Hello Everyone! I'm completely new to the site and somewhat to the world of pyracy. It's something that has always interested me and the fact that I am planning on marrying a pyrate in the near future; I thought I'd better get my act together. He said this was the place to go to get tips and to get an idea on where to start. But to be honest, my pyrate is a bit of a history buff; so to ask him for help, other then the address to this site, is a bit intimidating. I feel a bit lost and overwhelmed on where to begin ; so if anyone is up to help school a complete newbie on where to start I'd appreciate it. Thanks a bunch! L

Hey pirates, 55 year old male and just recently stumbled onto the exciting world of nut cases who "do pirates." To think I have been unaware that there really WAS a place for me all these years! And to have come to it so late in life! I'm originally from Maine but have been marooned in Montreal, Quebec for 7 years. Not only are there no pirates in Montreal, they dont even speak English!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anwyay, I am in the process of spending a small fortune putting together a pirate look that befits a giant like myself: 6'3", 270 lbs, 52" chest, 40" waist, size EIGHT hat .... (Try and find a size eight hat!!! But! I do have Capt. Jack custom making me one now... Goo…

A pirate and his parrot, were adrift in a lifeboat following a dramatic escape from a valiant battle. While rummaging through the boat's provisions, the pirate stumbled across an old lamp. Secretly hoping that a Genie would appear, he rubbed the lamp vigorously. To the amazement of the castaways, a Genie came forth. This particular Genie, however, stated that he could only deliver one wish, not the standard three. Without giving any thought to the matter the pirate blurted out, "Make the entire ocean into rum!" The Genie clapped his hands with a deafening crash, and immediately the entire sea turned into the finest rum ever sampled by mortals. Simultaneously, the Ge…

Greetings and salutations. Been a long time member, but kept meself below decks. Some minor postings and commentaries, but no pics or formal how de dos. In an effort to remedy that delequincy, I present the following. I am Sebastian Arms, Quartermaster of the Dread Ship DB and I am at your service. I have meet a few of you at various events and talked with a few of you on this forum. I do hope to make a voyage to that fine gathering down in the Florida region this fall-if not this year-then maybe next. Cheers Sebastian

The whole SIMPLE idea of scrounging up a few scruffy pirates to board the M.S. Kenora (out of Kenora, Ontario) next summer and relieve her wealthy patrons of some of the excess gold seems to be growing into something much bigger than I had figured! The ship's captain has been bought (he likes the idea) and the owners will look the other way (seem keen on it), and now the City of Kenora might be interested in having pirates ashore to, particularly during their Harbour Days (August long weekend). The need for "a few scruffy pirates" is quickly turning into AS MANY AS I CAN GET! I NEED PIRATES! Where in blazes do I find pirates???? The two nearest cities are Kenora (16,50…

Shush, not so loud! Ye never know what ears may be lurkin' I am formerly out of the Great Lakes and now captain a ship on Lake of the Woods - I'll not say where I lurk but it's in the northwest . I often see a passenger-laden ship of some size, the kind that carries gentry with gold in their purse. I know where she calls port, I know where she sails and I know when. Being of an enterprising bent, she's awful tempting but there's only one of me. There's them aboard what can be bought to not put up too much of a fight but I'm still out-numbered a hundred to one, which is might stiff, even fer me. I offer fair share to any seaman and any other captains and crew what would…

I forgot the whole introduction thing..... I am Wes Olson, 40 years. Spent the last 25 years or so doing anything from WWII, Ancient Rome, Colonial, Rev War, and French and Indian. Always liked pirates, grew up with Disney on TV Sunday nights so we got to see Treasure Island a bit. Always been a history geek too. Married (she thinks I'm nuts) 2 daughters, love hunting, shooting, 4 wheeler, history, making weird things that people quit using hundreds of years ago. Been with the City of St. Peters, MO for the last 8 1/2 years, slowly closing in on 10 years in uniform (Police, with Ranger Division) and still love it. Got burned out on all the snobby folks in some of the …

The amount of questions I have for all of ye rivals the amount of rules in "The Code". That being said the best place to start is at the beginning. Who are ye? And What do you do? I've been looking over the forums for a few days and have learned quite a bit however I'd like to just come out and ask. Are ye, the members of this forum, mostly re-enactors? If you are, how did you get into it? How did you come up with your pirate name? I see there are a few artisans here. Do you sell your goods online or at shows? I've noticed that this forum seems spread out across the US. How does one find a crew or even start their own? Are you focused on being historically ac…

I'm new on this forum, though a few of you may know me from Piratesinfo.com. I'm in the research stage of writing cheesy pirate stories (and boy, do I need to work on my research). I've lurked for a few years and this looked like a good place to learn things, so I figured I should probably join so I could ask questions. The more sources, the better! (That, and I might need to ask less family-friendly questions than Piratesinfo.com allows.)
