“17th century, Many English privateer captains were hired by the Spanish to fight in the 3rd India with the French. One of them was Captain Gipson. Together with another sailing ship, the ship had been idle for months adrift in front of A Coruña, waiting for orders. The crew hadn't had a burst of steam in eight months. The captain was a drunkard and spent most of his time on land.”
