Ahoy mates! I have boarded and intend to do a great deal of plunder. I am the Pyrate Queen, so named by my Captain, Capt. William. Together we are a formidable force, and enjoy sailing, singing, shooting (bow and musket) and dancing in our spare time, when we are not plundering and looting to earn our keep! Danm the bill collectors! The Pyrate Queen

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…

I'd like to know how many of you like to take yer beasties along on your adventures? Below are a couple of photos of Cloudy, my triton cockatoo. He's wearing a "flight suit" in the picture with a skull and cross bones on it. The suit is a lycra body suit with a safety harness, that gives us a bit more security when we go out (and with it's built in diaper, it keeps my pirate coat clean!!) At the bottom are a couple of links to sound files so you can hear a few of his words. I'm counted over 100 words and phrases that he knows. Cloudy is approximately 30-something and was trained for the Baretta television series. However, due to his extreme dislike of men, he didn't …

Greetings, new member here. In my real life I am a part-time writer trying to be full time. I'm currently working on a book where pirates focus heavily. Particularly Port Royal, towards the end of it's time afloat. What I'm especially looking for is the flavor of a pirate town. What people ate, what merchants were there, what homes were like, ya know daily things. Cause the book will include time at sea as well as a prominent character who lives on Port Royal, owning a pub. I have a couple books, like Pirates own Book and Under the Black Flag. so if anybody has any good books to recommend, or films this would be great. What about the festivals. Might any of these be o…
