I was speaking with a friend years ago about the pirate hobby when he said, "Do you know why I hate pirate re-enactors and hobbyists? They all come from some imaginary country that utilizes a Cockney-Welsh-Lancashire-Northumberland dialect. Then, if this isn't enough, they add a little Jamaican-Australian-Voodoo-Nyaaahwleens (New Orleans) twist just to sound more piratey. Are there no true New Englanders? Are there no pirates from Spain?" He's not wrong. It does happen more often then not. People equate a bad hodge-podge of British Isle accents with piracy, often to the point of channeling Peter Ustinov from Blackbeard's Ghost. What troubles me even more than this…

I'm what you might call a pirate historian, I've been interested in Pirate history for some time now, I live in North Carolina, { home to Black Beard ) and we have lots of Pirate history along our coast, I saw your forum here and thought I would come aboard. I was thinking the other day, I bet the pirate's of the Golden Age never knew they would be so famous with people 300 plus years later, I recken their spirit still lives on in people like you.

I've been researching the subject and it seems the only thing I keep coming across is the boob/rib/organ abuse one underwent back in the day via tight corsets. I did stumble upon this nugget: "16th century in the New Kingdom of ancient Egypt a type of earring called an earplug became fashionable and these fitted snugly into a wide stretched hole in the earlobe" But I am unable to find out if this was also done else where and for how long. Really the question is, what "work" if any did they have? I ask because I have a few things done, obviously my tattoos are not period correct and will be covered any how during PiP, I also plan on losing one piercing all togeth…

I know there are a few of you out there who have worked with our Capt. in the past. Chris Suttle, who has been portraying Blackbeard in eastern NC for over 8 years now will be undergoing surgery tomorrow. If you know Chris, then you have heard about his accident in 98. He was hit by a drunk driver as a pedestrian and ended up with a hairline fracture in his spine. Not wanting to give up his love for Stage Combat or playing Pirate, against his doctors better judgement he has continued to work as a proffesional pirate and stage combat instructor. Sadly though, the hairline fracture in his spine has cracked and caused three disk to rupture in his back and cause nerve d…

Felt that this needed to be passed along ...not sure if it had already been posted elsewhere !!! "Mates, I would like to ask a great favor of you all. In the early hours of this morning, my son was returning home from a 4th of July party and was shot three times by an unknown assailant. He was hit in the neck, chest and shoulder, and is in severe critical condition in the ICU at the Medical Center in Columbus, GA. It seems the bullet that hit his throat punctured his carotid artery as well as another artery which I can't remember the name of, and the one in his chest punctured his right lung. Please, mates, if you could all find it in your hearts, keep my son Brandin …

Truly, I find I am never happier than when in the company of good brethren, and look forward to many stimulating conversations! Pirate music is my speciality- love to sing sea chantys, write parodys of traditional songs ( no song is safe from this piracy!), and help aspiring pirates find their inner pirate.....

Ahoy, mateys! My friends and I are interested in starting our very own guild of pirate storytellers, but we don't know anything about starting a guild! We've been piratin' a few years now, and can't get enough of it. I'd love to share tales of Anne Bonney, Grace O'Malley and other famous female pirates. We'd also like to spin a few fantastical yarns of our own! Any tips on starting a guild to participate in local pirate fairs would be greatly appreciated!!!

Jamestown and Bermuda: Virginia Company Colonies. Bermuda, settled in 1609 as the result of a shipwreck that inspired Shakespeare’s The Tempest, is the focus of a 400th-anniversary exhibition that also explores governmental, religious and trade connections between England’s second permanent colony in the New World and its first – Jamestown, Virginia, founded in 1607. The exhibition illuminates Bermuda’s unique character: strategic location and historic stone forts; extraordinary importance of sports and recreation; and land and seascapes immortalized by internationally renowned artists, leading to Bermuda’s rise in the 20th century as a premier travel destination.
