Pirates Hold - Pirate History and Beyond

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.

3/27 Work continues on 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-)
