Finds at the New Pirate Museum

[Capn Bob]

Pat Croce is moving his Pirate Museum in Key West to a new location, in St. Augustine (he *should* open up a branch in Akron OH, but that seems unlikely...). During the construction work, a few...things...have turned up...

Yeah, someone does need to do something piratey for the inland states. I've toyed with the idea of building a pirate festival on Lake Erie, maybe Kelley's Island.

Keep me updated on how that works...I've been to Kelly's Island before...might be interesting for a bunch of villians, neer-do-wells, and outright pirates take over one of the ferries...

Aye, tis just an idea at this point, but I would love to work something out, I did do a scetch of a map of a village, with a small fort, the idea being that some pirates have set up a camp near the shore to carreen and resupply their ship and spend their plunder in the town, with the garrison and governor being wary. each passing year would have the plot revolve around either historical pirates or fictional pirates from classics like Treasure Island. I've also considerd getting the USS Niagra to take part since it's just a short voyage away in Erie Pennsilvania. But it's sadly only an idea at this point. I am on good terms with the owner of a local renfaire, maybe he could give me a few pointers.

That's the scenario that we used in Key West for FTPI. Seems to have worked out well.
