capnwilliam Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Aye, mates, Pyrate Con in April is not the only piratical event coming up in New Orleans. January 12 and 13 marks the reenactment of the Battle of New Orleans. Yer historicalpyratical brethren the Baratarians really won that battle for America, and their present-day descendants will be there again this year, and look to be one of the best-represented American groups in attendance! Please come out and see us! Cannon and musket firing, cooking demos and lectures and much more! Capt. William "The fight's not over while there's a shot in the locker!"

CapnJake Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Is there any kind of a web site where we can see more details on this event? Dean Calin (Cap'n Jake) Bounding Main www.boundingmain.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, and they mentioned the Baratarians! I wish they'd shown us rather than the USS Carolina crew in the cannon firing demo photo, though. Bosun Carmina, we will see you and Cathy on January 6 for the final practice before the battle! Capt. William "The fight's not over while there's a shot in the locker!"

StrangeBayPirate Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Spectators such as I enjoyed a glorious Saturday on the banks of the Mississippi River today. Sunny skies with the temp in the 70's. A "well done" goes out to all involved but I must say the Baratarian Cannon Crew was masterful in repelling the Pakenham British advance.

capnwilliam Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 Aye Steven, we did our part for our adopted country! :angry: Bosun Carmina and the Sea Wolf were there Friday night and all day Saturday. The Pyrate Queen and I were there both days, and camped out, and I concur with yer weather report: we certainly had the weather gods on our side! :) Capt.
