For over 12 years Chris Suttle has portrayed Blackbeard for Teach's Hole Pirate Musuem, The Gold Coast Pirate Festival, The Turner Networks Liar and Legends and school groups across the East Coast. As Capt Scurvy he as gathered the most unique acts for his group called Capt Scurvys Carnival of Sensless Debauchery. Also the founder of the Fraternal Order of Rakish Deviants. While his antics have been quiet over the past year due to multiple surgeries he has bounced back, new hip and new back and continues to pass on his skills in swordfighting and combat. He can also be seen coming to the aid of fellow pirates without being asked (Bailing out the longboat for Dutch, helping Capt Sterling with gun demos in Marcus Hook PA and donating a treasure chest for a skit the same day since they couldn't find one) He works as a pirate entertainer full time and donates at least 30% of his profits to the National Autism Society from each event.

A charming but devilishly deviant rouge who will give you the shirt of his back and his last glass of rum with no strings attached because he can always charm himself into more plunder. The Golden Tounged Pirate, Blue Eyed Devil and Master of Aquisitions are just a few of his nicknames, there are plenty others not repeatable in mixed company and he is always looking for a way to gain a new title. Friend to Cascabell as well who remembers the days of chasing chickens in Key West and working the guns on the HMS Wolf. Capt. Scurvy has scattered himself across the pirate community leaving a lasting imression everywhere he goes and hopes his next destination will be here amongst the Order...

[Captain McCool]

Alright, I'll throw in my lot as well!

I may not be very prominent on the national pirate scene as of yet, but I am attempting to carve out a niche for myself where I can. I am the captain of a small but successful pirate crew here in Colorado (www.piratesofillrepute.org), and I am one of the co-founders of the Sunken Bones Society - a 501c3 pending nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness for nautical causes and charities (www.sunkenbones.com). Along with the rest of the Sunken Bones crew, I am one of the organizers of what we call the "Buccaneer Bash." The Bash is a huge Talk Like a Pirate Day celebration in Denver, and by far the largest strictly pirate themed event in the state of Colorado. This year, we of the Sunken Bones society are fueling the fire, and are expanding the Buccaneer Bash into Colorado's first EVER pirate convention, called BrethrenCon (www.brethrencon.com). We hope that in time this will become one of the nation's premier pirate events. Being so far from any coast, it is a perfect neutral ground for a meeting of pirates from every ocean. For now, though, it's still the biggest, best pirate event in the state of Colorado.

By my own admission, I am a bandwagon hopper, and only really discovered the Pirate's Life when a certain Disney film was released in 2003. That year I became one of the first people in the nation to don dreadlocks and eye-makeup, and begin staggering around making my presence known. I spent 4 wonderful seasons entertaining at the Colorado Renaissance Festival in this capacity, and during this time I developed a keen interest in the history of piracy. It was then that began to branch out and create my own original pirate persona, and I decided to put together my own crew, as mentioned above. The Pirates of Ill Repute have been sailin' the high plains since 2007, and we've never looked back! Despite being landlocked, I have grown a strong love of all things nautical and piratical, and I am a big supporter of "the Brethren of the Plains" - that being, the collective pirate brethren living in and around the Great Plains and Rocky Mountains.

For your consideration!

Captain Jack McCool,

Landlocked Pirate Extraordinaire, and Captain of the Dreaded Prairie Schooner Ill Repute

WE HAVE OUR EYE ONE YOU!

[Leatherback]

Aye Talderoy, I be interested.

