Gentlemen Brethren

Avast! I feel like such a poser after reading all the information at Gentlemen of Fortune and Ye Pirate Brethren. My kit is definitely in the fantasy pirate category but I've got to start somewhere... and it's plenty fun too. I'll keep an eye out for more authentic period pieces though. It would be nice to put together a kit that is GAoP correct. A ten page post on the YPB forum about shoes tells me project will be a lot of work to get right.

    Since the actual written and visual evidence of pirates is soooooo scant you can get away with a lot. I have another book for ye. The Buccaneers of America by Alexander O. Exquemelin published in 1678. You can get a copy at Powells.

    For me I do not like the bedraggled pirate image. I do not want to dress like a scupper-plugging scally-wag.

    I've got "BofA" by Exquemelin and "A General History of the Robberies and Murders of the Most Notorious Pirates" by Johnson (Dafoe) in my Amazon wishlist.
