Scupper Posted September 25, 2003 Posted September 25, 2003 What kind of a flask would a pirate or sailor be using? Would it be a 1/2 pint or pint glass bottle? Does anyone know where to get a flask I can use with me outfit. I'm getting tired of caring a quart bottle and having none left for a wee bit of comfort at the end of me journey. I do share and sometimes neglect to hold on to a bit for me. I always give comfort to my fellow scallywags. Scupper "That's the navy for you. Rum in the scuppers today.

Capt Grey Posted September 25, 2003 Posted September 25, 2003 I be thinkin' a bota bag be the right rig to carry fer ye thirst, matey. But I not be as educated in piritical ways or historical accuracy as the fine mates on this here board. Captain, we always knew you were a whoopsie. Rumors of my death are entirely premature.
TalesOfTheSevenSeas Posted September 25, 2003 Posted September 25, 2003 I kinda took historical accuracy to the extreme when it came to drinking... I shelled out way too much money and bought an authentic 18th century lidded pewter drinking tankard that I wear on my belt. -Claire "Poison Quill" Warren Pyrate Mum of Tales of the Seven Seas www.talesofthesevenseas.com
Scupper Posted September 25, 2003 Author Posted September 25, 2003 Aye I have a pewter tankard me self, thought it be a modern reproduction. I be looking for something to transport me rum and whiskey without interfering with me cutlass or piratical activities. Scupper "That's the navy for you. Rum in the scuppers today.

endkaos Posted February 21, 2004 Posted February 21, 2004 Me mate just purchased a large narrow bottle of tequila. As soon as he finished with it, I pirated it for myself. With a nice leather holder, it could hold a quite bit of rum instead of tequila. ~Tori Like any unmanned ship, a novice sailor will eventually steer into the wind and then in circles.

julius27 Posted February 21, 2004 Posted February 21, 2004 I gots a right nice stien from me mates Tom and Pat o' Astral Seas Pewter Foundry. They be makin' wonderful stuff there near Hannibal, Missouri.

endkaos Posted February 21, 2004 Posted February 21, 2004 And what be the name of this find Endkaos? You not be sharing with your mate Scupper? Ahoy Scupper, I took off all the labels and was using it so I had to look high and low for it's name. I found one on Ebay. It is a smooth tequila, but the labels on the bottle obscure the bottle's beauty. Once I figure out how to post a pic I didn't pirate from another site, I will post one of it without the labels. Tequila "CORRALEJO" Reposado 375 ml. Neat ~Tori Like any unmanned ship, a novice sailor will eventually steer into the wind and then in circles.
