    Hopefully something all of you will enjoy!

    I try to keep to historical archaeology (has written documentation) for now since i'm still relatively new to the field. I've done some paleolithic work on 41LU1 (Lubbock Lake Landmark) in Lubbock Texas with the Texas Tech Museum (found a large semi "`bi-pedal`" bear, looks like a regular bear...

    Lifeboats?

    hehehehe Too true Catalina, If'n only the lubbers'd be fer lettin' plant me little rubber boat in them there waters i'd be makin' a hefty sum. As for the cost of a small zodiac (`4-6` ppl), you're looking at $1500 plus not counting the motors and fuel and metal deck plating in the bottom. So...

    NEW PA! ARTICLE: The True View of A Pirate Ship and Crew

    I agree that the amount specified in my previous post was a bit over the norm for a haul from a plundered ship, but I was only making a point. Many larger troves were taken though with the largest known being recorded at 4000 pounds per pirate not counting the additional shares doled out to the...

    Mostly in Texas on old Spanish missions like the one's in Menard, San Antonio, and the like. Unfortunately to get a job that pays well you need experience and to get experience you need a job, like anything else worth while. So we'll see where I end up with it. I'm not giving up on it yet.

    Life... or something like it.

    I plan to. I don't see $10 a month a big deal for the pleasure to sink and plunder REAL peoples ships and laugh at them floundering about in the sea while I sail into the horizon. If I could get away with it in real life i'd do it . This is as close as I can get to doing it, so I see no problem...

    Catalina, i hate to dash your dreams darlin' but to do an underwater archaeological excavation such as you're talking about takes a degree in anthropology/archaeology with a minor in geography or oceanography (which fortunately I have). And they still won't let me near a major excavation due to...

    Nautical Origins of Common English Slang

    Funny thing is most of those terms are still in common usage in the Navy and Marine Corps today. They make sure you learn proper terminology for things in recruit training and alot of those words were on your list. Excellent job!!

    The Difficulties of Researching the Time of 1650 to 1750

    Do `inter-library` loans through your local library. You can pull a REAL book from ANY library in the US. If you need a different book not in a pulic library you can try a trick i did after graduating college. Audit a class and `inter-library` loan through the university library. This allows...

    Lifeboats?

    Most of my friends and I use small Zodiac boats with twin 40's on the back. That way if one motor croaks you have a back up and an extra bladder of `jp-5` fuel. Thankfully we've never had to use them yet. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif"...

    Davy Jones' Locker

    Then his is usually impersonalted by the smallest sailor on board, given a hump, horns and a tail, and his features made as ugly as possible. He is swinish, dressed in rags and seaweed, and shambles along in the wake of the sea king, neptune, playing evil tricks upon his fellow sailors. This...

    The Difficulties of Piracy/Piracy Tactics

    On tactics remember how the English devastated the Spanish Armada? Fleets generally line up like so - - - - - - (spanish fleet) - - - - - - (english fleet) and broadside the crap out of each other. Well the English did a little tricky manuevering that turned the tides to make the entire...

    Finding Facts on Ship Types, DO NOT TRUST GAMES!

    In all the `to-do` don't count out your local library. You can do an `inter-library` loan and get ANY book that's in copy in the continental USA (or from over seas if you happen to be enrolled in an accredited university like Texas Tech or the like). I've found all sorts of information on the...

    Captain Python's Table, Edition 3

    1. Looking forward to it. 2. Look no futher than the golden rule, kill the wretch, kill and be killed i say. 3. A country boy can't be wrong. Did you see the way Kerry held that shot gun? I'd put my money on Catalina in a fire fight. I'm going for Bush.

    Awaiting my copy of Sea Dogs (impatiently)

    I read that `cd-rom` speed may be a problem when installing this game so i'm trying to get some info on how i can slow the thing down (it's a 48X) in case i need to once my game arrives and i try to install. Any suggetsions are welcome.
