My name is Rose Miller and I will be your Head of Committee (along with our very own CoS, Marta Millar) and your Crisis Director. This committee has been in the works for a long time and has been loving crafted almost exclusively through Pirates of the Caribbean gifs. Personally, I have always desperately wanted to be an 18th century pirate. For many years of my life I wanted to work on a tall ship post-grad but my horrific fear of heights has slightly put a damper on that. So this committee might be the closest I ever get. The committee is designed to be historically accurate and as this is a college level conference, the material offered will be allowed to be of a more mature nature, concentrating on what is historically prevalent. We hope that you have as much fun with the committee as we have had making it! Obviously, if you have any questions please contact me at [email protected]. Have fun! Rose 2 PUNC X: THE PENNSYLVANIA UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE Letter from Chair Dear Delegates, My name is Erfan Shakibaei and I am honored to welcome you to the Caribbean Conclave for PUNC X! I will be the chair of the committee. I am a sophomore at The Pennsylvania State University majoring in Finance and I have been involved in Model UN since my sophomore year of high school. I had the privilege of being a delegate in many committees and I've staffed quite a few. Outside of Model UN, I'm involved with the Penn State Undergraduate Mock Trial team, Smeal Student Council, and the Penn State Investment Association. Outside of extracurricular activities, I enjoy being active and reading. I am very excited for this committee and extremely eager for this weekend. If you have any questions about the committee or want to talk about all things relating finance, please don't hesitate to ask at [email protected] Sincerely, Erfan 3 PUNC X: THE PENNSYLVANIA UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE Committee Structure Basic Idea The committee surrounds the Flying Gang and the Republic of Pirates in the early 1700s. For the purpose of this committee, we believe to have provided enough information in this pamphlet that extra research, while obviously encouraged, will not hinder a delegate’s participation. The purpose of the committee is twofold. The first is to act as normal pirates, accruing wealth and ships. The second, and more important purpose, is to develop their own state with international recognition and to beat back the British, Spanish, and French. Therefore, the second purpose of this committee cannot be ignored. Crisis Boones Each pirate will have a power given to the delegate upon entering the committee room on the first day as well as given information on initial ship positions, wealth, and food as well as other important information. The bartering of goods will also have their own rates placed on the board at all times. However, you are pirates and we are expecting you to act like it, within reason. Basic Background The Caribbean was part of the European colonial playground. It saw action in many wars, as the world powers played each other for trading and territory rights. After the War of Spanish Succession, the Caribbean also becomes home to the third pinnacle of pirates’ heights of power, during the height of the Pirates’ Golden Age. For the purpose of this committee, the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713, does two main important things. The first-- giving Britain the Asentio to trade in Spanish ports to increase their slave economy and the second stopped privateering. The end of privateering meant that there were suddenly many highly skilled sailors who once stole for governments, now with no orders in the rich Caribbean. For most, the switch was obvious and they became pirates. During this period of piracy, the Flying Gang became the most powerful of all, setting up the Republic of Pirates at Nassau. During this period, in 1715, the first real act of the Flying Gang period piracy occurred with the Treasure Fleet. A sunken Spanish treasure galleon was being salvaged off the coast of Florida. The pirates spent the next 3 years pillaging all through the Caribbean and the Eastern Coast of America. Timeline 1692, June 7 – Destruction of Port Royal in an earthquake, destroying the pirate haven 1694 – Establishment of Nassau, New Providence, Bahamas, 1703 – Nassau is abandoned by the British to a joint occupation of the Spanish and French 1704 – Nassau, by this point, is depopulated as the native Lucayans were wiped out from disease and slavery. The Bahamas would be attempted to be settled by the British but due to warfare from the French and the Spanish, they would fail. 1706 – Establishment of the Republic of Pirates at Nassau. 4 PUNC X: THE PENNSYLVANIA UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE 1713-1714 – War of the Spanish Succession which ended in the Treaty of Utrecht. 1715 – Spanish Treasure Fleet, off the coast of Florida. Positions Please note: everyone will be getting more information about their assigned character on day 1, these bios are limited due to the limited information about each pirate before they turned to piracy and well, we didn’t want to give up the story so quickly. Henry Jennings- served as a privateer during the war of Spanish Succession. His career as a privateer was served in Jamaica where he became very wealthy and lived as part of the landowning elite. Unlike others, his draw to piracy is therefore more unclear than others. Like many, however, the switch from privateering to piracy was an easy one; he followed his want for adventure. Samuel Bellamy- also known as Black Sam due to never wearing a powdered wig and wearing his black hair tie in a satin bow. He was, probably, press ganged into the British Navy and served as a ship’s boy during the War of Spanish Succession. After the war, he sailed for the new world. Unlike other pirates, he was drawn to piracy due to anger at the British Navy and is famous for never killing a captive. Benjamin Hornigold- His career as a pirate started in 1713 when he began to loot merchant vessels. His first mate was Edward Teach who eventually became more powerful than Hornigold. Hornigold is also known as being one of the leaders who helped to build and establish the Republic of Pirates. While he might not have had the most plunder but he was one of the most influential pirates and made the community far more diplomatic and democratic than it had been before him. Charles Vane- He started as a privateer in Jamaica. During his time in the privateering army in Jamaica, he probably took part in the Jacobite Rebellion. Like Black Sam, he developed an intense hatred of the British and turned to piracy in order to hurt the navy. He started his piracy career under Henry Jennings and eventually became one of the founding member of the Flying Gang. Jack Rackham- also known as Calico Jack. He started his pirate career as the quartermaster on Vane’s ship. He then took control of Vane’s fleet, allowing Vane to keep a ship and those loyal to him. This occurred due to a difference of opinion between the two men but was one of the more diplomatic mutinies. He is also known for having an affair with Anne Bonny while she served on his ship. Edward Teach- Also known as Blackbeard. Like most pirates during this time, he started as a privateer for England and became a pirate post the war. He joined the Flying Gang through becoming a crew member under Hornigold. Black Caesar- He was originally a war tribal chieftain who was tricked into slavery. During a hurricane aboard a slave ship, he was freed by a friendly sailor and stole one of the 5 PUNC X: THE PENNSYLVANIA UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE ship’s longboats. The crew of the longboat took to piracy, luring people as acting-shipwrecked- sailors. This worked for many years as he developed a stockpile of treasure. Anne Bonny- She sailed to the New World with her family when she was young, eventually becoming disowned when she married a small-time pirate. She and her husband moved to Nassau where she would start an affair with Calico Jack, becoming a fearsome pirate in her own right. She was well known for her hair and vigor in fights. Mary Read- She grew up on ships, dressing as a boy. She joined the British Navy and learned how to fight. Eventually, Mary fell in love and own an inn in the Netherlands. Once her husband died, she dressed as a boy again and headed to the West Indies. There she joined Calico Jack’s ship and served alongside Anne Bonny. She was also a pirate in her own right, known for being fearsome. Steven Stagnetti- Stagnetti plays the part of the Nassau port master. This is the only position who doesn’t have a historical name or relevance. While there would have been some kind of port master, this character, for the purposes of the committee, is completely fictitious historically. However, for this committee the port master, not only having control over who comes in goes out of the main harbor but controls a vast network of prostitutes, food, ale, and spies.

