Aye! Avast, Shipmate. Tis meself wot knows ye wouldst nay venture forth o' an evening wi'out the attire stolen from at no less of a Earl or Baron. As meself taught by Braze, "Steal only the finest o' clothing!" As for yer Lady Serena. Aye and a fine site indeed. Ye were ne'er known to duel for, take as prize or for ransome nay less fine a lady as I can recall. I be a'lookin' fer yer tops'l's to clear th' Cape so we may have merriment an tip a tankard or two at Hampton so close in the offing. Until then, Shipmate, Fare Thee Well, Dutch "X" (his mark)

Now that would be a well built boat. DeVries perhaps? My cousin is Captain aboard of a 90 ft Feadship built in the mid ' 80s. There were two built to look like Rybovitch Sportfishermen. They were the first sportfish boats Feadship had built since the '50s. I have sailed aboard of her from Florida to Rhode Island and from North Carolina to Fla. What a vessel!! From my experience with Dutch Boats, sail and power, they have been outstanding. VanDeStat designs have been built by so many people and have been able to cruise them extensively. I had an experience with a 1920s sailboat built for DeVries of Black Iron! It had an ancient gas motor with a magneto. The mast was on a tabernacle with great gears so you could easily raise and lower your mast. The "downside" for selling this boat was the interior was "Spartan" at best! Oh but she'd last a long time! Thanks for the picture. I hope I never have to see the bow view over my stern!

Avast there, Shipmate! Ye be lookin smart as paint! Mos' like a gentleman, sez eye! Az I bin told by Braze, "Steal only the finast o' clothing!" Eye think ye did, sir! No blood stains nor holes. No brown stains neither! Wuzzint a'wearin 'em whence ye nipped 'em? Eye, They belongs upon,ye sir!

Huzzah! Well met, Shipmate. T'is a fine lookin' monkey's fist!

Such Becket is only fitting for such a fine Sea Chest. T'is a thing of Beauty, Oderlesseye! Now, a good ball of tarred marline thrown in will keep the mildew off yer kit!

These are just beautiful! They look like originals.

A proper garment to be warn about The State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations around the late 17th century. Indeed! Beautiful!

Now There be yer "Red handed"! Caught!

Great Kit! The whole outfit looks really good. So! Let's go Plunder something!

Great shot! Looks like a period painting.

Of course the Ink draws my attention as well. Beautiful work.

This appears to me to be a beautifully rendered drawing of chain shot. I say "appears" because it could be a photo of well made chain shot. The problem is, I'm two weeks older than the geezer wots posted them! The "Ayes" aint wot loik them used t' be! Eh? Mr. Hook?

Now that makes it perfectly clear! This display of weaponry has been most impressive. Thank you.

Beautiful! I'm particularly fond of this Compass Rose

Mr Bottles, Tis a thing of beauty, indeed. It appears as a presentation set as you mayhaps gift upon a close friend. Stunning. Huzzah, I say. Indeed, Huzzah!

Be it ever so humble there's no place like home!

Avast, Sir! Now this be as wot I wuz referin to. Now I likes some finery whence I goes ashore, but fer whence I'm aboard, sez I, It's short Jacket and wide trousers! I don't be of a mind to run afoul o' th riggin'. No, sez ye! Thinks not, sez I. This yar be'in the Picture.

This Photo is like a time warp! What an awesome shot! Those evenings at the camp, as the sun set and we sat and watched, dressed in our finast, what could be more fitting! 500 Years! We have been standing on the South West point of the Isle o' Bones, maybe anchored at thatexact point, but we watch for the tops'ls of a merchantman or Galleon, soon to meet their fate! Hers's one for Don Maitz!

Below the fore stays'l under the canvas cover is "Meka"s Bow Gun. You can see both fore and aft of the main mast, angled up, the rail guns, port and starb'd. Although hard to see on the taffrail, on the foremast, fighting top, rail aft, same canvas cover only very small, is one of the three swivel guns.

Steadier than Starbuck. No finer kind! To Lt. Brown, Huzzah x3!

There's a lot to be said by a beautiful profile in beautiful light!

Wow! This would make a great painting. Wonderful photograph with a wonderful subject!

Beautiful work, Willie! Everuone needs to stow their "Ditties"! A fine way ta be done, for sure!

Excellent! Some great shots! I'm sorry I didn't see you at PiP. I'm still available for criminal defence should you require my services again.

Having read your profile this piece has much more meaning. Awesome work, all!
