Matusalem Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Some of you may be sea salts, some not. Either way, this site is worth a look: Privateer boats
William Brand Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Aye. A very good site indeed. It crops up from time to time in discussions on the Pub at fairly regular intervals. What I would rather is that people would buy me boats just like those at regular intervals.

And at irregular intervals, at times which don't fit into that schedule, I suppose I will accept gifts of the others [grins]. Actually, really want to find a way to convince the Museum to build one of the 1700s Navy Longboats. They are good for the 1800s too, which means we could use it at most any of the reenactment events that we go to...
Matty Bottles Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Which Museum is that? I remember hearing of someone recruiting history students from the local universities to help with labor for the construction of a tall ship. Perhaps the museum could do something like that - make the actual construction a program of some sort. "The time was when ships passing one another at sea backed their topsails and had a 'gam,' and on parting fired guns; but those good old days have gone. People have hardly time nowadays to speak even on the broad ocean, where news is news, and as for a salute of guns, they cannot afford the powder. There are no poetry-enshrined freighters on the sea now; it is a prosy life when we have no time to bid one another good morning." - Capt. Joshua Slocum

My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...
