Marque&Reprisal

Marque & Reprisal commissions small applications, public experiments, and the occasional argument made executable. Each sails under its own name. The Letters of Marque record what each was sent out to do, how it was built, and what it found.

“In an honest Service, there is thin Commons, low Wages, and hard Labour; in this, Plenty and Satiety, Pleasure and Ease, Liberty and Power.”

Bartholomew Roberts, as quoted in A General History of the Pyrates, 1724

Field Notes

Where the winnings are counted.

The log kept alongside the work: what was tried, what was taken, what sank. Written mostly for me, published in case it's useful to you.
