Name yer ship


Pew

Recommended Posts

Well, 'ere's one about a real Pyrate ship, and the REAL story...Most 'o ye be familiar with this 'ere ship 'o mine, the Royaliste..

Now, the 'skinney'..Royaliste was originally built 'Wandrian II' for a rich-arsed dentist....He fell on hard times and set her on fire, hoping for the insurance cash...the designer took the ship, fixed the burned stuff, and resold her. Several owners later, she was a rotted hulk. The skipper 'afore me rebuilt her from hull up into the wonderful 1755 Tops'l ketch she is now..Altho' 'royaliste' usually refers to the side of King Louis, the real deal is that the former Capts. wife's maiden name , being French-type Quebec 'n all, was 'LeRoi', hence..'le ROYALISTE'...Fast forward, and I'm huntin' three mil. or so to build me next one, a privateer from history named the 'REVENGE'....."Got any spare change?" :ph34r:

:ph34r:

Stand Down, and ye may just live...

Well construction of the Becky Lynn (a pram designed by Jim Michalack (the design's name is piccup)) should begin after Christmas.

My "would be" ship would be dubbed "Blue Thunder." She'd hopefully be lookin somethin' like this:

Yes, I am leaving the pub. I don't know when or if I will come back to this port. I will check in from time to time. Until then:

Like a good pyrate, I've had several ships. I remember me first ship, a lovely vessel she was. The Breaking Wind. And her consort ship, the Flatulant. The world's first gas powered ships, they were. But they were noisy and smelled bad, and to get 'em to go, ye had to pull the captain's finger.

Me next ship had problems.

The Constipation.

Couldn't go.

And the ship after that was the Incontinent, and it had the opposite problem...it couldn't control where it was going.

From there, I had a long stream of mighty vessels:

The Royal Pain

The Flying Fig

The Crying Dutchman

The Raging Queen

The Insipid

The Angry Boil

I'd throw in the Running Sore, but the Pyrates Royale already used that one.

:lol:

Ahhh... I am already lovin' this topic.

Welp, Ladies an' Gents.. here be my vessels of chaos:

the Resurrection

the Saint Elmo's Fire

the Crimson Mourning

and the Death's Head

Other vessel? Perhaps... but not yet.

though I do fancy some vessel from the Pirates constructable card game: the Revenant, Roanoke, Harbringer, HMS Goliath, Black Swan, the Monkey's Paw... plus many others.

Oh, an' one vessel I dare say it's not pirate vessel.. though Spaniards thought it was. Ol' Mendoza replied that it wasn't a pirate ship. The Solaris be a grand vessel indeed!
