   Now I know this isn't exactly piratical, but, it is nautical.... Has anyone ever heard of any information on the lost ship The Wasp. It was a Ship used very effectively during the war, taking over 15 prizes. One day she set out and simply dissappeard. There are various theories on what happen to her, but, I never heard anything difinitive. Has anyone ever heard of any research or wreckage etc..... Let me know.... The Capt.

   I just found out that I'll be spending some time in Portsmouth, VA this year and was wondering if anyone who knows the area can guide me to some tall ships nearby. In a quick search of schoonerman.com, I found a couple in Norfolk, the Norfolk Rebel and the American Rover. Also, I found the site for the schooner Virginia, currently under construction. Are there any others??? Coastie04 "When a man comes to like a sea life, he is not fit to live on land." -Dr. Samuel Johnson

   I was reading in an article not to long ago, that the wreck of Blackbeards flagship was found. At least it is believed to possibly be the Q.A.R. Then all of the sudden, there was no more info. Has anyone heard anything about this. Also, does anyone know where I can find any stories about it. Thanks... The Capt.
