From the album: Marooned!
I washed ashore the following afternoon with little more than my clothing. During the dawn I had managed to find some island debris to cling to. No weapons, no tools, no supplies and most important no rum! -

From the album: Marooned!
The Portobello Rose went north to resupply amid the Turks and Caicos. I choose a southerly route so as not to engage the Spanish of San Juan. The crew turned to mutiny in the Mona Passage and I was cast overboard at night. My only hope an unknown island on the horizon. I was castaway. -

I’d like to say that it began after the capture of the coastal barque we took off St. Thomas. Truthfully it began when Wycked Jack made me captain of the Portobello Rose. Jack would have never fallen into the trap I did. Mutiny was my reward. I had Mister Llewellyn and Remy take the new barque to Old Town on the Isle of Montserrat. Her cargo hold was full of casks of molasses which would fetch a good price when the Spicers sold it. The barque’s crew I pressed into service aboard the Portobello Rose, my first mistake of many. -
Mission are you saying that you want attention?

What about those pirates (or pirate hunters like Kidd) who sailed off the eastern coast of Africa attempting to capture Mogul ships making the haj to Mecca? Might they take a Middle Eastern weapon or two (how about those lovely pearl covered muskets)??

Anyone make any cockades or rosettes they would like to share? I'm curious and would like to make my own but I'm not certain where to start...

Captain McCool did you contact any vendors directly (McKay might be helpful) and ask them which events could provide you with the most sales? Another thought might be to contact the crew of "No Quarter Given" magazine. Jamaica Rose may not reply right away but she could point you in the right place (and her magazine might be a good vehicle for your Castaway company). Just some ideas from my rum soaked head...

I was just reading something about Newton and it suggested that he constructed a set of glasses with colored lens to see light break into the spectrum. I believe it was gold colored lens and the wearer saw everything with a blue haze.

I think Drake had an astrolabe. Foxe can you address this?

Who might I see at the 2012 Port Washington Pirate Festival? http://www.portpiratefestival.com/

I seem to recall seeing a depiction of a group of slaves chained together and tethered to a heavy object forced over the side of a ship. The slaves were alive at the time. The reason behind this cruel event I do not remember.

One idea you might consider is going in with another merchant on space at a larger event. Perhaps contacting a few merchants who sell pirate items (but different from castaway) might be an idea?
-
I've noticed that a few Pirate events post an application for vendors. Might that be a first line of attack for you gents?

Great tales gentlemen!
