There's a theory they wore it even with two good eyes so they could have an acclimated eye for night vision. Not sure how legit the theory is but makes sense. Would definitely give an advantage when going down into the dark holds of a ship not having to wait a minute for your eyes to adjust - it could mean life or death. |

Taken from the mythbusters
Pirates wore eyepatches to preserve night vision in one eye.
PLAUSIBLE
This myth works under the assumption that the eye covered with the eyepatch is already accustomed to low light conditions, while the other eye must take time to accustom. The Mythbusters were sent into a dark room with light-accustomed eyes and were told to complete certain objectives. Their movements were hampered by the darkness and it took them five minutes to finish. When they went into a rearranged but equally dark room with an eye that was covered for thirty minutes, the Mythbusters were able to complete the test in a fraction of the time. As a control test, the Mythbusters then went back into the same exact room with light-accustomed eyes and ran into the same difficulty as the first test. The myth was deemed plausible because there is no recorded historical precedent for this myth. |

Very perturbing when there were guys sat around having a tug under their towels, but in their defence I dont think they were actually watching DD at the time.
Shame though cos they missed a cracking antique clock... |

A pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel down his pants. The bar tender looks at him and says, "how come you have a steering wheel in your pants" and the pirate says "arrrgggg 'cause its drivin me nuts".
Ok, sorry, think I'm done.  |
