Buccaneer

The buccaneers were privateers who attacked enemies of their state, namely Spain, in the Caribbean and on the American coast (the Spanish Main) throughout the 17th century. Initially hunters and then seamen and soldiers, the buccaneers successfully attacked Spanish ports like Portobelo, Panama, and Veracruz, but they only very rarely captured treasure ships at sea.

Bucanero

Los bucaneros eran corsarios que atacaban a los enemigos de su Estado, concretamente España, en el Caribe y en la costa americana (la Tierra Firme del Imperio español) durante todo el siglo XVII. Inicialmente cazadores y luego marineros y soldados, los bucaneros atacaron con éxito puertos españoles como Portobelo, Panamá y Veracruz, pero muy raramente capturaron barcos con tesoros en el mar.

Why? German artist SEAK Claus Winkler whys. why he #painted this? Why he paints? - I can #collect myself, what i have painted, finding calm, control, ease, with in #collecting what i painted, forgetting the outside world. - Everything I paint is connected to a narrative, story i expierenced, I heard. Maybe from a childhood book, a adventure, a movie, a audiobook, a form I saw when being child, with in my youth, or sometime present. Like: #RobinsonCrusoe, German Soldier Storys/ photos from ww2/ ww1/ etc, #Pumuckl, #AugsburgerPuppenkiste, #PickettsCharge, #KlausStörtebekker, #RäuberHotzenplotz, #SirHenryMorgan, #Spqr Roman Crime detectives, #matchboxcars, #aeroplanedesign, #Medievallife, #paintings with in historybooks I bought myself, things I saw with in museums ( @technikmuseen_sinsheimspeyer , @deutschesmuseum @freilichtmuseumkommern , @deutschesmarinemuseum , @brusselsmuseums , @bataviastad ,…) somewhere in the world. - painted cause though i have here in cologne a whole house, which I use as a #studio/ #gallery, I have limited space. Thats why paint my paintings from allsides. - Iam painting so detailed because of many reasons. Here are few. Making it look good. Painting it into a #masterpiece so it although is perceived as being good/ extraordinary although with our a #gatekeeper, #gallerists, “ #expert “, #highsocialproof Person saying so. Because I like nice, good looking views/ things with in sight. Recreating, being closer in some form, with what I saw, and liked in the past. - in my dna from the last 2 generations from my fathers side. My father #technicaldrawings, as well as my great grandfather great #handwriting (both)/ Me having a bad handwriting compensating, doing it in my why with #drawing, painting. - because the letters with in my name do suggest by form and message from the words, to grab round forms. The ‘ C ‘ for example. The ‘ r ‘ . - Iam with myself, able enjoying a audiobook, and or learning something useful, doing what I like to do, being free like a child playing. Only missing my guinea pig, running around, throwing over all my #playmobilfigures, while I build #Lego. #SEAK #ClausWinkler #SEAKClausWinkler (hier: Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiPtUoHojWJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#Repost @michaelaman1992 ・・・ On this day in 1671, the buccaneer Henry Morgan raided the city of Panama! One of the greatest prices that he failed to obtain was the massive gold altar of Iglesia San Jose. A priest had overlaid it with white wash and so it was overlooked by the Buccaneers! The treasure that Morgan and his men had obtained was worth perhaps 140,000 to 400,000 pesos! #CaptainHenryMorgan #HenryMorgan #SirHenryMorgan #PirateHistory #Panama #HistoryOfPirates #RaidOnPanama #OnThisDay https://www.instagram.com/p/CKjl2oxDE6F/?igshid=tdp1lyqfxhf0

Hey now – #NationalRumDay is a holiday we can get behind, and we’re gonna start with this dusty, crusty bottle of dark Jamaican rum, which, according to the label, was Sir Henry Morgan’s private reserve. If you know anything at all about the Welsh privateer, you know that he was foremost a pirate of the Spanish Main and West Indies. Morgan led raids on Porto Bello, Cartegena de Indias, Maracaibo and Gibraltar, and was at one time the self-proclaimed Governor of Jamaica. Morgan's grave was in the Palisadoes cemetery in Kingston Harbor, which sank beneath the sea after an earthquake in 1692. Pretty much a badass, he was played by Steve Reeves in a 1960 Italian film, and hijacked as the cartoonish mascot for a popular – albeit 70-proof – Puerto Rican rum. The stuff in this bottle is 100% Jamaican and a bawdy 100 proof and will be disappearing shortly after this post. #JamaicaMeCrazy #jamaicanrum #darkrum #organicchemistry #vintagerum #sirhenrymorgan #morganthepirate #apirateslifeforme #yohohoandabottleofrum #guystuff #yeswearegonnamakeBayRumsoap (at B&C Mfg Workshop)
