Did You Know: R. Matey and I. Matey (not related) are pirates from Penzance, England. The sea was always in their blood. But Reginald (whose real name is Reginald C. Davenport) was from a very wealthy family from Liverpool, England. Sadly, his father lost everything on his invention of building a ship made of sponges (it soaked up all their money). When Reginald was left penniless, he, too, joined a pirate crew.
Fun Fact: Even though they weren’t related to each other, the longer they spend at sea together, the more they look alike. They also have regular chili cook-off contests to see who can make the best pot of chili. I. Matey usually wins.
