And here I thought you were calling for me.

Now that is a great video. Legends come to life.

Ok now if this is what was expected what about those that were pressed into service. Did they just go on account or was there stuff givven to them?

It is too bad that I know of no one recently that has ever seen a live one. I hear that once in a while fishing vessels will pull up a good sized squid. But the only Giant Squids to date that I know of are ones that have died and been washed up on shore. Just my two pence worth.

That is the site I found ONCE before. I had it bookmarked and everything. Then I got broadsidded with a virus and I had to reformat. Now between that and the probates I can start on my history. Man this is fun.

I never even knew about probates. That is alot of good information. I have no idea what I am going to do with the information but I know that I wanted just that. Thx you all for your time and knowledge.

Ok Now this is going to get fun. Thx for the info I am going to be spending alot of time on those probate sites. I have no idea what I am going to use it for yet but I just needed to know. :)

I see that you and I are looking for the same thing, kind of. I was looking for what you could get for those coins. I have not had much luck as of yet. Hope you do better.

Well let's stay within the GAoP, so let's say 1699.

Ok my share of the loot come to 100 pieces of eight, one thumnail sized gem, and a cutlass. Now we have come into port. What can I expect to get for how much? Interested in anything from rum to the price of a woman. Unless there is a good looking pirate lass that wants to join with me for a few hours .

Now I am guessing that most sailors started in Europe. If you signed up to be a sailor, what would you be expected to bring?

Vodka on the rocks, Guiness, Strongbow, Woodchuck, Anything anyone else buys.

Thx for the post. I will have to keep my eye on this. I live just a few hours north so I would hate to miss this.

The woman that you have been looking at down the bar walks up to you and says, " I would like to by you a drink then take you back to my place."

When I say re-enatcting I am thinking research dedication and education. If I can do that while being an entertainer great. The problem with entertaining is I never seem to have time to find such entertainers nor do I know of any entertainers in my area that would be willing to take a 35 yr old newbie. Thx for the start on the sites. I will check them out promptly.

Just wondering, if you wanted to start plans on a real pirate bar what would you name it? I was thinking A Pyrat Pairadice. And no those aren't spelling mistakes.

Ok all you pirates. As I am new to these waters I am hoping for some help. I am looking for pirate related web sites. There are just too many on google to wade through. I am looking for loot, reenacting, ships, history, and just about anything. Care to help someone with a few new charts for these waters?
