Jeesh! Seems like every time I branch out into any threads 'ere at the pub anymore, 'tis a flippin' folly 'o 'lil buccaneers spoutin' all kinda crap, most 'o which has little or nuthin' to do with 'Piracy', fictional or non-fictional. Wot the Bloody Bloomin' 'eck be the drinkin' age in this 'ere joint, anyhoo???...Methinks it may be time to clear this pub outta alla the juveniles, an' chase 'em back to the kid's chatrooms where they belong, as they contribute little to the brethren, nor spend much with the hosts and sponsors **Steps off soapbox, walks back up gangplank, and pours a shot 'o rum with genuine, ADULT pirates****

CaptnSharkys Pub closes for hurricane Jeanne Sept 25 2004! Had to close the pub again, me parrots had to come in and the rum had to come down from the shelves over the bar. Had to put me shutters up again, and batten down the hatches. The ships have left port, or been tied down! The wind be starting to blow, the rain is moving in, and it's only 1:50 PM. To see some pictures I have posted a few here!Sharkys Pub Closes! I'll post more pictures os the storm ifn I can still get on line!

Arrr I be wonderin when attending fairs n festivals do ya carry a working arm or non-firin replica? and if ya aint part of the cast in a fair do they allow ya ta carry a real working arm? I know the Ga. ren fest only allows blades that are peace bound, but I'm not sure their policy on pistols n such.

Bilgemunky.com, in coordination with TalkLikeAPirate.com, is pleased as rum-punch to announce that the winner of the first ever Flying Dutchman Award for Outstanding Pirattitude is The American Pirate Association of Holland, Michigan! This is the first of what we hope will be many awards presented to private citizens that go above and beyond the call of piracy, fostering a sense of mutinous villainy coupled with warm-fuzzy feelings throughout their communites. The proud recipient of the Flying Dutchan will be presented with a hand-crafted pewter medallion featuring the Bilgemunky Jolly Roger, along with a special prize package compiled through the generous donations …

If you've be wondering why I've not been much in evidence on this board lately, I was in a mishap on July 10 that kept me offline for a bit. I thought it might be instructive to pass this on. I was at a meetup with some of the crew of the Juryrig (as nice a group o people as yd ever want to meet, by the way), and had spent a lovely afternoon shooting my doglock, shooting Duncan's giant slingshot, and helping set up his new period tent, eating way too much food, etcetera.. As evening wore on, someone suggested we start the fire, which was set in a metal fire ring. I decided to fire it up in traditional fashion, laying a small amount of powder in the kindling, then usin…

Aye, ye think by the ocean it would be cool, but NOOOOOOO! We suffered through horrible heat and humidity on Friday during set up of our camp, and on Sat. entertainin' the guests. On Sunday we had a wee bit o' relief when the temps went down a couple o' notches. I got to meet Privateer and his fine wife, an' I do think they enjoyed the show PRP puts on, "The Tryal of Anne Bonney and Mary Read". Here's some pictures o' some o' us here at the Pub. Red Maria (btw- the lantern she's standing next to came off the Interceptor of the POTC movie) Black Hearted Pearl Rumba Rue (yes I know me eyes are closed, I t'was enjoyin' the shade) Here's a few of us Port Royal Pri…

I hate it when threads get soooo long you have to keep scrolling to get to the new stuff so.... I had posted that I have a new site dedicated to the Pirate Re-enactor/Living Historians persuit of an authentic interpretation.... Well, I now have a Pirate's Library page up and running! Just Go to http://www.gentlemenoffortune.com/index.htm and click on the Pirate's Library link (Tews Flag) If you think I have missed any significant work, please let me know. The problem with a lot of "pirate" books is that they re-hash a lot of the same info about the same pirate's bio. So if I missed a book with a lot of meat that is not covered in other tomes.... please pipe up!

Ahoy maties! Some of you met me at the Tall Ships Challenge in New London this past weekend as a quiet wench with a cutlass. Coastie has converted me to the joys of plundering, pillaging, and looting with some of the greatest characters around. It's good to be here! Cheers!

Ahoy and avaast ye, maytees!!!!!!!!!!.......I figure it be a reasonable time to post this, as soon I'll be done fastenin' planks, and able to concentrate on putting up the cyber connection to this organisation. 'PRIVATEER!......Inc.' is now a fledgling, legal non-profit organisation with a living history theme of sail training and reenactment of maritime events, mostly involving, but not limited to the Tallship Royaliste. At this point this is primarily a thrust to begin her restoration and maintainance in order to campaign the vessel late this year and for sure the 2005 season.....Any and all interest in our formation and pursuits, be it by participation, donation, or ge…

Please forgive me for probably bringing up an ancient subject, but I've been absent for a while...raidin' other foru...erm...ports...and so I've missed quite a bit. But, having just been to the PA Ren Faire, and planning to go a couple more times this year, I got to wondering about what would be in a real female pirate's wardrobe. I am not comfy in traditional 'pirate wench' attire, tho Mr. Das would certainly love me to dress that way. :) But in mid-August there is no way in hell that anyone is gonna squeeze me into a vice-like bodice. And the skirts (esp. with underslips and all) are just too hot for me. I know it's said that female pirates would dress like men.…
