In case any sudden accident should happen to Francis Reed, that what gold, silver, or any other thing whatsoever shall lawfully become or fall to John Beavis.
An example of this is a matelotage agreement between pirates named Francis Reed and John Beavis in 1696, which stated: “Be it known to all men present that Francis Reed and John Beavis entered in censorship together. Matelotage was likely mostly used to ensure that a pirate’s family got his share of prizes in case he died but there is also the chance that some pirates got together out of love.
Matelotage linked two pirates together in a marriage-like fashion to indicate mutual respect and care for each other and to ensure that their prizes would go to a specific person should they die in battle. Captains could facilitate weddings and these partnerships, so they were legal at sea. Pirates sometimes engaged in matelotage (from the French word for ‘sailor’), otherwise known as a same-sex union between two of them. Statistically speaking, there were likely as many homosexual pirates on ships as there are in your current place of work. One could argue that he was trying to avoid children on ships, or he could have been banning all sexual partners.
In the above-mentioned pirate code from Bartholomew Roberts, ‘boys’ were banned alongside women.
