DeviousDi Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 She was carrying the name Enterprise when she fell into my hands last year. She has been re-fitted and will sail this year as Nefarious Enterprise. She be a speedy 24 footer but rather long in the tooth and sails out of Rheault Bay (near Kenora, Ontario) - freshwater pirates be we . If I can find a crew, she'll sail against the merchant ships on Lake of the Woods. She may not be wood and sail but she be a REAL pirate ship!

Tis a fine vessel with a perfect name. ~Lady B The year that the Great Lakes Medieval Faire had a pirate themed year, where pirates were playing oppasite king Aurther, There was a pirate captain on cast name 'Captain Tiberious Dirk' of the galleon 'Enterprise' and they have puns like that for characters' names every year.

CharityRackham Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Our ship is and will always be The Jade Dragon. Sleek, fast and a growl to not challenge. When the storyline for the BC Renfest began she was a sloop but since that time Charity has taken her Uncle's flagship and renamed it (Challenging the bad luck of renaming a ship) in order to make it hers. The Sussex Rose is no more and her revenge on her uncle is nearer completion. The Jade Dragon is now a Caravel and the original battered old sloop became a fireship.

Dutchman Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Now and then a bit more of Luna's past comes to light. this is part of a letter Scott, the gentleman we bought Luna from, sent me. We knew Luna was a form of his wifes maiden name of Moon, but this is so great to add. Also, this will appear in our next news letter which goes to print on monday with a guest article by the pubs very own Capt. Bo! I wanted to pass on a little info on why I named "Luna". Lt. Commander L. Guy Moon was my father-in-law. He gave me half of the money I needed to buy "Luna", then known as "The Old Girl" . I felt that a name change was in order, but did not want her to revert back to her original name of "Privateer". As a tribute to Guy, I chose his surname. The color scheme that I chose for her was that of a Luna moth. The attached photo was painted in watercolor by Alex Raymond, originator of the Flash Gordon cartoon series and many tribute drawings done of servicemen during WWII. Pops, your grandfather, is probably familiar with them. Guy was a Navy Chaplain during WWII in the South Pacific. He was asked to pose for Raymond while in Philadelphia , while commissioning a newly launched ship. The original watercolor is on display at the National Marine Headquarters , behind the chaplain's desk. We are currently trying to get an official reprint put on display at the Veteran's Memorial Cemetary in Jax, Fl. , where Guy is buried . Keep up the good work on "Luna". We are all so proud [as would be Guy] of the efforts of all of you at CSF, Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 (edited) Well, my best friend and I are going to take a 28ft. pontoon he has been trying to get rid of for three years and disguise it as a small flatboat with cabin and a mast with a square rig, and a big rudder for the lake/river. Ought to be fun. We are mounting a 20 foot jon boat between the pontoons for cargo hold and extra bouyancy too. Shouldn't be able to see any of the aluminum when we get done with it. Using old barn wood and plywod to cover it with. We are calling it Le Farb. Bo I thought I would post a photo of what the flatboat LaFarb will look like when we get it done: Tis is what we are going to try and accomplish. It will be on a pontoon base so we can trailer it easily. Bo Edited April 24, 2011 by Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I'm going to build a rowing scow to go along with it. Period correct all the way back to 17th century, the design hasn't changed muck, and more useable for me here on the lakes and small rivers. Plans are here: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.thecheappages.com/short/sci_am/scow03.gif&imgrefurl=http://www.thecheappages.com/short/sci_am/scow_1876.html&usg=__AK1mN4Eac9d4HWW6xOBVwM_cYnw=&h=205&w=237&sz=9&hl=en&start=54&zoom=1&itbs=1&tbnid=Ei150KgehWNHgM:&tbnh=94&tbnw=109&prev=/images%3Fq%3D18th%2Bscow%2Bboats%26start%3D42%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26gbv%3D2%26ndsp%3D21%26biw%3D1575%26bih%3D980%26tbm%3Disch&ei=hrC0TfTAG8PZ0QHv2PStCQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firethorn Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 My first sailboat, a 1976 Com-Pac 16 I bought off eBay. Named her Floridaze. Since that time we moved up to a Com-Pac 19 called Gypsy Soul and now own a Seaward 22 named Panacea. I sure miss that little 16, I was able to trailer sail that one. Pan has been on the hard the last two summers, no cash for a slip. Floridaze Gypsy Soul Panacea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkey Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Now that be a good question. If'n I had a ship, I'd call her the Bobbie Lou, fer Robert Louis Stevenson, o' course! And it'd be a full-fledg'd Pirate ship, dedicated to all good-hearted Buccaneers everywhere! And o' course, the first thing ye'd see upon enterin' the Cap'n's Quarters would be me favorite Pirate poem: The meeker the man, the more Pirate he, Snug in his armchair, far from the sea, And reason commends his position: He has all o' the fun and none o' the woes, Masters the ladies an' scuttles his foes, And cheats both the noose an' perdition!

Capt Thighbiter Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Our ship is the Hellion, formerly HMS Hellion, but we had a disagreement with the management. She has served us faithfully lo these many years and has taken her share of prizes ( and a few lamp poles too, as anyone who was at Fells Point this year can tell you). Pics can be seen on http://thebrigands.com Pirate music at it's best, from 1650 onwards The Brigands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
