need a title for a carving

[Dan S]

A while back I thought that I would like to carve a pirate. But thinking that all the really good pirates, Captain Kidd, Blackbeard, etc., were done I went in a new direction. After much searching in historical archives(and much deep thought over cold beer) I discovered that Blackbeard had a less well known and successful nephew whose name has been lost to history. Most people just refered to him as Blackbeard's idiot nephew. He was the captain of the Sea Hag which never became one of the great scourges of the seven seas.
In this carving, our infamous nephew is not so happy with life. He's lost one eye, one hand and a leg. There are sharks circling his wreck of a boat. His parrot has his life jacket on and is thinking of trying life on a new ship.
So having said all that I'm going to enter this carving (once complete) in a contest. So I need a bit of help with the following:
what to name the carving
is this caracature enough to fit into that catagory.

The boat in this carving is about 11" long the pirate stands about 6 1/2". The base, hull and water are carved from one piece of wood. (excepting seats and rudder)

Tahnks,

Dan,
What a great little carving. Love the detail and the action of this carving as well. Idiot he may be, but now thanks to you he will go down in history as the inspiration for a truly great carving. You could call it " Black beards idiot nephew" or even possibly "abandon ship"

Thanks for sharing.

Safe Carving and God Bless,