Capt. Leatherback

[renegaderaven]

It is the unanimous decision of our crew and many others that we would like to nominate Captain Christopher Youngblood of the Cutthroat Titan crew in Georgia into the Order of Leviathan! (www.cutthroattitan.com)

Captain Youngblood is a historian (history major in his last year of college). He is also a pirate re-enactor, an officer/co-organizer for the Southern Pirate Festival, organizer and co-founder of the Dead Buccaneers' Ball, events board member of the National Civil War Naval Museum at Port Columbus, GA, associate member of the St. Augustine Swashbucklers, and amazingly talented artist. He has begun doing many pirate drawings of notable pirates in the U.S. just recently, and has started his new business, www.piraticalportrayals.com. Captain Youngblood is also featured and a published artist for the covers of Southern Farm and Livestock directory (farm art) and has a children's novel that was illustrated by him that can be bought at amazon.com and Barnes & Noble stores. The novel is called The Night Watchers, and the author is Sheila Rice. Chris also co-owns an "at-home" business with his wife of which he paints, draws, and creates cartoons/logos/tattoos for commission. The website is www.heart-to-hands.com.

Captain Youngblood, along with meself, has just recently been employed by a pirate themed restaurant to be the weekly entertainment for the customers, which includes a bit of acting, playing games with the children, entertaining at birthdays, crab race announcements, pirate event coordination, advertising, and so forth. Recently at the restaurant, we helped raise over $1500 in 2 hours for a child dealing with leukemia. We were fortunate enough to have Bloody Sam Rackham and Calico Ann with us.

In the "pirate world," Captain Youngblood is a fierce and respected captain of a small crew of re-enactors, and is also dedicated and loyal to his friends. Each year, he, along with our crew, organizes a buccaneer ball to help fellow pirates get their names out into the community, whether it be for business purposes, or just to be known. This is also why Captain Youngblood has begun his pirate art of "famous" pirates, so that their faces and names can be more recognizable. He is always giving, never doing anything for his own benefit. His artwork has been solely for the joy of it up until recently when so many pirates convinced him to go into the pirate cartoon business. While his real character would make him a terrible pirate, it makes him an extraordinary person, and this is what warrants him way beyond perfect to be one of the Order of Leviathan for 2011.

We hope the world will see Captain Youngblood the way we do!!

[Dutchman]

I nominate cousin robbie

[Ransom]

I would like to put forward the name of Poison Quill.

She is the creator of the pirate crewe Tales of the Seven Seas. She has been instrumental in getting the crewe participating in charity events, parades, along with the usual pirate events. She is always eager and willing to help newbies, and do whatever it takes to help them join into the fun of reenacting. She is a selfless, hardworking leader, and is currently fighting breast cancer, while still helping organize our crewe's participation in the upcoming NorCal pirate festival. She also created the Tales web site, which is why you don't see her on the Pub much.

A most deserving nominee, IMHO.

[Pew]

I'd like to nominate William Red Wake.

A simple search of his posts here alone would merit a nomination, as well as the tireless efforts he has put into organizing those from the Pub at PiP and creating those works of art we wave proudly above our vessels.

[Captain Midnight]

Hmmmm...I see so many deserving names already listed here, this is going to be a hard contest. That being said, however, I must cast my official vote and nomination for Bloody Sam Rackham of The Cursed Few. Bloody Sam is a "go getter" pirate, always there and willing to lend a hand when others need him. He never backs down from any task and is an aggressive, adept leader. Bloody Sam is very active in the pirate community, and has done much in the way of charity, such as helping raise money for cancer research by participating in the St. Augustine Duck Race, and Give Kids The World charity. He is the co-commander of The Cursed Few, and is involved in the planning and organization of the Southern Pirate Festival to be held in October. On top of all of these accomplishments, Bloody Sam is first and foremost a loyal friend and brother, not only to me, but to anyone he calls friend. Aye, this is my official vote.

[1stMate Matt]

So many grand nominations so far. Oderless and Maddogge are at the top of my lists.

There are just a ton of worthy pirates that make port here at the pub.

[William Brand]

I'd like to nominate William Red Wake.

Thank you, good sir. Rest assured, the nomination spread an unexpected smile across my face. It has been my pleasure to serve both for and with you. If a nod in kind is not remiss, I return the favor and my respect to Captain Pew, who along with Captain Lasseter and Captain Jim, share equal yet uniquely individual places of honor among the throng. Captains all and worthy of the title, every one.

[renegaderaven]

I concur! Perhaps the ladies need their own contest even! There are too many people notable of this award. :-)
