  • Abstract Corsairs in Drain Pipes an Examination of the Submariner Folk
    Abstract Corsairs in Drain Pipes An Examination of the Submariner Folk Group in The United States Navy During the Second World War By Zachary T. Mason October, 2014 Director: David Stewart Department of History During the Second World War, United States submariners were isolated from the rest of the Navy. Submariners faced a higher level and different type of danger than the rest of the Navy. They developed their own way of speaking, a unique worldview, and their own traditions. Although it is widely recognized, especially among contemporary sources, that submariners shared a unique bond, nothing has been published that examines submariners as a cultural group. This project will examine submariners as a distinct sub- culture within maritime culture. In doing so, the author hopes to identify and examine the reasons for its formation. This project will focus on the United States Navy during World War Two. This project utilizes firsthand accounts of submariners and an examination of actual submarines, submarine memorials, and submariner material culture to identify, explain, and define submariner culture.

    202118f Globetrotters’ Guide to Miscellanea (Web Update) Author: Paul “Wiggy” Wade-Williams This freebie contains material supplementary to the Globetrotters’ Guide to Miscel- Graphic Design: Robin Elliott lanea. You don’t need the aforementioned supplement to make use of this new material, Special Thanks: Robert Davis but at over 80 pages, it adds a lot of extra material to the setting. • New Leagues • Two of these Leagues are considered to be scandalous by the greater globetrotting community, not to mention Victorian society at large. These clubs are not figments of the author’s imagination—they are based on real clubs, though some of their true activities have been omitted for Leagues of Adventure and some of their supposed activities consid- ered fact. The Beggar’s Benison Founded in 1732, the Most Ancient and Most Puissant Order of the Beggar’s Benison and Merryland, Anstruther, to give its full name, existed until 1836. Laird Davis Roberts, a notorious libertine, reformed it under the short name in 1875. The club celebrates male sexuality, with members regularly engaging in drinking and dining, rounds of obscene songs and toasts, and viewing pornography.* League members regularly travel the globe in search of ancient images of the naked female form—primitive Venus figures, the murals and mosaics of Pompeii, and original copies of the Kama Sutra are all to be enjoyed, and preferably collected. Starting Skills: There is no such thing as a typical member. While Skills such as Anthro- pology and Art are useful for those who collect historical pornography for the League, you may pick any two Skills of your choice.
