Ahoy, goode shipmates all! I be William MacArthur, the SCA's Patron for the Loyal Guild of St. Erasmus in the Kingdom of Meridies, and Captain of the Seadogges, an Elizabethan virtual vessel.
I'm interested in corresponding with anyone, on or off list, on any of the following topics: medieval / renaissance nautical matters; pirates of any historical era; nautical weapons of any sort; and at this point, I'd be especially interested in hearing from any Baratarians!
Also: anyone who will be with the SCA for Gulf Wars in March, please note that our theme this year is The Vikings Are Coming! We will have mock ship battles (heavy / combat archery, and rapier), Viking themed classes all day Thursday, followed by a party, and a Viking archery event on Saturday.
Yours in the Brotherhood,
William
