Lockhouse July 7


Capt. Sterling

Recommended Posts

Is the event still on? And who might be attending?

Here you go, Captain Sterling:

I obtained this information from Black John's site.

July 7, Pirates Invade the Lockhouse, Havre de Grace, MD

A group of pirates lands at a port in Maryland, looking to sell their wares, only to find opposition from local law enforcement.

Era - 1710s

Camp - Trading and raiding party with civilians and coffeehouse

Opposing Forces - yes

So, it does look like it is still on.

the Lockhouse event is twice a year Mr. Hand. July & November.

Try logging in over at the Pirate Brethren's forum again, Captain Sterling. That is where they discuss "Upcoming Events" after all.

Cool....

give me a weeks notification......

Yah right.....

I thought Lockhouse was in November,...... (or there abouts...)

Pat, this thread has been up since June 11....more than ample time!

Seriously though, there is another Lockhouse in November...weekend of the 3-4... Nov. is the one the crew of the Archangel is really aiming at.

Unfortunately with gas prices the way they are this summer, and two big August events up in the northern midwest, moving 30 some odd folks over and down from the midwest for a one day event in July is really pushing it cost wise. Car pooling or not. Hopefully things will be a whole lot better in Nov.. still we are committed to the Nov. event.

(AND hopefully things will be a whole lot better gas wise NEXT summer... it really is putting a damper on travel)

It is also critical that we make the Nov. event as a pre-PiP practice... go over the hangings, swordplay, and tis when I am collecting all the tents, gear etc, of the rest of the crew, since I will be driving down from Virginia and they will be flying in...

so if you can make both Lockhouse, then great.. if you can only make one... the Nov. might be your best bet for meeting lots of folks... either way, Blackjohn will treat ye right. He is a gem of a host.

  • 3 weeks later...

I find myself slightly surprised to say this, but today's Lockhouse event was the best pirate event my group has ever done! More pirates than ever before, more govt forces than ever before, more public than ever before... a tremendous turnout by the public, in fact. The organizer estimated over 1000! Crikey! Because of the turnout, we did more battles than ever before. Four gunfights during the course of the day, in between those, fencing, fencing, fencing.

And... I was so busy, I didn't find time to snap one single pic! Me... the shutterbug! Not one pic!

But I think some other folks snapped a few. If I find any, I'll pass them along.

And now, to bed. Hopefully it won't spin too much from the consumption of rum.

:lol::lol::lol:

ps - fwiw, during events I try to stick to the no camera rule, cameras being one of those things that "bursts the bubble."

Over 1000. Seriously, it could have been less, I don't know. But I do know this, the number of spectators we had for any one battle this time around equaled the entire turnout from last time around.

Fortunately, the site's manager snapped some good shots. For those of you who don't frequent our mail list or forum, here are a couple of pics...

As for where will we be next... Port Deposit for a timeline event/Captain John Smith 400 celebration.

The next BIG event, the colonial plantation at Ridley Creek PA on August 8. I'm hoping this one is going to be a whopper of an event!

Yes, and the weather will be nicer too.

The weather wasn't too bad, considering it was 90ish with very low humidity. I did all but the final battle in full kit. For the last, I stripped down a bit.

Have anything special in mind for us to start working on for Nov?

No, you all travel quite aways, bringing yourselves is fine with me.

Another pic from the final battle... we were ambushed by the militia on the way into town. After that, the scenario became a rolling gunfight. Hence, my only having two cartridges left.
