We'd do it back home in East Tennessee, really fun event to be at. Couple of years ago Goat Days they had an event too. Fair Winds, thunderbuster

Thank ye one and all!!! Your knowledge is amazing. Fair Winds, thunderbuster

I have read the Spanish made use of archers armed with bows and crossbows up in the rigging (in order to prevent sail fires caused by firearms). Does anyone have other info on new world mariners or Pyrates being knowledgable/proficent with archery? Would yall consider pyrates "farby" if they also had archery equipment supplementing their arms inventory? Fair Winds, thunderbuster

Thanks Dueller for the information on glass bottom tankard history.

Nice work.

Thank you LadyBrower. The coupon link worked too. Fair Winds, thunderbuster

Ahoy Renfairpirate, Cap'n, thank ye kindly for teaching this art in an easy to understand manner! Good luck with the surgery! Fair WInds, thunderbuster

I also posted this link in the Fusil thread on Buccaneers and I've cross posted it here since it has good information on period arms, etc.. http://www.vikingswo...word/index.html Fair Winds, thunderbuster

Thank ye kindly sir. Sounds like easy enuf 'n fittin process to clean some other scallywags baccy smoke off-a any booty I might stumble across. Fair Winds Cap'n, thunderbuster

May Jesus grant his family, strength and comfort, through these most trying times.

Ahoy list, Are all y'all aware of this site dealing with early arms and armour? You might want to do some digging as they have pre-and post- period match/dog/flintlock threads. http://www.vikingswo...word/index.html Fair Winds, thunderbuster

Hardy harrgh harrgh Cap'n_Scurvy sir, That be a right whimsical reply thar...I like it. Sounded like my own ship's surgeon who keeps going on about me wenchin, eatin, 'n' drinkin... the poor bloke is daft...he says it's bad fer me heart. I disagree's with him, they be what cheers me heart sumthin fierce! Got no real advise on chasing down young deckhands. Except get them ta pass ya the rum when the tankard be dry, the costly little swabbies. I'm still learning with the 4 in my crew. The anti-smokin' solution I'm referrin' too be the one ya soaked them thar haul o'button booty in... Fair Winds or an enjoyable port to ya Cap'n. thunderbuster

Good luck with the back recovery! Great haul your friend gave you with the buttons. Can you share the anti-smoke solution recipe?

Permission to speak Cap'n, Strange sails sighted off the starboard beam...it appears to be Cap'n Darkhelmet's...scourge of the Druish seas...an' his ship the "Ludicrus Sloop"...

Did pyrates wear rosettes/roundles on their tricorns like period soldiers' identifications?
