The Pirates' Pact: The Secret Alliances Between History's Most Notorious Buccaneers and Colonial America by Douglas Burgess

The Buccaneer King: The Biography of Sir Henry Morgan, 1635-1688 by Dudley Pope

Shakspeare's Wife by Germaine Greer

And lots of articles

Well done Ed, I'd come see but as bloody usual I'll be slaving away over roast beef in the Palace again!

What Palace would that be Grymm? Perhaps Hampton Court Palace? Are you one of Marc Meltonville's crew?

Try Pirates & Privateers of the Americas by David F. Marley. I know it at least mentions the names of taverns in Port Royal. Cheap used copies can be found on Amamzon.com

Our own Foxe has has an article published in International Journal of Maritime History (v.22 no.2 Dec 2010) It's titles Jacobitism & the "Golden Age" of Piracy, 1715-1725 / by E.T. Foxe. I just photocaopied it so I can take it home to read at my leisure. Way to go Ed!

Is there a digital document of the actual periodocal or maybe just the article?

I transcribed it verbatum (sans long s) from the book itself. I thought it would be more readable for modern readers. As too getting a digital image of the actual article, the Huntington has strict policies about that and I wouldn't be able to do it. There's a book here of watercolors early 18th c. of ships flags (including on black flag with skull and cross bones dated 1704 and a flag that looks like Tew's that I think is earlier)that I can't even post to friends. I just have high res photos of two of them (and only allowed two photos). I am so sorry I can't post them but that's institutional policy. If we ever meet at an event I'll show them to anyone.

Red Maria ~~~~~ eye edited the post to give the credit were it is due...

Eye Saw this on the other site so Eye thought it be nice to share it here..

Sorry if you think Eye stole it or worse.. Was not really my intention though Eye can't help myself..eagh eagh ~

That's OK Eye. You meant well.

Yes nice find Oderlesseye. Too bad you didn't say you got it from me. That it is from a book at the Huntington Library where I work.

Red Maria

This story obviously happened later than GAOP so if there are any other accounts that you know of that are closer to period..Eye would like to know about it because it is something that could be reenacted.

*************************************************************************************************

Purusing the referernce shelves I found this 18thc. (Yes an actual 18thc. periodcal and it isn''t in rare books) the periodical's title is:

The annual register, or a view of the history, politicks, and literature, for the year 1758

There was the following entires:

Aug 6, 1758 the lords of the admiralty received information that a Dutch ship, having onboard the baggage of the Marquis de Pignatelly, minister from the court of Spain to the court of Denmark, and several of his domestics, was on the 30th of June last, boarded three times, by the crews three different English privateers; that some of the crews armed with cutlasses, pistols, and hatchets, forced open the hatchways, and went into the said ships hold, and there broke open tow trunks belonging to the Marquis de Pignatelly, wherein there were rich clothes and laced liveries, which they carried away to their ship: and that whilst they were so doing the crew of another English vessel joined upon which said crews committed very great outrages, by breaking open all said Marquis de Pigmatellys cases, and trunks, and taking and carrying away all valuable effects, which were in six of the said cases and trunks, and destroying or damaging the rest of those effect; and then falling upon his, said ministers officers, beat them in a very cruel and shameful manner , and stripping them of their clothes, carried them off, together with their letter of credit and a bill of exchange. Their lordships, therefore, in order to bring to justice the persons guilty of the piratical offences above mentioned, are pleased to promise a reward of 5ool. Without any deduction, unto or amongst such person or persons as shall, within three months from this time, discover any two or more of the offenders, concerned in committing the piracies mentioned above

Aug 16, 1758 A captain of a privateer was taken into custody of the marshal of the admiralty, near the Royal Exchange, on an information for committing several outrages on neutral vessels in the British channel.

Aug 17, 1758 Come on at the high court of admiralty before Sir George Lee, Knight, several trials with regard to Dutch and Danish ships taken by our privateers; and it appearing to the satisfaction of the court, that their cargoes were French property, four were condemned as legal prizes; and the court gave orders that the freights of three of them should be paid, and the ships set at liberty; but a Dutch vessel taken by the Hawk privateer, and carried to Gibraltar, had both ship and cargo condemned; she is a very valuable prize

I have seen period depictions of Black Bart clean shaven. I've seen period depictions of Blackbeard with a neat trimmed beard. There were plenty of barber-surgeons around who could do cheap shave. The Sweeny Todd fable started as an 18th c. story. Here's some illustrations from Laroon's Cryes of London:

These are for the most part the poor of London yet there is nary a facial hair.

Congrats on enlarging your fleet Tito!

I have been a member of Mystic Seaport before I wa born! Just kidding the Huntington has had a membership since before I was bonr. Some years ago I called to claim an issue of]The Log of Mystic Seaport (now ceased publication). The lady I talked to got my name and addressed the issue to me. Ever since then my name has appeared on the membeship card. Nothing I've done seems to make them remove it.

So when one year we got a guest membership card under my name I lent it to some friends who were going to visit. One is a tall ship captain the other a pirate historian (both are in PRP). They asked if there was anything they could get me anything and I said nothing in particular but if they saw something they think I'd like to get it.

Well they went to the Skull & Crossbones Pub in Mystic and bought me this

The Pub's motto is "Strong Ales and Loose Women" Great huh! They said the Pub was great too. So when you go to Mystic, CT check out the Skull & Crossbones Pub. It's pirate friendly and pirate approved.

Aye Happy Natal Day Rory me bandmate. You're the finest, harper, ukelele, concertina, penny whistle player there is!

You're a risk-taker, and you follow your passions. You're determined to take on the world and succeed on your own terms. Whether in the arts, science, engineering, business, or politics, you fearlessly express your own vision of the world. You're not afraid of a fight, and you're not afraid to bet your future on your own abilities. If you find a job boring or stifling, you're already preparing your resume. You believe in doing what you love, and you're not willing to settle for an ordinary life.
