Talk:Charles Vane

Untitled
The articles says: "Vane's final blow came after his ship was wrecked in a storm in February 1719 and he and one other survivor were washed up on a humanless island in the Bay of Honduras". This makes me rather curious who the other survivor was. Also, wouldn't 'uninhabited' be a more appropriate word than 'humanless'? Junuxx 13:29, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

The only reason humanless is in the article is that, it was written in the article from the "Pirate" book. Feel free to change it if you want, uninhabited sounds better. Rutke421 12:57, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

I like humanless it sounds how they spoke back in those times. Earthgodess53 (talk) 21:47, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

I'm also curious about who the second surviving person was with Vane. Earthgodess53 (talk) 21:49, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

"In February, Vane sailed from Barnacko, in order for a Cruize; but some Days after he was out, a violent Turnado overtook him, which separated him from his Consort, and after two Days Distress, threw his Sloop upon a small uninhabited Island, near the Bay of Honduras, where she was staved to Pieces, and most of her Men drowned: Vane himself was saved, but reduced to great Streights, for want of Necessaries, having no Opportunity to get any Thing from the Wreck."

Popular Culture Section
These are generally frowned upon for historical figures and I'm not sure it helps the article. Also, is popular culture a byword for TV/video games, because what about Vane's prominent featuring in Woodard's Pirate Republic? I'm leaning toward scrapping the section. I don't want to dump on anyone's hard work, what do you all think? The Cap&#39;n (talk) 07:42, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
