TalesOfTheSevenSeas Posted September 2, 2003 Posted September 2, 2003 I would suggest you contact the organizers of the Blackbeard Festival in Hampton VA. They have a couple of ships do a sea battle for the festival every year. I do not know who owns the ships. Hampton Blackbeard Festival It looks like the site is being updated... you might have to give it a few days. -Claire "Poison Quill" Warren Pyrate Mum of Tales of the Seven Seas www.talesofthesevenseas.com

Help... Mad Mary, I was down there a few years back, and spoke to one of the captains. It was my impression that they did take them out for the occasional sail. They're fully Coast-Guard compliant, with diesel engines, etc. Here's some info on volunteering which states that volunteers help maintain and sail the ships: http://www.historyisfun.org/supportus/support.cfm
