TalesOfTheSevenSeas Posted March 16, 2004 Posted March 16, 2004 Check this out mates, some folks in Florida saw our photos of the Land Shark and decided to creat their own pirate ship parade float modeled after her! Take at look at the Blood Lily at the link below, I think you'll see a lot of family traits from her 'mother' the Land Shark!! ...Gads!!! I think this means I'm the GRANDMOTHER of a pirate ship!!! Guess I'd better start carrying ship photos in my pocket book when I go play bridge!!! LOL Click to see the Blood Lily -Claire "Poison Quill" Warren Pyrate Mum of Tales of the Seven Seas www.talesofthesevenseas.com
Selestia Posted March 16, 2004 Posted March 16, 2004 Imitation is supposed to be the sincerest form of flattery. The Land Shark has an extremely high degree of creativity and piratical elegance. As with any such labor of love.... it may be copied but never duplicated! I can see it now... when others are pulling out their photos of little moptops.....Claire will be flashing photos of the Land Shark with Jeff and Ded Fred on board! ~Selestia~ First Wench Pyrates Of the Eastern Sea Email - pyratesoftheeasternsea@usa.com Website - Pyrates Of The Eastern Sea Pirate Reenactor - Tales Of The Seven Seas website - Tales Of The Seven Seas ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wildest dream come true ~or~ worst nightmare realized.... the choice is NOT yours.... it all depends on which mood I'm in .... and.... how much rum there is to drink! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Iron Bess Posted March 16, 2004 Posted March 16, 2004 Still... there is only ONE original!!! Huzzah the Land Shark! May she forever float yer boat. Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
TalesOfTheSevenSeas Posted March 16, 2004 Author Posted March 16, 2004 Yeah I really got a kick out of it. I think that it's great that someone was inspired to make their own float based on what we did. I hope there will be a whole fleet of Land Sharks some day!!! -Claire "Poison Quill" Warren Pyrate Mum of Tales of the Seven Seas www.talesofthesevenseas.com
Black Hearted Pearl Posted March 16, 2004 Posted March 16, 2004 I'm dreaming on my own Land Shark. Just like the one at "Tales of the Seven Seas". I would sail it swiftly, in the APS Light parade. And ask all my pirate friends to come along. Oh, I'm dreaming on my own Land Shark. Just wish I could get Hubby to go along. It would be so pretty but not as good as the original but soon the Land Shark would be, the flag ship of the fleet. sung to tune of "White Christmas" APS = Arizona Public Service ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind. The realist adjusts the sails.
King's Pyrate Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 Yeah I really got a kick out of it. I think that it's great that someone was inspired to make their own float based on what we did. I hope there will be a whole fleet of Land Sharks some day!!! I were gonna make a 30 footer, stationary ship/deck in me yard but me 1st mate won't give up her rose garden.....drat! I can just see it now....
