Ahoy to all ye wenches scallywags, and nare-do-wells. I be Captain Justin Kase of the Dread Pyrate Ship SeaMonkey at your service. I have sailed the desert sands for many years, as my ship was deposited in a desert valley. Do not ever end up on the wrong side of a cat-clawed Sea Goddess. They be a fickle and spiteful bunch. She was nice enough however to deposit me and my ship in the City of Sin, Nv. Here in this desert kingdom I have gained a new crew, my wife Anya Kase, and my two devious children Aud Kase and Damm Hansom (he used to be called Brief). I attend festivals in SoCal, Arizona, and participate in the meek faire offering of my city in Oct. Most of my …

Just found this forum a few days ago and am very glad I did! Seems like an extremely friendly place with an open and welcoming atmosphere and I look forward to being a member. I'm a historian by training and my main interest is the age of sail from the 16th century to the end of the Napoleonic Wars. In my free-time I love to draw and paint (digitally) and will be posting some of my work in the art forum. Again, glad to be here, and look forward to getting to know everyone!

Greetings to one and all, my name is CJ In theory of few of you know who I am, at least I've met or at least talked with a few of your number. As far as a crewe, I am not formally a member of any pirate crewes and owe my allegiance above all to the vessel I work on. She is the ADVENTURE and is a reproduction of a 1670's trading ketch in Charles Towne SC. But I am not a terribly interesting topic, good to be here finally. yr hnrs hmbl & obdnt srvnt CJ "The health of men is concerned in their clothes" -Sir William Coventry 1663

In the next 2-3 years I'm planning on buying a boat. I'm lobbying hard for a ketch but the Mrs. want a modern Sea Ray type of thing. Honestly anything that gets me out on the water will make me happy. In my retirement, I'm planning on take a voyage down the East Coast, from Virginia to Florida. I'm sure there are places along the way I can stop for a night but I have no idea where to even look. Is there a list, anywhere, of public harbors or marinas where you can just pull in and tie off for a few hours or even a night? And of course, I've heard tell of floating bars and general stores and such that you can just pull up to in your boat. How would I find out about t…

Most everything you seem to see regarding (most being over 80%) weapons or at least what I have noticed are flintlock whether they are english or french the primary difference being doglock. However, considering that most of the new world was colonized by Spain I would think the Spanish Miquelet lock would be a little bit more prevelant. Do you supose it is due to the fact that being a british colony that is what we naturally associate with? I wonder honestly if you were a pirate what percantage of the arms aboard as most of them would of been captured would of truly been flintlocks? Logically I would assume that most of the settlements would be Spanish with most of t…

Ohé de l'équipage! I just found out that I should have presented my self here before posting, how rude of me! But this pub is so huge I didn't have notice this place before. ^^ So here I am, Cuisto Mako, cook of "La Murène" and also member of the pirate musical band "Les Murènes". We are a bunch of French flibustiers, stationed for now in Montreal. Our first CD should come out later this year. We hope eventualy to be able to attend pirates events in the US since there is...none in Quebec...at least for now. Even thougth Les Murenes are very theatrical on stage, I'm personnally very interested in the reenactor version of pyracy. I'm also part of an early music ensemble…

Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May (May 25 in 2009). Formerly known as Decoration Day, it commemorates U.S. men and women who died while in the military service. First enacted to honor Union soldiers of the American Civil War (it is celebrated near the day of reunification after the civil war), it was expanded after World War I to include American casualties of any war or military action. I salute You!
