woodes rogers sucks obviously we all hate woodes rogers however his little bit about how ship insurance worked was really good, glad that line was in there—he's sending off a letter to his insurer with his account of the loss of a ship, asserting that his crew was not at fault in losing it & thus the loss is insurable, and he says that his insurer will write to the pirate charles vane for his account of events, then the whole claim will sit for years in the courts without a payout; it's almost enough, he says, to make one join the pirates. i like this because it tags a financial value onto narrative (we need charles' account! sits nicely next to his line to eleanor about how he got the scar on his face, where he says that if his brother hadn't died in that incident his book wouldn't have sold as well & his career would have suffered). i also like that line because it admits more or less directly what we already know, which is that the pirates of black sails have a lot of sympathetic reasons for operating as they do, along with the less sympathetic reasons; rogers can afford to wait through the process in the expectation that eventually it will be made right, because the law is ultimately on his side
