So i was thinking about my pirare phase here, and I decided that I need to find a non internet store somewhere in New Jersey or New York that has a pirate theme and emphasizes clothing. It's not that I don't know how to sew my own threads it's just that I'd like to have it done for me being a lazy arse pirate and all. Does anyone know of places that fit the description? If so please, please tell me the location, storename,and/or store website. Also if anyone knows of any clubs that are pirate themed and in the general NJ, NY, PA area info. on those would be really cool too! I thank all you who answer!

It's a comedic, modern-day pirate novel called "Pirates of Pensacola." St. Martin's Press is publishing it using an alias for me (for reasons I'm sure are obvious to you, shipmates). For plot summary and reviews and stuff like that, drop anchor at PiratesofPensacola.com. If any of you lopers buy the bastard, I'll send you a bookplate (fancy publishing word for sticker) with a hand-writ inscription on it.

Astrolabes

First off, I was only pointing out the inauthenticity of sextants for those who might be horrified to learn that their gear wasn't quite right. If you're happy with 1750s gear as part of your pirate kit that's absolutely fine by me. And generally speaking yes, sextants are much cheaper and more easily available. Principally I think the problem is that none of the companies who make these repica instruments (Saunders and Cooke, Stanley of London etc) make mariner's astrolabes rather than the much more complex astronomical astrolabes. Mariner's astrolabes would be much cheaper than sextants if anyone made them! However, if you did want to go more authentic I can think of a…

Hi, I'm in the middle of making a RN middie's (circa 1805) coat for a friend, and I'm about to embark on a USN lieutenant's coat (1802-14 pattern) for me, and I'm having the devil of a job finding the correct buttons. So, can any of you chaps point me towards a supplier of replica buttons for both or either of these projects. For the middie's coat I need small flat buttons in gold or brass with a fouled anchor motif but no border, for the USN lieutenant's coat the buttons should also be brass or gold, and flat with a fouled anchor with an eagle over the top, the whole ringed by 15(?) stars. Anyone?

In creation of each of your costumes, where did you spend the most money? Weapons? Boots? Hats? Tankards? Looking back would you have done anything different, (or spent the money in a different part of your outfit)? Would you recommend "making" some of the costume, allowing you to spend more money, etc on weapons . . . Any help or opinions are appreciated. (Mugs of rum available.)

Now that the building of my own little boat has begun in earnest, I thought I'd start a thread to document its progress and construction. Having sailed on Royaliste several times, I was hooked. I decided to start teaching myself to sail, and what better way than on my own small vessel? I hunted around for plans, armed only with a garage full of tools, a father who was willing to help, and a small list of requirements. 1) The boat must be able to fit (on its side) through a three-foot gate. This would allow backyard storage. 2) It should be gaff-rigged, and wooden. Both of these are aesthetic reasons. In addition, the gaff-rig would help me with understanding Royal…

I have a female child size 12 pyrate that be needin' some garb for faires etc. She is aware the cost of her father & I's costumes and knowing this has asked this be be her ONLY Bday present. How can I say no when the kid only asks for one thing? I would love to put it together for around $100 since in 2 years I doubt she'll fit in it. Any suggestions on where I might start lookin? Or any SIMPLE patterns; I can use a needle and thread meself at a VERY basic level and thought I might do her skirt, but there is no way I can do much more than that. Thank thee in advance~ Kat

Some years back i bought a equinoctial ring dial on the flee market for the price of a little over $1! (I said $3.14 first but i forgot i didn't buy it for 2.50 euro but guilders! I've had it for more time then we have the euro..) I have seen them several times on the web in nautical stores, and mostly old ones and they'd be over $200 but now i've found a new one and it says it's ="made based on the 16th - 17th century designs found in European museums." ROTFL...$110!!!! I am loving this..ya know those programs where people bring stuff they bought for a few dimes and get it taxated and it turns out so valuable..i always say i wish that would happen to me but it has! …

Okay, so last season I bought this gorgeous dagger right? But it didn't come with a sheath, just a display stand as it's really meant as more of a decorative piece. But I just love this thing and want to carry it on me for next season, just for looks. Being broke and cheap, I'm not sure i want to spend the money on the ones I've found online, so my questions are thus . . . a) does anyone have anyone have any patterns or directions on how to make one short of eyeballing it (which I've done . . .) also recommendations on materials provided I can't get my hands on some leather, might be nice. (Again, I've experimented with leatherish looking viynal, and it was a good thing…

Ok guys this is the bike we were test driving when we had the accident. Now that Im terrified of the darned thing I told hubby he could not keep it but had to sell it. It's a 1987 BMW K100LT. It has 114,000 miles and is a gold/tan color. The head is cracked from the accident. It also now bears scratches. Both Saddlebags were broken, Windshield and lights are still intact. The seat has a minor scratch. We are having to buy the bike from the guy who owns it and I am just trying to sell it for what the guy wants so I dont have to look at the thing. It can be fixed from what I understand..Or could be sold for parts. So any of you motorcycle enthusiasts who are intr…
