JohnnyTarr Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Ok all you pirates. As I am new to these waters I am hoping for some help. I am looking for pirate related web sites. There are just too many on google to wade through. I am looking for loot, reenacting, ships, history, and just about anything. Care to help someone with a few new charts for these waters? Git up of your asses, set up those glasses I'm drinking this place dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackjohn Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 When you say re-enacting, do you mean re-enacting, or being a costumed entertainer? If you mean re-enacting, as in a certain level (ie, high) of dedication to historical accuracy, you should check out GoF's site and Kass' site. 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...
JohnnyTarr Posted July 7, 2006 Author Share Posted July 7, 2006 When I say re-enatcting I am thinking research dedication and education. If I can do that while being an entertainer great. The problem with entertaining is I never seem to have time to find such entertainers nor do I know of any entertainers in my area that would be willing to take a 35 yr old newbie. Thx for the start on the sites. I will check them out promptly. Git up of your asses, set up those glasses I'm drinking this place dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackjohn Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Cool. There is a tendency around here to use the term "re-enactor" very loosely. That's why I asked. Obviously, different schools of thought will point you in different directions. Ed Foxe's site may also be helpful to you, though I don't have the url handy. If you go down to Capt Twill you'll find his posts with links to his sites. My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.

Themarko Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Here's a link to the Pirate webring, lots of good pirate stuff there. A few have way to many pop ups so have your blocker armed and standing by to repel the boarders. http://www.ringsurf.com/netring?ring=pirat...te;action=index Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbies don't frighten us one bit. Besides, we would love to take ye under our wing and keep ye from running about in bucket top boots... A number of us are located in Wisconsin. Actually we have crew members based pretty much mid-west as well as east coast, PA, VA, NY, IL. Many of us are "old" to reenacting but, some, fairly new to GAoP. As far as dedication to "getting it right" it is our main goal... we've gotten high marks from Kass McGann, bless her twisted little self, but we also make it another goal to entertain as well as educate... and just plain have fun!! If you would be interested give us an email....
