THE KING'S PIRATE 1967

Ritual of a whipping on a ship of the Royal   Navy  of England.

The "Cat to Nine Tails ", tool of classical punishment on the bridge of the ship for the sailors, official and crew's boys.

" the cat to nine tails " and similar to the French " Martinet ", but it is surely more atrocious and this whip leaves permanent scars.

  1. His back looks wrong. Most of the stripes are horizontal but the cat was laid on lengthwise.

    1. you have a good sight to observe the anomaly.
      indeed the marks of the whipping had to be in vertical sense and not horizontal..
      Surely an error of the director of the film.
