One of the things I've become interested in over the last few years is fountain pens. I haven't followed a typical fountain pen enthusiast path preferring, as usual, to do things my own way. But I never completely abandoned sea related things, so there was no passing up this glorious pen by Ryan Krusac. Moose antler, ebony and mother of pearl. It's so finely crafted that the north star sits above the prow of the ship when the pen is capped. What's new with you? What's old? What is both?

Great to see it’s back, after so many of us wondered off in our real-lives. Interesting to see how much the research has advanced since what was discussed on here. I can say that much of the work on here & members from here helped what came later. Maybe, it’s the foundation of it. Looking at old posts has been interesting. Thanks for putting it back up for the 20th Anniversary!

Ahoy, all pirates everywhere! With a heart both proud of our legacy and heavy at our loss, I must announce that Pyracy.com is closing the doors of the 'Pub' at the start of the new year. The Pub (as it exists now in website form) no longer draws in the pirate hoards it once did, and so we will be moving the Pub to more 'social' seas and we ask that anyone wishing to save photos, stories, discussions and any other thing contained on the website, please do so before the end of the year. Then we will commit the website to the deep.

I've spent the day digging up the garden and baking apple pies. Not terribly piratical, but indicative of the changing seasons and the impending winter. This changing of the seasons also makes this the season of the Pyracy Pub Gift Exchange! I'm looking for a crew, from far locations, willing to come together for a special mission. This crew will be elite, capable to carrying out the most difficult of tasks...putting things in the post. Sign up now! (Apologies to the Mercury crew I did not visit this summer (you might recall some life events for me this time, that continued through the intervening 12 months, some wonderful others on the opposite end of the spectru…

Ahoy, this is my introduction, My name is Evan, but you may call me wascopirate if you like. I have been interested in pyrate living history for about the past 10 years or so, and I just recently joined the Kern County Pyrates and privateers group which I found through the pub. I've been a lurker for a long while now, waiting for my registration to be approved which it finally was earlier this week. I like to make a lot of my own things as I'm well aware many here are, and I look forward to being able to get advice and input from all of you here. If there's anything you want to know abut me just ask as I still have a long way to go and any conversation is an importuni…

What a great name. skullwench. I wonder what a skull wench would look like? Would she have a skull with long tresses? Like the cursed pirates in POTC? (That would be cool. Or, maybe as Stynky has corrected me in other discussions, it would be hot.) Perhaps she's just a wench with a skull motif? The mind boggles.

It's THAT day, so throw some nautical linger in your conversations, and remember, some phrases are older than you think. For example, if you 'save your bacon' today, that's perfectly acceptable.

I located this post over in Beyond Piracy, posted by Capt. Morgan (April 20, 005) and thought that it would be of help to the new people here. It's a short quiz kind of thing. Try it out, for those who are having a hard time trying to think of a name for themselves. My Pirate Name or if you aren't happy with that one, try this one: Pirate Name Generator

Some of you will recognize my name, some of you may not. If you do recognize me, I am back, but I am cleaner, more "grown up" and hopefully a great deal wiser. I would really like the help of an admin, I need a question answered. Please pm me. ~ Thomas Blackthorne
