Understanding Captain Feathersword

Ahoy: Interjection used to hail a ship or a person or to attract attention.
Hearties: good fellows; comrades; sailors.
Scalawag: a reprobate; a rascal.
Little known fact: Captain Feathersword was originally played by Anthony Wiggle (Anthony Field) and his brother Paul Field, both of whom can be seen in early videos. As a matter of fact, Dorothy the Dinosaur, Wags the Dog, and Henry the Octopus were also all originally performed by Wiggles themselves, including the forgotten - and unreplaced - fifth Wiggle.
