JohnnyTarr Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 With all of you out there I suspect that you have found some interesting things on the web and elsewhere. I am interested in finding out what you thought was the most interesting thing that you found. Git up of your asses, set up those glasses I'm drinking this place dry.

hurricane Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Ah, that's easy. I picked up a piece of clay pipe that was lying near Fort Charles in Port Royal. Just sitting there after 330 years. I like to think that some buccaneer was smoking it at the time of the great earthquake. -- Hurricane -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.

Rummy3 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I found a great book yest yesterday. It is a pyratical journal - much like a scrap book. The combination of notes, clippings, illustrations and even a bit of mystery all contribute to a simply wonderful coffee-table book. Check it out! (There is even a contest there that involves a little decoding of a treasure map!) :) Pirateology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyTarr Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share Posted August 11, 2006 This is great. A clay pipe piece 330 years old and Grenadoe are great finds. I love the Pirateolgy book I got one for my birthday. I even spent the time to translate the map. Please keep them comming I am finding this thread very interesting.

Hester Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Wow! That's priceless. If I had one of those, I wouldn't always be procrastinating about cleaning the bathroom! Cheers, Hester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorganTyre Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Some time ago I came across a site with a scan of a period gunnery manual. I've since lost the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Pete Straw Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 My wife has vetoed my intended purchase of the Skull Toilet Brush. The appropriate thing to say to this is "crap" but I have nothing to clean it up with. * * * * * * * * * * I, too, presumed you implied "What was the most interesting thing that you found and purchased?" While I probably have a whole host of answers to this question, just two days ago I acquired a "Sailmaker's Palm" (essentially a thimble, but for pushing huge needles through impenetrable canvas). Here is a picture of one just like mine: Sure, this is certainly more nautical than purely piratical, and I have far more prized piratical possessions, but this certainly fulfills my own definition of "interesting." "He's a Pirate dancer, He dances for money, Any old dollar will do... "He's a pirate dancer, His dances are funny... 'Cuz he's only got one shoe! Ahhrrr!"
