A Note on Our Curated Hoard: This list contains affiliate links. If you follow a path to a treasure and make a purchase, we may receive a small token of thanks, at no extra cost to you. We only recommend items fit for a rebellious soul with a love for hidden histories. ​Come close and let us tell you a story whispered on the salt-sprayed winds of history. This list is inspired by the legend of Major Drake, our tribute to one of the strangest characters from the Golden Age of Piracy: the real-life "Gentleman Pirate," Stede Bonnet. ​Imagine a man of wealth and education, a respected Major with a fine sugar plantation in Barbados, who one day decides to throw it all away. Instead of stealing a ship, he bought one. Instead of forcing a crew into service, he hired them and paid wages. He was, by all accounts, a dreadful pirate, but a pirate nonetheless. His adventure took a dark turn when he was betrayed by his infamous comrade, Blackbeard, who left him with nothing but a ruined ship and a profound lesson in trust. ​It was in that moment of bitter loss that Major Drake's famous motto was born—a defiant declaration of independence: "This Duck Doesn't Give a Ship!" ​This hoard is a collection of the comforts, tools, and tales the Major himself might have gathered to furnish his cabin and his mind. It’s for anyone with a rebellious streak, a love for hidden histories, and an appreciation for the fact that the most compelling tales are often the most unlikely.
