Daniel Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I don't get cable, but an acquaintance of mine is (if all is going according to plan) recording it for me. I'm really looking forward to watching it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Handed Jill Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Just saw it and taped it as well - posed more questions than answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Jim-sib Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 Fell asleep during the last 1/2( a long day), though I was taping it. It was interesting that the location map showed Beaufort inside the Pamlico Sound...near Bath/Little Washington. Heavens to Betsy...no wonder the QAR ran aground!

Capt. Lazarus Gage Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 That was about the most moronic rehash of information I've seen in a long while. And who in the hell cast that nitwit as Teach?? HE BARELY HAD A BEARD!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeaufortsPyrateWench Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Fell asleep during the last 1/2( a long day), though I was taping it.It was interesting that the location map showed Beaufort inside the Pamlico Sound...near Bath/Little Washington. Heavens to Betsy...no wonder the QAR ran aground! The area where BB sunk the QAR is out in the sound about a 30min ride from Beaufort by boat. Beaufort is on Taylors Creek and what is present day was not there during that time....but to get in and out of the sound was not as it is today. The inlet sholes shut with a good storm. Plus he ran her aground on purpose, not by chance. It was an OK program but would have liked to have seen them address more REAL history. "If you would have fought like men you would not die like dogs!" Anne Bonney Women who behave rarely make history! - unknown "SAFETY MEETING!!!!" Capt. Mason There is no problem that cannot be solved with the use of black powder!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capnwilliam Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 There's a great QAR exhibit at the Maritime Museum in Beaufort. :) Capt. William "The fight's not over while there's a shot in the locker!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Jim-sib Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 I had stopped by the QAR repository/exhibit this July & had just missed the Deep Sea production crew by 30 minutes. David Moore of the museum was envious, and happy, of the of the good visibility that they had. The new Teach's Hole museum/shop is now open, & they still want me to built a QAR for them. Tis in the works, but will be in dry dock for a while since I will be doing 3 ships-n-bottles demos per day at the Pepsi America Sail in Beaufort. Their life-sized Blackbeard figure is impressive. The head was made by a forensic artist in NYC with each hair individually placed. The coat was made in Charleston. They originally had a cutlass made, but it was too heavy for the arm. In fact, it fell out and hit one of the owners in the head. They are now using a lighter actor's cutlass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
