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.)

My Brethren and Sisters of the Coast: I have moved to northern Virginia, and in three days will be starting law school at George Washington University. As far as my participation on this forum goes, this will be the equivalent of sinking into Davy Jones' Locker. It is entirely possible that I will not be able to return here until next summer. I wish you all fair winds and following seas.

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, …
