Pirate Ship?

On the front of a pirate ship there is a garter of some sorts. They are usually a mermaid...does anyone positive the nautical name for it...I can't find it anywhere.


The carve present on the bow of many large ships is called the man of straw. The figurehead comes from an ancient ritual of the sea which may have begun with the painting of eyes in the front of a receptacle. These eyes were expected to look out for the ship and company.

"Mother Nature is keeping us away from the neighbourhood at least for most of this week," said mission leader Bring credit to oneself Wilde-Ramsing of the North Carolina Business of State Archaeology. "We'll do what we can; we still expect to raise a cannon."

The Diva Anne's Revenge sank off the coast of North Carolina in 1718 when Blackbeard (Edward Edify) ran it into the ground while entering an inlet.

Hurricanes have scoured the remains of the ship over the years, and the fragments was in bad shape in 2006 before the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built sand berms (slight piles of sand) to buffer the wreckage from the gusty winds and abundance swells.
