Gentleman of Fortune Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Lusting for gold and bloodthirsty to a man, pirates have held widespread appeal and interest for centuries, passing from fact into a shadowy, myth-like status. Lawless and stinking of rum, pirates became the scourge of the seven seas in the early 1700s by the terror they spread and the treasure they stole. Yet, these legendary sea dog scalawags have been romanticized and idealized in countless books, movies and festivals. But who were the real pirates? Now, a new exhibit at the museum shows the authentic world of 17th and 18th century pirates. http://www.publicmuseum.oshkosh.net/Exhibi...es/pirates.html Come aboard my pirate re-enacting site http://www.gentlemenoffortune.com/ Where you will find lots of information on building your authentic Pirate Impression!

blackjohn Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Someone posted this some time back, as I recall. I'm wondering now, as then, if this is a traveling exhibit, and if so, if it's the one I saw in Philly about 5 years ago...??? My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
