Dutchman Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 capn' its a fascinating history. i can't wait to see your research at the festival. the outline we have going should work out pretty well. hey- can you pm a headcount to me and how many militia will be en-tow from your group.
Captain of the 'REVENGE' Posted April 29, 2008 Author Posted April 29, 2008 Edited for firing one well over the heads of the crowd, as it were....Aye "Meet my Raven, his name is 'Death', and he's hungry"
Dutchman Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 not sure capn' revenge. if someone can make a periodly correct connection we'll look into it. in the mean time- 30 DAYS BEFORE WE START SETTING UP!!!!! Reading Royalistes post, she's looking beautiful and ready to strut her stuff. I brought back one of the small boat contracts yesterday and crews are spiffying up their toys and gear. Heck, even we are mending some old canvas and will hopefully have the new old girl up. Its shaping up to be a great year.
Capt. Sterling Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 My most humble apologies... my crew, has a tendency to try and take in all of the time frame of the GAoP not just the mariners side of it... circa 1705-06 Grace Sherwood is being accused of witchcraft and called to trial right down the road in Williamsburg. Given the superstitions of the time, the average joe living in the area might have heard about and taken an interest in such proceedings especially since Salem, in 1692 didn't happen that long ago and is still in the time frame of the GAoP.

Dutchman Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 noted capn' no worries. we all enjoy differnt aspects of history. lets just tackle on historical quirk at a time. hows the planning going for archangel folks? the other crews are gearing up as well. from what i understand there are some new things coming from marketfair.
Capt. Sterling Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 Ahoy Blackbeard's Crew... not looking at a map or being familiar with that neck of the woods, I do hope one and all are safe and sound after the three tornadoes... Chime in when you can and how does this, if at all, affect the festival? Hope all is well!!

Cap'nPern Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 No effect on the Festival all the damage is south of the James River. Contacts over there say it's a mess and require massive cleanup but no fatalities.
Silkie McDonough Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 Okay ...bought a ticket to the ball. Now ...what to wear what to wear?