His family was wealthy and he was sent to the best schools in France. After receiving an excellent education, he became an officer in the French Navy. During the war of Spanish succession (1701 – 1714), he got his own ship and he became a privateer, someone whose job is to capture enemy ships and keep a percentage of their goods.

  • Cultural Imaginations of Piracy in Video Games
    FORUM FOR INTER-AMERICAN RESEARCH (FIAR) VOL. 11.2 (SEP. 2018) 30-43 ISSN: 1867-1519 © forum for inter-american research “In a world without gold, we might have been heroes!” Cultural Imaginations of Piracy in Video Games EUGEN PFISTER (HOCHSCHULE DER KÜNSTE BERN) Abstract From its beginning, colonialism had to be legitimized in Western Europe through cultural and political narratives and imagery, for example in early modern travel reports and engravings. Images and tales of the exotic Caribbean, of beautiful but dangerous „natives“, of unbelievable fortunes and adventures inspired numerous generations of young men to leave for the „new worlds“ and those left behind to support the project. An interesting figure in this set of imaginations in North- Western Europe was the “pirate”: poems, plays, novels and illustrations of dashing young rogues, helping their nation to claim their rightful share of the „Seven Seas“ achieved major successes in France, Britain the Netherlands and beyond. These images – regardless of how far they might have been from their historical inspiration – were immensely successful and are still an integral and popular part of our narrative repertoire: from novels to movies to video games. It is important to note that the “story” was – from the 18th century onwards –almost always the same: a young (often aristocratic) man, unfairly convicted for a crime he didn’t commit became an hors-la-loi against his will but still adhered to his own strict code of conduct and honour. By rescuing a city/ colony/princess he redeemed himself and could be reintegrated into society. Here lies the morale of the story: these imaginations functioned also as acts of political communication, teaching “social discipline”.

