blackjohn Posted November 4, 2005 Author Share Posted November 4, 2005 Well, I always think of that scene from Treasure Island with Heston, the scene where he's saying "when I'm in my coach riding to parliament..." yada yada.

Gentleman of Fortune Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I think that we need a sticky topic of Links for 17th/18th Century. I have a favorites file full of them, and John Has been collecting them since he bought his Commodore 64! So, here is the challenge. Send in your cool Links with a short description. Yeah, it might take a bit longer to clean it up, but maybe we could categorize them so they would be easier to search. Here is an example of what I mean Catagories: 17th/18th Century Groups: GROUP- http://www.piratebrethren.com/ Authentic Pirate Re-enactment GROUP on the East Coast GROUP- http://www.petrobrigada.ru/peter/gallery/gallery_e.htm Russian re-enactment group portraying soldiers of Peter The Greats Army Period Weapons (Info and Sources) INFO- http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Vault/1945.../Guns/Locks.htm Information on Early Firearm Locks SOURCE- http://www.earlyrusticarms.com/gungallery.htm Maker of reproduction Firearms Period Clothing (Info and Sources) INFO- www.gentlemenoffortune.com Good information source for Authentic Pirate clothing and Equipment Museums and Extant Examples MUSEUM- http://www.manchestergalleries.org/html/co...collection.html Extant clothing of all periods Ships: SHIP-http://www.kalmarnyckel.org/ Replica 17th Century Sweedish ship out of Delaware Pirate Biographies BIO-http://www.privateerdragons.org/pirates_famous.html Great alphabetical listing of Pirates and when they were active General Info for 17th/18th Centuries INFO-http://www.geocities.com/livinghistoryresources/ General resources for 18th Century You get the idea GoF Come aboard my pirate re-enacting site http://www.gentlemenoffortune.com/ Where you will find lots of information on building your authentic Pirate Impression!
