Now... always pondered about what a colonial town or city would be like with all of you! All of us living so close together (God and heaven help us all) in a colonial like town but with certain amenities (Those things we cannot simply live without and are necessary). So... If we had a colonial style town - say like Williamsburg, but a port town like Charleston - what would your business/career/trade be? What would your home look like? Would you be in town or outside of town? Just have fun with this, mates! Me? Well, my home would look much like the Kershaw-Cornwallis house (I've been in this house a few times, LOVE it)... My trade? Perhaps be one of the seamst…

I'm thinking about organizing a small pirate festival for the night of Sept. 18 and all day/night of the 19th. There are a lot of pirate enthusiasts around here and there are a lot of people who just like dressing up and having a good time. I'm looking for a few pointers, perhaps a few suggestions too. This is my current plan. Sept 18th - Evening Alcohol Bash - My dad is good friends with the owner of the local brewery, so I might be able to talk Silver Gulch into hosting a beer tasting shindig for pirates. If not that, then I might be able to get the local alcohol wholesale company to host one of their tastings, perhaps a Rum Tasting. The whole idea behind this is bee…

Ahoy mates, I think it's about time that Charleston, South Carolina had its own pirate festival. That's why I'm going to try and organize one. My plan would be to theme the festival around Blackbeard's blockade of Charles Town in 1718. I hope to be able to find a tall ship that would stand in as the Queen Anne's Revenge. There would be a pub crawl, a pirate camping area, and many other activities for both re-enacting pirates and families alike. I would love to be able to get a musical act, like Cap'n Bogg and Salty or the like. Charleston is rich in history and would be a great place to have such a festival. So, I really just want to know what my mates think of th…

Hello! I'm new to the forum. I'm a pirate enthusiast, history buff, a writer, an artist, and I do a lot of cooking. I can sew, thus I make my own costumes and I try to infuse a little pirate flair into my everyday wardrobe. I used to fence in high school and I practice every now and then. I'm trying to find a group of people who are interested (seriously interested) in founding a pirate-theme town...somewhere. Pirates all year round. It would be awesome.

After World War Two, with hundreds of thousands of new graves to tend, the tradition evolved that “Decoration Day,” would be a day of national commemoration "Memorial Day" A National moment of Remembrance requests silence for one minute, exactly at 3.00 pm (local time) when 'Taps' is played and reflect on the glory of those who have died for our country "For those directly affected..war seldom pays for it's losses" Please remember to observe this solemn moment. I will remember my father who was one of the lucky to come home, and all those who have served and fallen, served and retired and still do. My dad John served as Seargeant in the 272nd Anti tank division in WWI…

Being not English or Native English speaking, I frequently encounter the problem of not knowing a word in my own language (Dutch) while I do use the english word for years all the time, using all kinds of English based forums such as this one, my brain starts making cris cross connections between visual data and all kinds of tongues... For example the word "cup hilt" The Dutch translation google gifs, does not work if I use it as a search word again in google... Such specialised words would be hard to find in my own Printed dictionary. To make things wurse I do look for things considering Spanish speaking parts of the world. Knowing some Spanish I do get familiar with som…

A few days ago, I ordered a pair of wool felt hat blanks from Jas. Townsend and Son...they arrived today (bloody fast!) while I was grilling.One I plan on tacking up for a new tricorne, the other will be used as a round hat, shaped more for the 17th century. Planning on rubbing them a bit with a sanding block, to hopefully give them an aged and abused look, and I'll be getting some Sno Seal or similar to waterproof them. Me current hat is straw, which is good enough for warm weather, but not at all good for winter. And its got so many holes it lets the water in when it rains.

Ahoy! I'm Pearly Hawkins Hooke. I'm new to this forum and would like to introduce myself. I'm the Captain of the Tiffing Hysteria, which is a purely fictional ship, but is crewed by actual real people. We call ourselves The Curvy Dogs because so far, we're all of the female persuasion. (Except for the Rear Admiral, but that's another story).

Some of you have been asking about chat and its many uses, and many of you have probably tried the Pub Chat with mixed results, so I've been asked to elaborate on some of the problems that we're having and that have been experienced by several users. First - The status of ACTIVE USERS is poor at best. The ACTIVE USERS information on the main page and on the CHAT page itself seldom shows who is actually in the room. I have been in chat when it showed only one active user when as many as ten were chatting back and forth, so you can simply ignore that information. It is seldom accurate. Second - The Chat window will occasionally lock up or crash your browser when five …

Mission hasn't been on the board since April 19th. Where'd he go? Bad enough we're losing Cap'n Bo, but losing our ship's chirurgeon would be a disaster. Somebody please tell me he's just gone on vacation somewhere or something.

Well the economic crisis has even hit us low-life hillbillies. Blondie has just recieved notice that due to funding cuts they will be cutting her hours, and the future of the preschool for next year is uncertain at this point. That sunk our budget all to hell and we are now oficially taking in less than we have going out, cuts have to be made, so phone and internet get the axe first. It's been fun here but i have decided that once i get rid of this electronic nightmare, get unplugged from the Matrix, I ain't coming back. I kinda miss life before I got hooked up on this thing anyway. My finishing school just got thrown into the maybe category as well, so looks like the…

I might be taking a cruise to Nassau and Freeport in October, and I just picked up a couple of guide books. But they;re all pretty pedestrian, with fairly common information. What we need, really *need*, is...A Pirate's Guide to Nassau (or the Bahamas), containing not only the usual information that would make anyone's visit to the islands more enjoyable, but would also contain the sort of tidbits that would gladden any pirate. For example, does "Blackbeard's Tower" have any connection at all with Neddy Teach and the Sweet Trade, where was Execution Point (in case anyone wants to place flowers there...or better, a bottle of rum), and where you can get some good rum and…
