Brown Bess - Field tests of smoothbore muskets in the late 18th and early 19th centuries reported widely variable expectations of accuracy and speed of fire. Estimations of rate of fire ranged from "one shot every fifteen seconds" (4 shots per minute), to "two to two and a half shots per minute" (one shot every 24 seconds). This was with the standard military loading procedure from prepared paper cartridges containing ball and gun powder in an elongated envelope:

1. Tear cartridge with teeth and prime the pan directly from the cartridge;
2. Stand the musket and pour the bulk of the powder down the barrel;
3. Reverse the cartridge and use the ramrod to seat the ball and paper envelop onto the powder charge

Standard European targets included strips of cloth 50 yards long to represent an opposing line of infantry, with the target height being six feet for infantry and eight feet, three inches for cavalry. Estimations of hit probability at 100 yards ranged from just over 50 to 75 percent, and over 80 percent for the shorter and taller targets. No allowances were made for overly tall targets, gaps in an opposing line or the realities of the battlefield. Modern testers shooting from rigid rests, using optimum loads and fast priming powder, report groups of circa five inches at 50 yards.

Three Orange Trees - An orange tree was carefully placed among a potted patch of soil, so as to help keep nutrition up, and due to the rumor that Citrus prevents Scurvy. Due to the fact that oranges require cross-pollination in order to be sweetened, three were planted aboard.

Tortuga Deprived Dried Figs - Another set of the Tortuga-bound dried fruit of the dock. Figs are rather sweet, actually, though they tend to leave an uncomfortable tang at times.

Tortuga Deprived Dried Kiwi - The final set of the Tortuga-bound dried fruit of the dock. Kiwi, if you have not tasted it, is a type of sour fruit, where in some occasion, you'd get a sweet one. These little suckers go great with the dried figs.

Hardtack - Call hardtack what you will, whether you call it pilot bread (as rations for bush pilots), ship's biscuit, shipbiscuit, sea biscuit, sea bread (as rations for sailors) or pejoratively "dog biscuits", "tooth dullers", "sheet iron" or "molar breakers", hardtack is hardtack. Being made out of flour, water, and bread, hardtack can last for centuries, while tasing "just as good" as it had before. Hardtack is required to be dipped inside of water, or held in the waer for a while, in order to be chewable. If not, your teeth would inevitably break.

Salt Pork - Salt pork or white bacon is a cut of pork from the pork bellies or sides, cured with salt or brine as a preservative and flavoring. Made from the same cut as bacon, salt pork is considerably saltier and is not smoked. It is also rather tough to cut.

Pickled Cuccumber - A pickled cucumber, or a pickle, is a cucumber that has been pickled in a brine, vinegar, or other solutions and left to ferment for a period of time. Much like sauerkraut (also technically a pickle), pickled cucumbers are rich in vitamin C. Even though pickled cucumbers have been put through the pickling process, they are technically a fruit. Pickles also help prevent Scurvy, a type of gum disease.
