Did ships in the early 17th-late 18th Centuries have their names painted on them? Because while the name I have for my pirate ship is perfectly appropriate for a cheesy story, it may be too blatant to paint on the side. Thanks!
Going by memory of real ships of that era, I think they generally put the name on the stern of the ships and not the sides. I could very well be wrong.
Thanks, guys! So the concensus is the name's on the stern. I guess that means it hardly matters how blatant the name is; their victims won't see it til they leave.
