How many on the list are interested in Jean Lifitte and his Baratarian brethren? They were smugglers, privateers, but were they really pirates? Capt. William

So I've started me training aboard the great lakes schooner, The Denis Sullivan. In eight short weeks I'll be fully qualified to swab decks and mend sails aboard this mighty freshwater vessel. Actually, as someone who's lived on or near the ocean for most 'is life, I've always been a little hesitant to give much respect to something so "tiny" as a lake. Gimme the salt air and giant squids. Still, some of my prejudices have been squelched - For example, I now know that if a ship sinks in the middle of Lake Michigan, it is NOT possible to simply roll up your pant legs and walk to shore 'Ere's a pic of the Sullivan:

Animated pirate shooter POLL
by Guest Angus MacVox- 0 replies
- 278 views
A member of this forum has emailed me saying that the little animated pirate shooters slows down their computer and wants me to make it still. I don't see how that's possible because it's so small, but every computer has its quirks. Does anyone else have this problem and do you care if it's made still?

Does anyone know where I might find examples of letters of marque? Some books I have discuss what they are and their significance for particular govt's and privateers in history, but they do not provide actual texts and so forth. I want to see examples. Thanks!

Hello there, one and all. My name is Ray, I'm 19, and am from Wales, which is a neighbouring country to England. Pleasure to meet you all. I stumbled across this site thanks to a few helpful people who suggested I come here for research into my pirate story I'm working on, which I'd like to be available for all audiences. I've recently completed a first draft on the prologue, which will probably need some grammatical checks and some word changes, maybe some additional information, depends on how the story shapes. I wondered if anyone was interested, if they would take a look for me to give me their thoughts. If you do, I can be emailed at rayfnwillmott@yahoo.co.uk or I…

Arrrgghh! and a Hearty Hello! Me crew and I were just cruising on by and stumbled onto your site. I must say it is very interesting. I and some fellow pirates are in a small group called the Brotherhood. We sail the seas nightly playing a game called AOS II and AOS II Privateer. There are other sailing factions representing countries around the world who we engage, sink and pillage nightly. I always say, If you cant do it in person why not virtually. See you around.

Ahoy all... I promise not to do this again. I am going to set Wed. evening ( 11:30pm eastern time ) as a scheduled chat night. If anyone wants to drop by and chat , that would be great. Also, if anyone wants to host a special topic, that would be cool too. I will do this every Wed. Evening as long as possible.

The crew spent a full day looting the merchant ship of her cargo. To the Favor went extra sail, rigging, rope etc. They also took various tools instruments and any maps and charts. They also loaded pipes of wine, vast quantities of silks and ivories, gunpowder and tobaccoo. They loaded a fair amount of silver coin and plate. Not bad for one days work. Along with her cargo; three of the merchantmans crew "volunterred" to join the favor. One was a carpenter named Johnothan krick another was a cooper and a regular mariner. All three signed the articles and became part of the Favor. The now smaller crew of the merchant ship were set free. free to retuen to whatever p…

Her sails caught the wind and she rose with the waves. The sea sprayed across her decks and she plunged through them. She was a strong ship fast and sleek. Twenty mounted cannon and four swivel guns. A formidable match for just about anything she would encounter. Sail ahead, came the call. The crew started to scrambble to thier post. Clear the decks for action. Chain shot and partridges, bellowed the orders from the quartermaster. Peter Kingston was still a young man, only twenty nine. Tanned from his life at sea and very strong from his labors on board ship. Put a single ball across her decks when we get closer,called Peter. Lets make a straight run for her…

I was wondering if it might be possible to put a link somewhere in the pub so we could go to the @pyracy.com email function easier? OK, I guess I could bookmark it next time, but right now, I forget and have to go to the pinned message for the link.
