Why pirates wore eye patches??
Most wont care and will think this is stupid but I actually didn't know this till a while back.
Some people think its because they might have had a wounded eye, but most say it was for there vision, and being able to see above decks and below them. pirates quite often moved from above deck to below deck, so they went from daylight to near darkness. Well the patch helped the eye to adapt when switching so they can see. So when the pirate went below deck he could switch the patch to the outdoor eye and see in the darkness easily.
thought's ???
