Just for Fun

Festivals

Who knows what you might find in a pirates hold; sugar, exotic spices, fine silks, gold, prisoners waiting to be ransomed, moldy bread, rats, cockroaches, all nature of treasure and trash. This site will try to contain the treasures of information, images, sources and things relating to pirates. It will concentrate on the historical aspects, but if I find something particularly intriguing I may include it. There are a good number of images and some sound bites, but I will try to keep the biggest of them in the Hold and off the other pages.

	The Errol Flynn Signature Collection (Captain Blood / The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex / The Sea Hawk / They Died with Their Boots On / Dodge City / The Adventures of Errol Flynn)	Great Caesar's Ghost, Captain Blood and the Sea Hawk together in the same set, you can bet that I'll be snatching one of these quickly.

Pirates Hold News

3/27 Work continues of Got Nation, but it's almost done with v1.0, so I will have some time to devote here later this week. The pirate roster will be my first task, as I convert it over to a MySQL database rather than a flat javascript array, this will give me the chance to do some reference cross links to my source books. You will notice a map at the bottom of this page that shows where Pirates Hold visitors come from. While you wait for updates to this site, here's a shameless banner link to Got Nation. P-)

1/05 Welcome to the new year. I find myself being pulled in a number of directions between classes, work and maintaining my websites. I've added a few new rums in the Tavern and updated the Festivals with all of this years dates (as best possible, some dates are still questionable). Just for fun here's a picture of me giving a speech last year on Hollywood's relationship with pirates and a brief movie (8.44Mb) of the start of that speech . P-)

10/23 - Okay, I've been very busy with a new project. Got Nation Its just about to shift status to beta test so I should have some time to devote here. Not to mention the new hosting service has PHP and MySQL features that I've been learning about, so I'll probably be streamlining some of the features here to take advantage of that, primarily to speed up the download of some of the content heavy pages

06/10 - Been busy with a new site on tanks, Tread Marks. I'll try to get some new content added here next week (I did add a few new names for French privateers from the Napoleonic era).

Affiliate disclaimer:
This site like many others offers links that allow you to purchase merchandise through various commercial sites like Amazon.com and Allposters.com. I know, we all hate the ads that show up on the web; things like pop-ups and banners can eat bandwidth and time as they download and are just plain intrusive. I won't whine to you about how I provide a service with this site at a cost in time and money; in reality I wouldn't do this if I didn't get some enjoyment out of it. Affiliate links try to minimize the commercial aspects, they provide links to items that site visitors might be interested in buying, without the intrusiveness. I suggest that you pick a site (this one or another) that provides a link to places like Amazon and use the general link on the home page to get to Amazon (or where ever), the prices are the same and you provide the site builder with some support and extra incentive to keep the site up-to-date, and maybe even the means to upgrade the site with new features, like a dedicated domain name, upgraded hosting or *gasp* maybe even a dedicated server of their own (my wife would just love that, [vbeg]).
