it's more 18th century, but I hope they help

Just for the record, we did win the next year

actually it might not come back again (I will keep you posted) , but we are planning a pirate festival for buffalo when and if the tall ships come to port there. again, I will keep u posted

The Headscarf:

Something I found in some plunder. When you look real close to it you will notice that it is printed with chickens! The reason this appealed to me is that my life was saved by chickens once, as I lived off their eggs for a week when I was ship wrecked after our crew was defeated by a Spanish frigate. I named the chickens Cherry and Mahogany and kept them as pets. Eventually Cherry was killed by some unknown varmint and Mahogany is deaf from cannon fire and does sign language with her claw. (And by the way that frigate got what was coming to them afterward)

The Sword:

It was a gift from the man who taught me how to swordfight. After my ship issued sword broke in the middle of a battle, I managed to defeat the attacker who I broke it on by hitting him with the pommel of the sword. Cutlass Adams saw this and glared at me. (not sure what he didn't like about that) So seeing how he acquired a new one that was better balanced from a pair of pirates he had just met, (along with a strange goldish pendant that was suppose to protect him from cannon failure) gave me his old one. He had once defeated 6 opponents with one swing, and that was the sword he did it with!

okay so when I put my pirate uniform together, I decided to write a story about each piece of it, to kind of give the character more depth. So, here I go

2 harleys, (one adorned with pirate skulls, guess which one is mine?) a riding lawn mower, a figurehead for a viking ship, a tiller for a race boat we made, 5 bicycles, a whole mess of tools, a refrigerator full of cold ones, and a small horse.

Does the horse know how to open the fridge yet?

Bo

No, he knows how to open the feed bin just fine though in the rare moments he sneaks out, but I'm still trying to get him away from the harleys.

Hello Sara! For pirate inspiration the pub is abundant, I've consulted the articles and people available here many times. Do you have a youtube channel?

Mission makes a good point, It never made sense to me the way they portray Port Royale or Tortuga in POTC! Shoudn't it be Kingston and New Providence?

MY big question is this, what tall ships were portraying the ships in the movie? And by the way, is there a page thats lists the ship casted in movies? thought that would be cool

pardon me but what do they refer as servants?

yeh me too!

Here it is for anyone with the time and determination!! it's being filmed apparently in australia

dang I didn't even get to watch it!

Okay I got a couple of questions... is it unheard of to make a ship with hemlock or is that just stupid? if it isn't then what parts could be made with it?

Thanks to you I think we FINALLY found our niche in the pirate festival/reenactment world. I think our historical camp is going to grow in size next year!

If you read the novel "On Stranger Tides" you discover that Blackbeard planned his death only to return to life in another body.

thanks I just bought it at a dollar store today!

LOL yeh we got stuck on the buoy rope on the turn before we let out our sail, we had it fixed so that when we got to the last leg (in which we had the wind to our backs) we could untie it and have the wind help us, and then too the rudder kinda confused my daughter so she accidentally steered us the wrong way off the start (due to lack of practice on our part) but once we were in the wind that sucker moved! even in the picture with the boat on the trailor the sail was still trying to push it, and it weighed like 500 pounds, and the weight of us made it too deep. so yeh, we lost but it was a heck of a good time for us and the kids, and we got on the front page of the city paper and they also interviewed me for the first time, in which they mentioned that I was talking in a matching accent (just my pirate accent)

okay it didn't work but that is a link to the gallery

well it only took me a year to figure out how to post this but here you go finally! I'm the one with the red beard and fur, and I also made the figure head by carving it and woodburning it and I also made all the sheilds. that's my daughter you can barely see working the tiller

you have no idea how valuable that info you just gave is to me, but my question above still stands, as he was hung on a French island, (as far as I know) did they use the method of the french executioner hanging the other end? in the case of so many and the stage thing I would think not

So by the french method, would French settled islands be accustomed to that practice? (such as possibly reunion, or french Caribbean islands?)

yes that is exactly what I was asking for
