JohnnyTarr Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Ok so I am a reader, I might not be able or know how to do actual research but I read alot. After talking to my wife I have found that she missed the SCA. Now I am a little more open so I did some research and found out about people called Sea Dogs. I also remember seeing some actors at BRF calling themselves that. So now I would like to branch out and read some about them. Any help? Git up of your asses, set up those glasses I'm drinking this place dry.
Red Sea Trade Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 Osprey Publishing sells a nice, short, well-illustrated volume called "Elizabethan Sea Dogs". It is brief, but has a nice cross-section of information and plenty of ideas for costuming. Another book, this one fictional, is called "The Golden Admiral" by F. Van Wyck Mason. I picked up a used hardcover copy in nice condition for a dollar, so the price was right. As I say, it is fictional, but is pretty well-researched and has a nice, "salty" feel to it. Covers Sir Francis Drake's voyages and the Spanish Armada. Red Sea Trade In days of old when ships were bold just like the men that sailed 'em, and if they showed us disrespect we tied 'em up and flailed 'em, often men of low degree and often men of steel, they'd make you walk the plank alone or haul you 'round the keel. --Adam and the Ants
