Ahoy Wild Bill, welcome aboard!

Enjoy the Pub.

Polanski's 'Pirates' a fun movie with a lot of interesting characters. However the movie is difficult to find here I believe due to Polansi's legal problems here in the US.

Another breezy pirate flick I've always enjoyed is Swashbuckler with Robert Shaw.

Creative... I can just envision the boulder rolling down the cavern towards 'Beer Belly' Bellamy after he lifted the idol.

Mr. Christian -

A splendid job and assembly.

It gives one much thought and ideas for future projects.

Jas. Hook

Mr. Christian -

Well done!

I just saw your Davy Jones Locker photos. Awesome!

What is the base (material) for the placque and ropes?

60 views but no comment - is something wrong with my request, is it to odd? I just want to know to avoid future errors!

Yours truly 'Big Belly'

I don't think so... some get responsed - others not. Have you checked your mail box?

I did a bit of a rework on your Davy Jones last week.

It sounds as if M'lady Mayhem is planning to serve quite a selection of liquid refreshment at the Tortuga Tavern.

Aye thank you Mr. Hook! Maybe my provenance helps hereby. Outsiders say that being grumpy and frightening is a kind of a swabian cardinal virtue

Mr. Christian -

I'm just the opposite... I seem to scare no one... including children.

I'm reading The Hudson: A History by Tom Lewis

There is mention of NYC being a pirate hub but no specific 'plundering'.

It appears that unrestricted trade in contraband and slaves was very common in the area.

It would appear that if there was profit to be made just about everyone turned a blind eye.

A good historical read.
