Tudor MercWench Smith Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 'ello all! I'm looking for a little trinket to give to a pirate I know before he leaves port. Historically, what would a lass give to her favourite pirate to bring him good luck and saftey on his travels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tudor MercWench Smith Posted December 2, 2004 Author Share Posted December 2, 2004 I think I'd prefer him NOT to look like a skeleton . . . although, he would be immortal if anyone decides they want to run him through . . . hmm, worth a ponder that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Jim-sib Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 A scented handkerchief or a pebble from a stream in the home port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Steele Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 You could always give him a St. Christophers medallion to give him hope of safe passage and protection to return to you. St. Christopher is the patron saint for travelers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish_Cavendish Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Tattoos'd be best, but anything involving a pig or a chicken'd do swelly as, according to tradition, them animals are afeared of the water and with them on, yer loper won't drown.

HarborMaster Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Myself .., I still say the Cursed Coin .,Course he will have to sleep with one eye open at all times, as his ship mates will be plotting against him for it. Perhaps a good chain to dangle it from , something like this chain to keep you down I am not Lost .,I am Exploring.

Mission Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 Give him an authentic Spanish coin from Mel Fisher's Atocha salvage. (If you really want to spend some money, that is. You can pick some of them up for about $200- $400. Maybe you can e'en do better on eBay.) Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
