Parts of the Revenge
For Fic Writers and Fans of Our Flag Means Death
The historical Stede Bonnet’s Revenge was a sloop-of-war, one of the smaller types of men-of-war, or fighting ships. Unlike merchant ships, they carried multiple guns (i.e., cannons); merchant vessels were usually also armed, but not as heavily.
Basic Nautical Terms
- fore: The front part of the ship.
- aft: Towards the back.
- bow: The frontmost part of the ship’s hull.
- stern: The backmost part of the ship.
- starboard: If you’re facing forward, this is the side of the ship on your right. If you’re facing aft, it will be on your left.
- port: If you’re facing forward, the side on your left. If you’re facing aft, it’s on your right.
- hull: The outer body of the ship. What you scrape barnacles off (assuming you’re not flirty enough to get out of the job).

After watching Ghosts CBS for a while, I’ve noticed something a little unique about Nigel’s left hand.
If you look closely, you can see there’s only 2 fingers on it. And I looked back on some of John L Hartman’s (the actor who plays Nigel) other tv appearances and social media posts and it’s the same thing. After doing some research, I’ve found out that he most likely has Ectrodactyly.
The reason why I’m bringing this up is because I think at some point in the future, the show should bring awareness to this and have Nigel be open about it. It would also be appropriate since in the Halloween episode in season 2, Nigel DOES mention he has webbed feet. (A trait some people with Ectrodactyly actually have so it would fit) It would be an amazing thing to bring up. And show that people who have physical disfigurements can still act and be portrayed as regular characters without them being the punchline.
(DISCLAIMER: I of course don’t work for the show in any way shape or form and don’t personally know John L Hartman or know how comfortable he would be talking about his condition. Do NOT go spamming him or the writers with this idea. I mean no disrespect to John whatsoever or am I trying to force something to happen on the show. He may or may not be comfortable with himself physically to want to bring up a topic like this on a very popular tv series. I just personally think it would be an interesting idea for the show to try to talk about and bring awareness to. That doesn’t mean it has to come true though.)
