Billy Longblades Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 http://www.delawareonline.com/apps/pbcs.dl...D=2006611110335 Captain Hiott was a walking encyclopedia of nautical knowledge and loved to share that knowledge with anyone interested. The man was an expert sailor and fisherman. The sea won't be the same without him.

Barbados Sam Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 "There be the chest, inside be the gold, we took them all. Spent them and traded them. We frittered them away on drink and food and pleasurable company. The more we gave them away, the more we came to realize... the drink would not satisfy, food turned to ash in our mouths, and all the pleasurable company in the world could not slake our lust. We are cursed men....Compelled by greed we were, and now we are consumed by it."
Red Cat Jenny Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 The spirits of your fathers Shall start from every wave, For the deck it was their field of fame, And ocean was their grave: Like mighty eagle soaring light O'er antelopes on Alpine height. The anchor heaves, the ship swings free, The sails swell full. To sea, to sea! Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.... Her reputation was her livelihood. I'm a pirate, love. By nature and by choice! My inner voice sometimes has an accent! My wont? A delicious rip in time...

Matusalem Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 I've only seen the Kalmar Nickel once, and took interest in crewing square riggers last year upon being aware of such programs as the Sultana, and the above said ship. 'tis unfortunate that I will not have such opportunity to meet Cap't Hiott, which you all speak so highly of. I go through Delaware so frequently. My condolences, nonetheless.
