Tudor MercWench Smith Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I was going to name my pirate ship Serenity - just cause of the irony of a pirate ship being called that and all that jazz - but then all this Firefly/Serenity buzz started flying, so that name is rather scrapped.

Dorian Lasseter Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Well now... In my time as a 'commodities relocation expert'.... I seen some interestin' names, such as; Th' Raven Spittle Th' Harms Way (don't get in Harms Way...) Th' Blue Nun And I had th' Knucklebones... So named fer two reasons.... One, I had a knuckle smashed during an engagement, and it was always a toss o' th' knucklebones that I used ta decide th' fate o' whomever my prey was... weather they was to live free, die horribly, live as a servant on m'ship, etc... Had I a ship now... The Compass Rose is taken... My folks had a boat called 'the PackRat'... Possibly, St. Kitt's Galley... Or the like.... Truly, D.

The Doctor Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 My ships, I'm sorry to say, are all virtual (a fancy word for "fake"), so their names don't mean a hill of beans, really. My flagship is typically the Saber's Apollo, named after my oldest Arabian gelding. Currently, that would be a Ship of the Line in "Sid Meier's 'Pirates!'" Undercrewed, but never outgunned; we're going after the Spanish treasure train, and we'll have her! Or, we'll die trying. Time will tell. In Akella's "Pirates of the Caribbean", my flagship is a large gun frigate, the Saber's Apollo, with a war galleon, the Lobo del Mar, as consort and freight. I did have a corvette, the Benita Renee, but she served as a fire ship in a particularly nasty encounter with the French. Woefully ineffective, but visually impressive when she exploded along side a Man of War. Took out the bowsprit and larboard forward three guns, and maybe 10 men from my foe, the fire ship went down taking 150 men with her. C'est la guerre... She bought us time to run. I'll get that Man of War, the Celeste, should she ever show her flag to me. 300+ men will die that day, and damned few will be mine. Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that?

Black Hearted Pearl Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 My ship is christened "Scraping By". For the first time we sailed in Newport Beach, we forgot to check the tide and just "scraped by" under the bridge. We bent the wind index (a true sailor doesn't need one anyway) and then for good measure we drove it through (on a trailer) through a McDonald's, scraping the side of the building..bending the license plate on the trailer (which easily bent back). Hence, she was christened...Scraping By ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind. The realist adjusts the sails.
