Portland Pirate Festival 2009

Many a plunder'n and merry making to be had at the Pirate Festival. So many pirates to be found that you couldn't toss a stone without hit'n one! Such a sight was to be found that the gentlemen of the Guinness Book proclaimed a record to be had as evidenced by the 1651 pirates. Beat'n the bloody english record of 1,467 pirates in one place.

Plunder at the 2009 Portland Pirate Festival

My complete kit from the 2009 Portland Pirate Festival is listed below. I have some regrets about getting the Pirate style holsters from Ravenswood as the large amount of leather covers the pretty pistol. In retrospect I probably should have selected the buccaneer style with the open end. Ah, but I'm sure I'll be needing additional holsters in the future. This would definitely be classified as a fantasy pirate kit in the vein of a swashbuckling gentleman rat bastard, which is fine with me. I'm more interested in having fun with the period for the time being.

Coat, vest, medium dagger, pouch, powder horn were gifts from Capt. Grimstock
