I do believe he's Maltese. Does he say **** **** ****** or ******** a lot? If yes, he could be.
Grand job on all of them - especially the coat and shirt of the chap in the middle of the last row - particularly splendid. Cornelis Maarten t'Maas looks like a perfect grouch.

Well if he is Maltese his surname would have to be..... Psaila ( terrible pun I know) Perhaps it was the terrible cry of "Hello Psaila" that caused him to babble and resort to piracy. On the other hand if he is Maltese and he isn't called Psaila at least you've narowed down the possibilities, there's only about another 15 surnames to choose from far as I can tell
