Pirate Petee

Amen Lady B, amen!

Well said Mr. Morris

I can see what Mission is saying, after reading the article, the author, in my opinion, was trying to paint the image that slavery was all that Blackbeard was interested in. And I think that he is trying to make a bigger deal out of something that was common. There was a slave trade during the GAoP, and slaves were cargo and pirates took cargo.

Pirates never say die! Or was that goonies, I forget, oh well nope the Pub aint dead, it just and flows like the sea.

I don't forgive ya cause I hates every body.... :angry: ..... HAHAHA. Just kidding no I don't, Love is what I got, even for those that question that validity of bucket boots.

Be good to see you too mate, we will have to have a rum or three!

That be right in my waters mate

Would love to see ya too mate and your movie, zombies you say, I'm definitely there. This is still on the Queen Mary?

Thank you Foxe, its good to see a familiar face around here as well. I need to stop by more often. Also let me congratulate you on your publishing. True, history books do get it wrong from time to time. Although there are some well-documented facts in the book as well. I wasn’t trying to give the impression that all pirates wore boots and if they had them were worn on a ship. Situation does dictate the wardrobe, if you had the means, I mean. Just illustrating a fact that these certain types of boots were available during this time period. I could be wrong, but weren’t a certain percentage of these pirates out of work buccaneers? And weren’t buccaneers landsmen as well, originally that is. Again not to say that they all owned boots, but that they could have access to them and worn them when the situation arose.

Is this just a steam punk affair or are pirates welcome as well

Oh please some tell me hoe to upload pics to posts how

Not meaning to sound rude, but I’m not going off of the documentations of an actor in Hollywood make and or style boots. Of course situation dictates the wardrobe and anyone with sense would adjust appropriately. As for swimming, I don’t care how good of a swimmer you are, it would be terribly hard to egg beater for the appropriate amount of time for a rigged ship under sail to turn and pick you up.
