Milamber Posted February 6, 2004 Posted February 6, 2004 Does anyone know any pirate historians who would be willing to answer a short 5 question interview via e-mail for a school student?
Serendipity Posted February 6, 2004 Posted February 6, 2004 A good number of people on this board probably know more about pirates then your average historian. If I were you, I'd ask the questions here and see what sort of answers you get.
JoshuaRed Posted February 6, 2004 Posted February 6, 2004 Yeah, post the 5 questions here, we'd be happy to help if we can. Like many of the fine folks here, I've got a LARGE collection of literature on piracy, from contemporary sources going back to the 17th century, up to the newest stuff.
imadrunkenpirate Posted February 6, 2004 Posted February 6, 2004 Well.. ye can watch POTC (the second CD disk) fer some historian interviews.. it aint be live, but they might answer some of yer questions while they be talking. Good Luck! Cabinlass Maggie It'll be the rope's end for that one, me bucko.
Red Maria Posted February 6, 2004 Posted February 6, 2004 There is actually at least one well-known pirate historian on this list who uses a Nom de Plume on here. I'll let him know. What level of school is this for? There is at least one other person I know who could give you a hand.
Deacon Frye Posted February 7, 2004 Posted February 7, 2004 You might try Marcus Rediker at University of Pittsburgh: http://www.pitt.edu/~pitthist/fac-rediker.html He's the author of The Many-Headed Hydra and Between the Devil and the Deep-Blue Sea. He also has Villains of All Nations: Atlantic Pirates in the Golden Age coming out this spring. Mind you, he is coming from a Marxist agenda, but this could make for some interesting answers. He also has contact info at his own website: http://www.marcusrediker.com/ Oh, by the way, you've got my curiosity up. Would you care to share the five questions so we can play historian?
corsair2k3 Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 Greetings, If you go to www.whydah.com and use their support email, you can reach their project historian. He is generally pretty prompt in answering students' questions about pirates. Regards, The Corsair
Milamber Posted February 11, 2004 Author Posted February 11, 2004 this is for a competition where i am presenting a a individual performance on piracy in the late 17th century to the early 18th. i am in 8th grade and much a pirate fan( quite like cabinlass Maggie) so i am in need of primary sources and great secondary sources and such. A big theing i am in need of is a realistic costume. i am a fair hand with a needle and thread (all the boys in my fam. know how to sew since my mother is a semstress) so i just need help on some general ideas on which i can build... anything would be helpful, primary or secondary sources or anytype of other information. if you have stuff(anywhere from pictures of maps to letters to links to websites) please email as much as you can to me at milamber@adelphia.net thankz. Milamber.
Longarm Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 Greetings,If you go to www.whydah.com and use their support email, you can reach their project historian. He is generally pretty prompt in answering students' questions about pirates. Regards, The Corsair If Barry Clifford of the Whydah can't help you his historian Ken Kinkor can but you'll have to go through Barry to reach him because I can't find an e-mail address for him in any of Cliffords books. Good Luck Lass. I love the smell of gunpowder in the morning. To me it smells like....PIRACY!
corsair2k3 Posted February 12, 2004 Posted February 12, 2004 Greetings, I've always been in touch with him through the Whydah site. He's an untrusting sort who doesn't put his addy on the Net any more. Regards, The Corsair
