Rosalinda Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 I have some antique maps of the UK and Ireland. But they're not nautical... obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkyns Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 Got a number of repro maps, mostly caribbean 16th and 17th C. Picked up a copy of Blaue's atlas a couple of years ago. Also found a copy of Basil Ringrose's South Sea Waggoner. Love looking at these. The artwork in the margins is tremendous and the detail is fantastic. Hawkyns Cannon add dignity to what otherwise would be merely an ugly brawl I do what I do for my own reasons. I do not require anyone to follow me. I do not require society's approval for my actions or beliefs. if I am to be judged, let me be judged in the pure light of history, not the harsh glare of modern trends.

captweaver65 Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 I have a great book; "how they saw the new world" by ernest and johanna lehner. it is nothing but reproductions of woodcuts and engravings of maps and newly discovered people,plants,animals and such. there is also a kool collection of portraits and signatures of explorers.

Scupper Posted October 1, 2003 Author Share Posted October 1, 2003 I am starting a colection of pirate related bottles. Whether they be beer, ale or liquir. I'm even colecting spices or condiments. I also have some old bottles as well as reproductions to use in me re enacting Scupper "That's the navy for you. Rum in the scuppers today.

capnwilliam Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 Bottle collecting sounds interesting; besides the beauty of the bottles, and the lure of hunting down sought-after pieces, you'd also have the added attraction of being able to use them as pyratical props! An expensive hobby, be it? Capt. William "The fight's not over while there's a shot in the locker!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. William there are beautiful bottles in all price ranges. the older hand blown bottles can be VERY expensive. but every once in a while a good one shows up at the good will or at a garage sale. found a reall pretty one that was hand blown into a mold.
