SilasTalbot Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 Greetings and a hoist of the tankard to all. Capt. Talbot here...and at least in this incarnation Capt. Talbot has much more rogueish blood than you may think. My home port is Boston, where my most well-known vessel makes port. But I've been known to commandeer others from time to time if it looks to be profitable. I work as a player on the stage and screen, basically making my living wearing tall boots and a sword. A few years ago that began to include roaming the ports of New England as a privateer in the service of the rebellion against the King. And like any good privateer, I'm looking to do more so long as there's profit to be had. This round is on me - here's to getting to know my fellow sea-wolves hereabouts. S. Talbot
Captain Jim Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 Welcome aboard, Mister Talbot. Capt. James Warren's me name, but mates call me Capt. Jim or just Jim. Ray! A pint o' Smithwick's best on this here rougue's tab. Anyone rebellin' agin the King be a friend, indeed. Cheers Mate! My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...
Red Cat Jenny Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 Aye Cheers an welcome fellow sea rover! Good friends and fyne drink shall findy ye here. 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...
Mad Matt Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 Welcome aboard, Kim....er, "Silas". Excellent website you've got there. Hope you plan on hangin' about (no pun intended) fer a bit. I sees ye got off t' a good start with th' drinks. I'll take some rum 'n' lime if ye please! You will be flogged. And God willing, come morning, you will be flogged some more.
CrazyCholeBlack Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 Welcome Captain Talbot. I'll happily drink yer rum, but I won't talk politics wif ye. Hope ye don't mind but tis not me favorite subject. Now should ye feel like changin it ta somethin a little less "fight inducin", I'll happy ta join in.

SilasTalbot Posted January 7, 2007 Author Posted January 7, 2007 Thanks to yez all for the welcome - a pleasure it is to be aboard. Have another round on Capt. Talbot...though at this time of day coffee blessed by St. Brendan may be the best choice.

SilasTalbot Posted January 8, 2007 Author Posted January 8, 2007 "The Silas Talbot? The commander of the USS Constitution? Yer a few years after the GAoP, but welcome sir!" Thank you for asking - yes, I would be that Silas Talbot. And true is is that I am somewhat post-GAoP. But I am Capt. Talbot prior to the command of the Constitution...a proud (and profit-minded) privateer looking to take the King's ships as prizes and defend our New England ports. (Long story short - I work for the Freedom Trail Foundation in Boston playing Silas Talbot. It started with just the walking tours, but it grew into sailing on the Liberty Clipper and leading the Historic Pub Crawl, and this year may include going aboard the USS Constitution as Capt. Talbot on the July 4th turnaround).
Boots MacGee Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 Thanks for the welcome mate. I'm sure will meet up again. May the winds of fortune sail you May you sail a gentle sea May it always be the other guy who says "this drinks on me" http://www.susquehannarangers.com/

LadyBarbossa Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Captain. I apologize for not coming in t' welcome ye sooner. Always grand t' meet another who be formally against th' King. God can Bless 'im all He wants... bloody hell if I'll ever bless 'im! Prayer be with thee in yer search for more wealth, mate. Hope the seas be treatin' ya well. And the Ladies even better. :) I'll be havin' Captain an' Coke thank ye. Captain Morgan's favored drink that is. I don't think ye'd taste good soaked in Coke. ::ponders something a moment::: Someone else may though. :::evil grinz::: Again, welcome to th' Pub, Captain Talbot. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!"
