 5 knots
Nassau - St Augustine : 511 nautical miles 511 / 120 = 4,2 ; 4 days at 5 knots
Nassau - Charles Town : 631 nautical miles 631 / 120 = 5,2 ; 5 days at 5 knots
Nassau - Savannah : 623 nautical miles 623 / 120 = 5,2 ; 5 days at 5 knots
Nassau - Boston : 1426 nautical miles 1426 / 120 = 11,8 ; 12 days at 5 knots
*The farther away, the most likely it is to wait days for the wind, or be blown off course (see map above).
Was he tho???
Black Sails wiki is the only place where I find MULDOON listed as a gunner (let alone the ship’s gunner, which is a role like boatswain and master, distinct of the rest of the gun crews).
I have been rewatching the show on repeat for a week now as I outline things. I have never seen that motherfucker anywhere near a gun.
My assumption was that he was the ship’s carpenter : none other seem to hold that role, he is always seen holding an axe, and he literally perishes fixing holes in the hull.
Am I wrong? Did I miss something here?
Ok this one is driving me CRAZY. Because I have taken it for a given and actively used it in stuff, although it has always seemed weird, and I saw this post and was like oh of course, lemme search transcripts real fast I'll find it, they refer to him that way. And they..... Don't. Did I just get it from the wiki?
I think I figured out where the wiki got it. An early version of the script (here) includes this line:
In the pilot it was changed to just say the Welsh, and obviously early script isn't canon (though fun fact if it was, Flint would paint!) Anyway, a mystery!
This is incredible!
Thank you so much ; that would explain it. And it does justify the attribution of the title, especially with this other information :
And indeed, Black Sails wiki does give this information, I just needed to find their "gunner" page :
They also have a picture of Muldoon assisting with the loading of a canon.
So Muldoon is indeed the ship's gunner.
I imagine he would be responsible, like a naval gunnery officer, of the operation and maintenance of the ship's guns and the safe storage of the ship's ammunition inventory. For operation, it would mean attributing members of the gun crews to each gun, and training the rest of the crew to assist, since it apparently takes 5 men to operate a gun (I'm guessing to put it in position, mainly ?).
He probably had to be creative to manage the gun crews to fire all the cannons at once or even in a row, since the Walrus - with its crew of 60 at the best of times - has 26 guns, and I doubt they could attribute even 2 men for each gun (that would make 52 men working the guns, often not long before a boarding).
The pirate ships in the show are truly very understaffed. For comparison, in the british navy, a ship like the Walrus (a 6th rate frigate) would have a crew of 150-240 men.

on the topic of black sails let it be known I think the classic "oh the potc cast wouldn't survive a day in black sails" bit is so funny because like yeah absolutely but like do you reckon the fine homosexuals from black sails would do all that hot in potc like girl there's curses
this isn't even to knock their talents and intelligence btw like I think it'd be extremely reasonable if you were say captain flint and you were a reasonable homosexual a clever cookie and you heard someone say "hey did you hear there's a ship with black sails that's crewed by the damned and captained by a man so evil that hell itself spat him back out did you hear about this" you'd reasonably go "fake+L+ratio" and then you'd go and get your shit absolutely rocked by captain barbossa and the bone people now this is NOT because you're not a reasonable homosexual and a clever cookie this is because bone people should by all means not exist but unfortunately you're from black sails on starz and you've been thrown into disney's pirates of the caribbean. where there's bone people

[image id: The Tumblr anon drive-thru meme edited to be Silver as the customer and Flint as the drive-thru attendant. Silver’s speech bubble contains part of his monologue from Black Sails episode 3.10:
“I appreciate that. And I am genuinely sorry. But you can see how this might be of particular and immediate concern for me. Before today I knew of two people who managed to truly know you, to gain your trust, to be your partner... and they both ended up dead while playing the role. Now you're telling me there's a third member of this class, making it even less credible to characterize Mr. Gates' and Mrs. Barlow's deaths as bad luck. It would seem that those closest to you meet their end not just during the relationship, but because of it. And as I sit here, I'm acutely aware there may be no one closer to you in the world right now than I. My association with you began out of necessity, but I've come to find a great deal of respect for you. Perhaps even friendship. Which is why I find myself unnerved by the thought that when this pattern applies itself to you and I... that I will be the end of you.” /end id]
her word will be the last word for this place.
Black Sails S1 | James Flint
The real reason flint shaved his head is bc he saw silver and muldoon hanging out and came to the conclusion that silver’s attracted to bald men

i'm starting to see what everyone gets out of this dynamic.
[image id: a black and white drawing of Flint and Silver from Black Sails. They're depicted in a cartoon style on a hill overlooking a treasure chest on the beach. Silver is sitting with his eyes closed looking relaxed while Flint, standing, glares at him. A speech bubble above Silver contains a Tumblr text post by user willgrahamscock reading: "oh no dying for me thank you, I just wanted to be on this hill with you" /end id]
