The Diaries
The captain keeps a log about how clever he is. His first mate keeps a secret journal about how he really isn’t. The lookout, up the mast, saw all of it.
Fiction. Legends, reports and most of the crew are invented. The ship and the shanty are real.
Kept by the captain, in his best quill, for posterity
Captain Calico Jack’s Log
The captain’s own account of life aboard the galleon: how clever he is, how loyal his crew are, and how on earth the prisoners keep getting out.
