I am once again, slogging my way thru Patrick O'brian's books. I have never read one thru. It's strictly the terminology that starts to get to me. I have started at the beginning and I would like to be thru Far Side of the World, when the movie comes out in November. Have you read them? Why do you think they picked a book so far into the series for the movie? Well, here is a link for the trailer. What be your thoughts? http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/master_a...der/medium.html

Ahoy all ye scalliwags.....The Capt. wants to know what would you take with you if...... you went back then ( say around 1650 thru 1750 ) and you are of course from now....... And please leave out phone. I mean, who are you going to call if you have the only phone? The idea is to think of something to take back with you that you think would be of great use. Not something that would get you branded as a witch. Also, remember, that whatever it is you take, you have the only one For me, it has to be... asprin. I mean, yeah air conditioning would be great, but, no electric. High powered rifles and modern weapons are good, but, no modern ammo to use... and visa versa....…

Love this website. I've been looking for references to help me with a piece of writing I'm doing...ok, I'll admit it...it's that damn POTC movie that inspired me to write a piece of (gulp) FanFic. OK, there, I said it. Forgive me. But I've always had a thing for pirates, and rum-guzzling, swaggering, slurring, dreadlocked, square-jawed pirates with a mouth full o' gold are my particular area of interest. But only if they line their eyes with black kohl. I'm no downstream pirate groupie. I could use some help if anyone is so inclined to participate. Need two things: First, particular pirate slang words and their meaning(s). I mean, does the word 'savvy' mean 'understand…

I am all the way on the opposite coast in Southern NJ. I have a 15yo son who is on a surfing conference in San Diego, staying at a Motel 6 in Carlsbad. He left on Saturday and we have not heard from him once. Now, this is not unusual as he had a new surf board made for him which was delivered to his room on arrival. And you know how it is with new toys. Oh, and California probably has real waves unlike us new jersey folks. Just thought since my son wasn't telling me, what's the weather like there. And the water temp, and the waves. He is going to surf some famous beach there - the wedge - if he has the nerve and also tressels.

'lo all! I'm a newbie in SCA, and looking for infomation about female pirates and rank aboard pirate ships. I've been reccomended to this site ( don't you all feel special ) for infomation. The only kicker is that is needs to be historically accurate, at least for SCA purposes. If you could all give me a bit of assistance, I've be most grateful. On to the questions: Most of the female pirates I've read about seem to have taken command of their own ship and such. Did most female pirates simply join the crew, and if so did they disguise themselves as males? What about privateers? ( Aka the times of Drake, where the english hired people to go and mess with the …

I just discovered this site and it's just what I've been looking for. I'm a professional novelist, perhaps best known for my series SPQR: historical mysteries set in ancient Rome. But I've also written a great deal of SF, fantasy and contemporary mystery as well, around 50 books in all. I'm now laying the keel for a rip-snortin', blood-in-the-scuppers pirate novel. I've been a lifelong pirate fan and was amazed to find that there are so many of us out there. Haven't picked a pirate moniker yet, but then I already have one of the great pirate names. Looking forward to splicing with you all.

I just finished a pirate romance called Defiant Captive by Kathy Jones. "She was his to command, he was her's to love" She survived weeks of terror in the dark hold of a pirate ship and had bravely faced the humiliation of the auction block. Now that she'd been sold to Captain Kade Morgan it was time she planned her escape. It would not be easy to flee the handsome pirate especially when her traitorous body yearned for the rough magic of his embrace. But, her master had already tamed her wild heart. I cannot get enough of these romance novels! Can anyone recommend any others? I like the stories where the men are in command, and take what they want!

How many on this list are actively involved or seriously interested in getting actively involved in researching and portraying an authentic pirate crew? Partying is great too, but I want to get involved with a serious, pyratically-oriented group that researches and portrays living history, and would be interested in hearing from anyone who does.

History of Notorious Pirates - I know there was some debate over the actual author of this book. And I knew that there were alot of experts who believed it was done by Dafoe, but I didn't know there was actual proof. If that be the case how can they print an edition with DeFoe listed as the author as in this copyright 1999 on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...&category=29327

Has anybody ever been involved in this? I have organized fall festivals for several years. And our shore town is always looking for fall events to extend what we call our bumper season. We have several businesses that would lend themselves well to this and Sept. and Oct. are the best time of the year to come down to the shore on weekends. Any ideas here.

So I met a new neighbor the other night while participating in a migrating porch party. Someone at the party needed a knife, and I offered up my pocketknife, which happened to be of the rigging variety. When my new neighbor noticed this he expressed an interest in buying a sailboat and learning to use it on Lake Michigan, and wondered if I might be interested in joining him. Well we all know the answer to that :) Later during the same party, we were discussing unusual last names, what with mine meaning "Unholy Pickle" and his meaning "Dragon." Yup, his last name is Drake. And upon further discussion, it came to light that he's a direct descendent of Sir Frances himsel…

Blimey! I ne'er seen so many pirates a'fore. Okay, okay. I'll stop with my bad imitation of a pirate. Honestly, I am one of those crazy ppl that got into pirate stuff 'cause of a certain movie with a certain attractive actor... But I assure you that I've always been a history fan and history of the Americas rocks. I promise to work on my pirate speech (hopefully y'all will help me) as long as you promise not to keelhaul me (and I probably spelled that wrong..). As I mentioned, I am very interested in history. I did not, however, mention that I am a photographer. I live around the northern area of VA and am looking for opportunities nearby to do some "pirate…
