Captain William Lubber is one of the greatest pirates of American history. He wrote the book Pirateology
In days of old, when the first compasses were put on sailing ships, there was no lubber line. It seems that most average people were smart enough to determine where they were going by looking at the compass. Unfortunately, there were a number of people not smart enough to handle this simple feat.
