   My husband gave me this information supposedly posted to the following website: http://www.powells.com/subsection/NauticalPirates.html I went to the link and cannot find any reference to this author or book, so I did a search at abebooks.com and found it listed there: Does anyone care to comment on the truth or fallacy of the book? Has anyone read the book? What about this author being an expert on pirates? Burg, Barry R. Sodomy and the Pirate Tradition. English Sea Rovers in the 17th Century Caribbean..

   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.

    Ahoy there. I saw a post on Alt.Faires.Renaissance about the board and decided to join it. I go by the name of Morick Towain, Captain of the Pirate Brethren of Texas, a gay oriented pirate re-enactment and performance troupe. I go to several of the renaissance faires in Texas, including Scarborough, Texas Ren Faire, Excalibur, and Tablerock. I've also visited Maryland Ren Faire and Tennessee Ren Faire. I'm currently planning a personal trip to visit either Bristol Ren Faire or Ravenhurst Medieval Fantasy Faire. I look forward to some very facinating conversations and discussions on this board. :-) Morick Towain, Captain of the Pirate Brethren of Texas
