Jacky Tar Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Tall ships was a grand event indeed! The weather was perfect, and the locals were friendly. The Port Royal Privateers (wit' yers truly in tow) took over the HMS Bounty, on Saturday, wit' out firin' a shot! This grand ship, an her crew, welcomed us wit' open arms. In point o' fact, the second officer kept huggin' us. If all ships were this friendly, pirates would still be sailin' on tall ships! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumba Rue Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Well it certainly wasn't Dana Pt....... With a charge of $10.00 to get on to view the ships was ok, but let's face it, all there were, were food vendors, us and my friend Kathryn across from us selling her 'educational toys'. The Port Royal Privateers were down the street in a dirt lot.... There were several smaller brigs there like the Lynx, Hawaiian Chieftan, the Californian, Irving Johnson (the ship that went aground last year), the Kaisei, Seward and the Curlew, along with the Spirit of Dana Point (was orginally named the Pilgrim 2)and the Bounty, from the movie 'Mutiny on the Bounty' was there. I managed to get on board and took some pictures. Other than that, we all had a great time. We certainly were the center of attention! Lots of people sat down to look/read through the books we offered (yes there's pictures)and many complimented our goal of literacy to us and our photo wench-ranglers, Jackie, Colleen, Jamie, Monica, Sherrie, were having a great time, as were our 'cabin boys', oh and our Capt.Kent too. So many people were just thrilled to see us and Long Tom couldn't talk enough about history to people, and trying to eat in between encounters. It's a shame that this particular event doesn't happen every year, but I'm sure we got enough publicity with interviews, camera filming and such that I have no doubt we will be asked back for other events.

Ransom Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Ummm, Rumba, most of the ships you list as smaller brigs, are actually schooners. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold... You can do everything right, strictly according to procedure, on the ocean, and it'll still kill you. But if you're a good navigator, a least you'll know where you were when you died.......From The Ship Killer by Justin Scott.

Rumba Rue Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Brigs, schooners, row boats, I figure it floats, regardless of what they might actually be....never claimed to know one ship of the line from another, course it depends on what I've been drinking.....
