I'm collecting and sifting materials for our use. This gives us a history to refer to as players to the public and it creates materials for period style publications, as discussed in many threads prior to this one. I've posted some of this before in other threads, but I've been fine tuning it with references to the Pub to create our historical fiction materials and to chronicle our discussions as a crew on the Pub. I did a brief, historical write-up on the Mercury years back as a possible template for her past. It involved the finding of the Mercury under another name after she had been swept ashore in a storm or battle by a previous crew. It also explained her alter…

I was considering a 'Mercury' patch to be produced in November in time for Fort Taylor, but with enough crew members attending at Santa Maria, I could get a run done in time for that event and save everyone shipping be sending the lot to one location. The patch would simply be the Mercury flag, so white embroidery on a black patch. These would run $5.00 each. Is there enough interest to do a run before International Talk Like a Pirate Day?

Ahoy, the Mercury! With the Fort Taylor Pyrate Invasion fast approaching, and with so many events happening year round in Florida (and the Midwest), I thought we should broach the subject of 'ship's stores'. We already have numerous 'stores' in the keeping of individual members of the crew. We also have many goods housed year round by John and Janet in Missouri, but I'm hoping to set up larger stores in key places around the country if we have some crew members willing to store them. These would house such things as canvas (tents, ground cloths, tarps, tent flies, etc.), lanterns, line, cordage, stakes, poles, etc. Most of the 'group buy' items and Mercury objects that…

I was reading over the history of the Mercury and read the last entry... January 29, 1717 'Mercury' is accepted as the name of the sloop by majority and she is launched upon her career of infamy and fortune. (Posted 29 January 2007 - 08:56 AM, "Creating the 1720 Careening Camp") An inventory of the ship's stores and requirements is made by all hands. Line and canvas are assessed. All barrels, bales, Hogsheads, boxes, crates, casks and containers are tallied and stored. (Posted 29 January 2007 - 09:50 AM, "The Mercury, 1720 Careening Camp") This was 2007. Nigh seven years ago the Mercury was launched upon her career of infamy and fortune. So here be question and the s…

With the list of festivals we're planning to attend growing and information about the crew growing right along with it, is there interest in a website? Would we all be willing to chip in a buck or two for a website and hosting? I'm tossing around a few names in my head, but I wanted to see what sort of interest we have before hand. We could host pictures, maps, crew information, etc.

So as I have building a ship in bottle of the Satisfaction and looking into facts of the ship and Henry Morgan I found that Henry Morgans Pirate code was one of the few that were written down and survived through the years. I got to thinking chances are most crews pyrate or not had codes of some sort. So then I wondered does the Mercury Crew have a pyrates code and if not should we make one?

Just wondering how many Mercury Crew members will be attending this year. Is there any interest in putting together some meals for the crew like we did last year? Steve will be our cook again and I'm sure he'll be up first thingn in the morning making breakfast and bacon for all. Do we want to plan any other meals together? We are already planning to do a small pig on the spit, hopefully on the day all the kids are there, I promised Lily there'll be no goat this time...

We have enough members of the Mercury crew planning on attendance that we should have a conversation about our crew presence there. For example, who is bringing what...?
