The Crew of the Scavenger is an authentic, living history pirate group based primarily in Florida, but with members around the U.S. Our main goal is to realistically portray a pirate crew from the "Golden Age of Piracy", particularly the time period between about 1710 and 1725, as they might have appeared while ashore in a town like Charles Town or Nassau. All of our clothing is as close to period correct as possible, from the cut and design of each garment, to the materials they are made of. The same goes for our weapons, be it swords, pistols, or muskets. If it wasn't around by 1725, our goal is that it won't be seen on us. By joining this group, our members have a…

Photo 1 - I created a rectangular wooden frame of pine 2x2s reinforced with metal corner brackets. Photo 2- I reinforced the top essentially making a bench so that once finished it could serve as a seat. Photo 3 - I reinforced the bottom but added a hidden hatch so that the interior of the bale could be used for storage. I couldn't justify something so big as just a seat or just as a set piece, so it is where we hide farby modern things we have to have, such as the drill for the screws assembling the tables cutter made, or the current med kit, etc. Photo 4 - The working hatch underneath with simple hinges and locks. Photo 5 - I wrapped it in two lay…

Much has changed on New Providence Island since 1715. Ecosystems have shrunk or been lost completely, species have gone extinct at the local level or been replaced by invasive newcomers, and a bustling city has sprung up where once stood the burned out shell of a town bustling with hundreds of English pirates. This is my attempt, based on many hours of research to visually reconstruct what New Providence was like during the early 18th century. (PHOTOS ARE GROUPED WITH RELATED PHOTOS AS BEST AS POSSIBLE) A coppice is an area of many trees growing close together, with heavy shade. The Bahamas are home to two types of coppice, the Blackland Coppice, and the Whitela…

An assortment of references to shoes worn by sailors and the working class from between 1687 and 1725. Photo 1 - Open sided latchet shoes, circa 1687. A close up of an image from the London Cries series. Photo 2 - A selection from a 1725 Dutch painting entitled "A Vegetable Seller and his Son", with focus on the small buckles and small tongues of their shoes. Photo 3 - Gamekeeper to Sir Nicholas Williams of Edwinsford, circa 1725. Notice the small buckles and short tongued shoes. Photo 4 - A pair of low tongued, tied, latchet shoes, potentially with an open side, though it's hard to tell. A selection from a larger painting, "Hob Selling Beer at the Wake", a sce…
