Matelotage

Matelotage (MATE-LOT-AGE) (French for "seamanship") was a same-sex civil union amongst European sailors, in the 17th and 18th century. In the male-dominated world of piracy, homosexuality was common.

"Matelots" would agree to share their incomes, and inherit their partner's property in the case of their death. In addition, they would pledge to protect and fight alongside each other in battle and otherwise act in the other's interest.

Governor of the colony of Tortuga, Jean Le Vasseur, requested to the French government that female prostitutes be sent to the island, supposedly in order to deter matelotage among the buccaneers.
