Just when ye thought it was safe t' go back in the water, a birthday shark's fin breaks the surface o' the water. On any other day he'd be sushi fer a pirate like Herself. But alas she's had one too many Mai Tai's, an this shark is ready t' strike our unsuspectin' pirate lass (below the water line). Now, while our Iron Bess is more than an even match fer any man, or beast, on dry land. No pirate can escape the birthday shark completely unscathed. Just remember luv, even though birthdays bite, yer friends will be there t' see ye survive another one. y.h.s. Jacky Tar

Ahoy! I am Capn Antonio Malasses but my friends call me Tony. The gorgeous wench in the picture to the left is my amazing wife, the Lady Redz. We are currently expecting a new addition to our crew towards the end of this year. And could not be more excited to teach the young las the pillaging ways. I have ALWAYS been a fan of Pirates, as far back as I can remember. Sadly I don't know of any local reenactment groups so I settle for going to costume parties, murder mystery events, Renn Faires, and the Rock Hall Pirate Weekend. Currently me and a few crew mates are building a Pirate Bar in my house as well as working on compressed air based cannons for next week's even…

We all have pirate pals that we've known, missed and maybe even forgotten. Many of us have a friend and fellow pirate that have disappeared from the hobby, the Pub or both. I often wonder what became of my good friend Ciaran, and Mercenary Wench hasn't been on in a long while. I only mention this, because Jim has been gone for a short spell and I wanted to pass along a hello from him and his family. Jim got a new job and life has kept him busy of late. As he states in an email I received today... "I do so miss my family and friends at the Pub and will be joining in on the frivolity and pyratical goings-on again soon." Jim sends a big "Hello" to everyone here. If…

I have a couple questions about this culture of "us"? Do you guys have a love of the sea and want to be free but only use props and clothing to escape life? Do you guys have a love of the sea and want to be free but don't want to choose the real life of a pirate? Do you guys enjoy risk free pirate life that the modern culture has made fer us? -Renni faires and SCA and festivals- Why do you guys do this?

I created a new web page for the Surgeon's Journals. You can check it out here: www.piratesurgeon.com I created new content and added a menu that makes it easier to navigate the Journals. Eventually I'm going to start adding content culled from the period surgical references I have, starting with medical tool drawings and descriptions. Stuff from Woodall, Scultetus and whoever else it occurs to me to add. (For the nonce, I am working on the Surgeon's Journal for the July Lockhouse. It should be completed next week.)

Good day to you all! I attended my first event, the School of the Sailor in Deltaville, this year, and I have been bitten by the bug (among many others that joined us in Deltaville). I had the pleasure of meeting several Pub members there and have decided to join you folks here on the Pub. I am looking forward to learning from and interacting with you all on the site, and I am looking forward to seeing/meeting more of you at the next event I am able to attend.

Awaking from the bottom of the apple barrel.... I grab an apple and me fiddle, at the morning shifts bell. Tis my day for the mast watch. A rest for my hands and time to retune the strings with a gob of cat gut from the galley. As we toe the line, the officers review passes and I grab another apple to stuff in me shirt. The bell chimes to stations and p the mast I go passing the reafers to the nest. The last here left a half full pot of puke, which I quickly stamp straw into to clear the stench. I stretch me eyes to the horizon and call "all's well" to the men below. I strain my neck over the edge and see young william nearby and ask him to send up a fresh bucket w…

Wild mountain Highlander, signing on board. This is a rather interesting chat board! Much different from the others that I frequent! So- my interest on pyracy is minimal. However, I have a nephew who is putting together a pirate outfit. I'm helping him with that, which is how I found this board. I was looking for pictures of sword baldrics. There are some excellent artisans here! I may have to post some pictures of my own work. Anyways, I'm signed on, so I thought I should say... AAARRGGGHH!! THERE'S A FIRE ON ME POOP DECK!! (Bet you've never heard that one before!! )

What cheer mates, I have been trying to dig up some information on two of the pirates who sailed alongside of Tew and Every in the Red Sea trade. Capt. Thomas Wake and Capt. William Want to be precise. These two buggers have evaded my snooping for the last several months, so all I have are names, that they were British, and that they sailed with the other above mentioned pirates and were supposed to be hunted by Capt. Kidd. If anyone has some good information and can site where the information came from I would be most grateful. Fair winds and a following sea, Capt. John Atwood Rhode Island Pirate Players www.ripirateplayers.org

Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence ? Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army; another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War. They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners; men of means, …

I Love this exchange made me roll on the floor with laughter when I read it... Person 1 : What's so dark about Robert's soul? Is it because he calls women "wenches"? Just kidding! :) My wife: arr- pirates have to have cool names. Person 1: Couldn't he be puresoul or starsoul or sunshinesoul or brightsoul? Moonsoul? My wife: no no no a pirate name has to inspire fear and awe. Who's going to surrender their ship to someone named Captain Sunshinesoul?

Hi, I'm new here, and figured I'd better introduce myself (doing things backwards, as I've posted a couple of times already ;-). I go by Mistress Dobyns most of the time, as I'm the wife of a Redcoat Captain in our RevWar unit (we're Loyalists who fought the Spanish at Pensacola). If you were at Fells Point Privateer Day, those were the guys in red marching 'round the town giving you grief *G* While I am not technically proficient in the 21st Century sense (as some of you might have figured out already), I can handle period skills just fine--spinning, dyeing, cooking, sewing, riding, dancing, etc. You probably won't find me in front of the crowd brandishing a sword, …

hi all I know I have been away for a looooooong time to be honest I did not think the Pub was still here, but I am glad I was wrong. You can all thank Admiral Kilo for bringing me back. It was because of his reply to some of my poems that brought me here. Alot has happen to me and as I can see to the pub as well! I LIKE IT! Since it is so early in the morn I will not go into detail of my adventures for now. I am glad to be here and hope you are all well. And glad to see me too.

I am Admiral Kilo, but you may all just call me Kilo if you'd prefer. Originally Captain Kilo, I have enjoyed acting as a pirate for several years. When I decided it was time to do as a captain should and put together an official crew as opposed to just having my crew be whoever I'm hanging out with, I found three ships-worth of followers ready to climb aboard. After a brief discussion concerning numbers and desired jobs on deck, we came to the conclusion that the three ships-worth of crewmen should probably cover the three ships they can and so we became a pirate fleet. Thus why I am now "Admiral" Kilo instead of Captain. Our flagship on the water is the Sea Wolf, but …

Ahoy there, mates. I'm Simon Drake, o' the Sunken Bones Society. We're an organization out here in Denver, Colorado what raises money for maritime causes by hosting the largest landlocked TLAPD party around! Yarr! I've long been into pirates and piracy and, coupled with a deep abiding love of history, of reenactment, and of the sea -- provided the perfect foundation for bein' a pirate as much o' the year as is mundanely possible. Tis a pleasure to finally make the acquaintance of those o' you here .... I've heard many a good tale about this place and just never have found the time to stop by. Now I'm kicking myself for not having done so sooner. Looking forward…