In this committee, we will be looking at the Golden Age of Piracy, a period of history that has captured the imaginations of writers and filmmakers for decades. People have long been enthralled by the swashbuckling tales of pirates, their fame multiplied by famous books and movies such as Treasure Island, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Peter Pan. But more often than not, these portrayals have been misrepresentations, leading to a multitude of inaccuracies regarding pirates and their lifestyle. This committee seeks to change this. In the late 1710s, nearly all pirates in the Caribbean operated out of the town of Nassau, on the Bahamian island of New Providence. From there, they ravaged shipping lanes and terrorized the Caribbean’s law-abiding citizens, striking fear even into the hearts of the world’s most powerful empires. Eventually, the British had enough, and sent a man to rectify the situation — Woodes Rogers. In just a short while, Rogers was able to oust most of the pirates from Nassau, converting it back into a lawful British colony.

  • Piracy, Illicit Trade, and the Construction of Commercial
    Navigating the Atlantic World: Piracy, Illicit Trade, and the Construction of Commercial Networks, 1650-1791 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University by Jamie LeAnne Goodall, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: Margaret Newell, Advisor John Brooke David Staley Copyright by Jamie LeAnne Goodall 2016 Abstract This dissertation seeks to move pirates and their economic relationships from the social and legal margins of the Atlantic world to the center of it and integrate them into the broader history of early modern colonization and commerce. In doing so, I examine piracy and illicit activities such as smuggling and shipwrecking through a new lens. They act as a form of economic engagement that could not only be used by empires and colonies as tools of competitive international trade, but also as activities that served to fuel the developing Caribbean-Atlantic economy, in many ways allowing the plantation economy of several Caribbean-Atlantic islands to flourish. Ultimately, in places like Jamaica and Barbados, the success of the plantation economy would eventually displace the opportunistic market of piracy and related activities. Plantations rarely eradicated these economies of opportunity, though, as these islands still served as important commercial hubs: ports loaded, unloaded, and repaired ships, taverns attracted a variety of visitors, and shipwrecking became a regulated form of employment. In places like Tortuga and the Bahamas where agricultural production was not as successful, illicit activities managed to maintain a foothold much longer.

Players maneuver their Pirates around the map, from sea area to sea area and into and out of ports, collecting booty and gaining notoriety in a variety of ways. Players win by having their Pirates become the richest and most notorious of them all, ideally retiring them after long and successful careers at sea. Design Note: Blackbeard is more of a simulation than most Pirate games. However, it is not a detailed, complex simulation like many other games in the hobby. On the other hand, things that happen in Pirate movies and other fictional approaches that rarely—if ever—happened in reality are not included in this game. It is difficult, for example, to find an actual instance of one Pirate attacking another at sea, something that happens in Pirate movies all the time. Note to Players of the original Blackbeard: This new game uses many of the details found in the original Blackbeard (The Avalon Hill Game Company, 1989), but the systems and mechanics for playing those ideas Sea Area Port Merchant At-Sea Sea Area Land are quite different.

Not only did the company present more than 200 exiting performances, but we also welcomed Yannick Nézet-Séguin as the Met’s new Jeanette Lerman- Neubauer Music Director. Maestro Nézet-Séguin is only the third conductor to hold the title of Music Director since the company’s founding in 1883. I am also happy to report that the 2018–19 season marked the fifth year running in which the company’s finances were balanced or very nearly so, as we recorded a very small deficit of less than 1% of expenses. The season opened with the premiere of a new staging of Saint-Saëns’s epic Samson et Dalila and also included three other new productions, as well as three exhilarating full cycles of Wagner’s Ring and a full slate of 18 revivals. The Live in HD series of cinema transmissions brought opera to audiences around the world for the 13th season, with ten broadcasts reaching more than two million people. Combined earned revenue for the Met (box office, media, and presentations) totaled $121 million. As in past seasons, total paid attendance for the season in the opera house was 75%. The new productions in the 2018–19 season were the work of three distinguished directors, two having had previous successes at the Met and one making his company debut.
