During the construction work, a few...things...have turned up... Historic artifacts found at St. Augustine's new pirate museum British-period sword hilt found

Yo Ho Humbug! Merry X-Mas All Ye Scalawags!! May none o' ye receive coal in yer stock'ns this yarr 'n may none dance in th' jig, may th' Admiralty grant everyone a pardon... if naught then; Confusion t' th' colonies 'n Death t' th' Governor!!! ~ Twas the Eve Before X-mas ~ As recalled by Captain Santa Clause, aka Whitebeard Twas th' Eve before X-mas, when all through th' ship Naught a creature was stirring, naught even th' ghost of old crewman Nick.

Newbie here (whatever you call the new recruits). I make leather jackware flasks ("bottels") and other leather goods. I started out ten years ago in the Colonial Era, moved into Medieval and now I'm swimming with Pirates (how did that happen?).

Finals are over, and I'm free of law school until January 3. I'll try to hang around a little bit until HMS George Washington University calls me back aboard. I don't know how I did; one of the nerve-wracking things about law school is that you don't have any tests in most of your classes until the final. I feel pretty confident about Criminal Law and Torts, not so sure about Civil Procedure and Contracts. I did have one mid-term test, in Civil Procedure, which I screwed up royally, but I think (and fervently hope!) that I learned from my errors. I'm celebrating my liberty by reading my first pirate book in ages: Peter Earle's The Pirate Wars, and it's interesting st…

Ahoy all, I have decided to put my writing and nosey-ness to use for something other than news and am going to start writing regular articles relating to the pirate community. I have done a couple of reviews of fests in the past, but then I decided to start writing about the people I have met, and that I see on here, doing little profile articles. First up - Dutchman!

(AP) Maybe pirates took the bronze ship's cannon from the front of a Charleston store. The Post and Courier of Charleston reported Tuesday the owner of Galleons Lost reported someone took the 18th century cannon last week. Owner Rich Mutschler said he put the gun out front about 9 a.m. Friday and it was gone 90 minutes later. Mutschler says he had put the cannon in front of the store for weeks and no one bothered it. Mutschler says the gun could be fired. It is three feet long and weighs about 250 pounds. It's valued at $10,000.

Every year, for the BC Renaissance Festival Ed Appleby (Firstmate Cobbs and http://www.edsrus.com )custom designs our cards. I know we are not the only one as I see plenty of custom cards posted on my Walls (Myspace and Facebook) and sent to me either by email and/or by post. I do love displaying the cards so if it is sent electronically I print it out and it gets put on display. So I got to thinking. There must be a ton of custom cards here, in this group. Pictures of folks modified to have a greeting on them, an already existing cartoon card that has been sent around or unique cartoon cards that get made but never really spread as far as the artist deserves.... S…

Ahoy Maties! I'm hoping you all can help with some advice and suggestions. I've zero experience with piratey things, but agreed to play a pirate for a friend's 6yr old son's birthday party. The idea is to have him find a treasure map in a bottle on the beach. Then the pirate arrives and leads the kids on the hunt for buried treasure. Eventually we dig up a chest filled with candy, crafts and pirate novelty booty for the crew to split. Has anyone here played a pirate entertainer for a children's party before? If so, what suggestions do you have for songs, games, jokes, funny bits, etc.? I've already scoured the web for lame pirate jokes and memorized part of the Dr…

Sorry if this is posted in the wrong section, or if there's already another thread about this somewhere. I'm still trying to get my bearings. So, I'm thinking of purchasing a pair of the Loyalist Arms GAoP shoes, and I wanted to get opinions from folks who have them or who have seen them. I'm curious to know how they fit, how they hold up to abuse, and generally how they look when worn. I've only seen a couple of pictures of people wearing them, and from what I've seen I really like them. From a thread I perused over on the Pirate Brethren forums, I understand that the fitting can be kinda' tricky. Has anyone here had this problem? Also, I'm undecided on whether to…

I found the Pub last year and have spent the last twelve months discovering further internet pirate goodness such as Bilgemunkey, Pirate Magazine, many merchants, etc. And while these are great things one and all I must confess to getting crazier than a starving bilge rat being stuck here in the landlocked Rockies far away from all of these lovely events, festivals, and the like. Any other similarly afflicted scurvy dogs out there or am I truly stuck in this hell of a locker alone? Misery love company and a nice shot of rum after all…
