Red Maria

I've mentioned these guys before but I thought maybe you'd like to see an article with them discussing their work. The are the guys from the Hampton Court kitchen who come over once a year to do research at the Huntington. The are true stiklers for authenicity but don't let themselves be dominated by it. A lesson we can all learn from. :) http://www.latimes.com/features/food/la-fo...1,3178077.story Some of you may have to sign up with LA Times online but it's free and doesn't take much time. They are fun lecturers too! :) Enjoy!

Ooops! Well better getting a head start

I've always been fond of William Morris's Kelmscott Press bindings. Leather, elaborately carved ... You are talking about book bindings right? ... Oh! Those type of bindings! I would have to say my enchanting charm is all I need to bind a man. :)

A round of root beer for Cabinlass Maggie on her 14th Natal Day. A round of rum for those of us that are of an age to drink! Sorry lass a wee bit of a slip made me miss spell your name in the subject line.

I've been wanting that particular tune meself Bess. I'll be waiting to hear how to get it. Thanks

Oh good! Just in time for my nephew's birthday! Bess do you think it will be out by March? Will there be a DVD? Thanks

Aye me fellow belly dancer there are many schools out there for both theatrical and actual combat. In my oipiom it's good to have training in both. You might try Sword Forum International at: http://www.swordforum.com/ There is a European Historical Swordsmanship forum & a Theatrical Swordsmanship forum as well. A couple of people the Pub are avid memebers. I am sure you can find competent teacher in your area through those two forums. BTW there is also a Living History/Re-enactment forum there as well. Good luck!

Ah! Men stripped to the waist and sharpening their cutlasses. <sigh> There's a site for ya! :)

Hornigold was the Lee Strausberg of pirates. Anyone who was anyone studied with him. On page 268 of Between the Devil & the Deep Blue Sea by Marcus Redicker you'll find a chart on how Hornigold either directly/indirectly trained or interacted with practically every pirate of notability during the years of 1714-1727. Blackbeard his most notable protege I call a method pirate cause he really got into the role of being a pirate.

It even made the cover! The only thing wrong with it is that it listed The Buccaneers by Edith Wharton as a book of note of pirate fiction. The Buccaneers is about a group of rich youg women in the 1870's who go to England to catch titled English men in marriage. I e-mailed the publisher about that and suggested that The Pirate by Sir Walter Scoot or Howard Pyle's Book of Pirates would have been better choices. Let me know if you want pre- year 2000 titles.

Dread Pirate Bonney Not bad but I still like Red Maria better :)

All the books I have listed have been published since 2000 so they should all be in print: Archaeology and the social history of ships by Richard A.

I'm going to start listing books that The Huntiington receiveds that might be of interest to all of us. These mybe books on piracy but will also be books of maritime interest. Here is a few to begin with: The Global Schooner: Origins, Development, Design, & Construction, 1695-1845 by Karl Marquardt Naval Institute Press : Conway Maritime Press, 2003 ISBN 1591143284 Sea Life in Nelson's Time by John MasefieldNaval Institute Press, 2002 ISBN 155750126 Pirate Wars by Peter Erle Methuen Publishing Ltd., 2003 ISBN 041375880x

I finally got the person who is th archivist for the maritime collection here to look at it. The Library os getting a subscription. Can't wait till it gets here! When things settle down I am seriously thinking of getting that Pirates of the Caribbean book. :)

Sounds interesting Capt. Keep me posted. I heard all about The Ship from one of the participants who did some research here. Can't remember the name though.

I do act as ship's surgeon on the Ravenheart which is one of the two pirate crews I am with. That's why I've done so much research on the subject. If you want to check out that persona here's a link: http://www.ravenhearts.org/members.htm#fname I sent in a persona bio but Capt. Colorado hasn't posted it yet. To tell you the truth the costume is more Red Maria the Artemisia but that’s what the captain wanted!

There is actually at least one well-known pirate historian on this list who uses a Nom de Plume on here. I'll let him know. What level of school is this for? There is at least one other person I know who could give you a hand.

Here I was thinking not only is he one taco shy of a combo plate but he's lost the whole enchilada as well! As you said, not far from the truth which is why it was believeable at first glance.

If I had bothered to go past the first paragraph I would have known that! Silly me!

This is about Eisner renaming Disney after himslf http://www.uncoveror.com/eisner.htm Bess is this true? I didn't think he was that crazy!

Great stuff! Here's a link http://www.slate.msn.com/id/2069052 There is also a link to another article titled "Huanted Mansion" at the bottom.

Great that you're applying for PRP! You'll then be me crewmate! :) Just another chestnut for all out there, there is a book called "The Adventures of Roderick Random" by Tobias Smollett. It is the adventure of a naval surgeon in the mid-18thc. . The author Smollett was a doctor/surgeon in the British navy and the book is considered semi-autobiographical. If you want a sense of what maritime medicine was in the 18th c. it's a great resource.

You'd be surprised at the variety and number of health care professionals that existed prior to 1800. When I find that book "Health, Medicine, & Mortality in the Sixteenth Century" I'll photocopy the essays on training and education of healthcare professionals in the 16th c. . But it's in a different part of the library and I need to get over to it.

Bit your tongue Zorg! I remember the ship and the skull. I too didn't eat there because I don't like tuna. It was the Mexican place next to the then borro rides I fancied. But it was a cool ship to play on! :)

Hey! And wot of yurs did I ever take! Covet yes but ner did I ever took form you lass! :) ROTDLMBAO!!!!!!!!! Now now Firey Red... did I say from ME????? PIRATE!
