Pirates...

As promised at _ibby_'s on Saturday - Links on pirates and pirate re-enactment:

• Blackbeard.co.uk ~ 'Educational' site, has useful links


• No Quarter Given ~ Loads of useful and interesting stuff. Make a point of looking at their links ('Ports o' Call')...


• Gentlemen of Fortune


• Pyracy Pub


• Pirates!: Fact and legend


• Web Index of Piracy


• The Pirates' Hold


• Re-enactment Societies:
  
  • Seathieves ~ This is the society we were recommended by some ECWS members who also 'do' pirates. They are recruiting, and are also looking for 'fops'... *looks hard at Carl*
  
  
  • Bonaventure
  
  
  • Colchester Historical Enactment Society (CHES)
  
  
  • The Historical Maritime Society - The Naval Re-Enactors (Royal Navy)
  
  
  • PUBCAT
  
  
  • Black Flag
  
  
  • Company of the Black Spot ~ No website yet; S. England; contact thepussykat


• Costume
  
  • The Salacious Historian's Lair, by N. Kipar, covers from the 'baroque' period onwards.
  
  
  • Reconstructing History Patterns, includes English costume from Elizabeth I to 18thC, and some international costume from roughly the same timespan.


• Finally, Histrenact has lots of good resources and links, although not specifically piratical...
