ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- For sale: Yacht. May need work. Seller eager to unload. The state-owned Maryland Independence, built for the Canadian Navy during World War II and refurbished in the 1970s as a pleasure vessel, is going up for bids on eBay. Gov. Robert Ehrlich is unloading the yacht to keep a promise made during his gubernatorial campaign last year. "The governor felt it was not an efficient use of money even in good times," said Paul Schurick, Ehrlich's communications director. The annual operating costs of about $230,000 "can be used for other purposes," he said. The auction begins Thursday and bidding will continue for 10 days, said Henry Fawell, an Ehrlich sp…

Ahoy pirates!! Over the last several months you've watched our homely little turquoise blue boat from Ebay, make the transformation into "The Land Shark", our pirate ship parade float. Nautical tradition dictates that whenever a boat is renamed, that there should be a prayer asking for safety, a bottle of fine spirits broken or poured over the bow, prayers offered in each direction of the four winds and that the ship's renaming be celebrated once the ship is ready to be launched, in the company of good friends to wish her well. Due to our remote mountain location, and my desire to have the Land Shark officially named and properly protected before venturing down our …

Yes, I know: anything (and anyone) they wanted to! But seriously, mates: during the Golden Age (I use the term in a broad sense: 1680 - 1730), did briar pipes exist? I know they had clay ones; reed-stemmed clay pipes came in around 1750, if I recall correctly. Cigarettes didn't exist in this era. (Cigarettes are nasty, and BORING, anyway!) How about cigars? Does anyone have any evidence of pirates smoking "stronger stuff"? Capt. William

I just read Hawkyns' post on another forum (SCA-Nautical - heartily recommended for anything nautical pre-17th century) about his 16th century kit, and it set me a-thinkin'... ...what era pirate are ye, and what sort of kit, or gear, do ye use fer yer impression? I mean, the whole shebang; weapons, working knives, hats, frock coats, tents, shirts, smoking items, bottles, lamps, pocket watches, quill pens, belaying pins, etc. Also, do you consider yourself primarily an historically authentic reenactor with a pirate persona? Or are you primarily a free-form pirate? To start the discussion: I'm a newbie, so don't have much stuff yet. I've got me sights set on being prima…

In case you haven't seen this ......... The Third Infantry Regiment at Fort Myer has the responsibility for providing ceremonial units and honor guards for state occasions, White House social functions, public celebrations and interments at Arlington National Cemetery....and standing a very formal sentry watch at the Tombs of the Unknowns. The public is familiar with the precision of what is called "walking post" at the Tombs. There are roped off galleries where visitors can form to observe the troopers and their measured step and almost mechanical silent rifle shoulder changes. They are relieved every hour in a very formal drill that has to be seen to believe. S…

I rolled in late last night. I opted for one of my buddies to meet me in Baltimore and drive the 3 hours to get ot Newport News instead of flying, with 3 layovers, and taking 7 hours to travel to the same destination. Did I mention I was also spared a night over in Charleston with my 5 year old too. Anyway I opted ask my buddy to drive 3 hours to get me and everything worked out fine and I arrived a day early. Anyway, I'll post more as soon as I catch up on my e-mail.

Now I know most of you swabs are die-hard pirate fanatics, I also I know ye know yer stuff - so I figured I'd have a good deal more trying their hands at me Pirate Trivia Contest, located at Bilgemunky.com. SO... To sweeten the pot I've made two significant changes (as well as giving my site a much needed face-lift. Growing pains, ye know). First - I added an extra CD to the grand prize pot, and also changed the rules so that you don't necessarily have to answer ALL the questions correctly to win the grand prize. and Second - I've added not one, but TWO not-so-grand prize packages, so even if'n yer not THE winner, you can still win somethin' fun. C'mon ye barnicles …
