🏴‍☠️🦜 If you are a resident or visitor to the Old North State and you have any interest in Blackbeard , pirates, and/or maritime history, you might want to take some time to explore “Blackbeard’s Trail.” The Hidden Gems USA Travel Facebook account shared what promises to be a great time for anyone interested in those topics. I am a proud graduate of East Carolina University, home of the Pirates. Given the surrounding coastal area’s ties to pirates including Blackbeard, the

I previously shared links to a number of video reviews for the PIRATE BORG tabletop roleplaying game (TTRPG) in my post, “Channeling Your Inner Pirate” (https://www.apirateontheprairie.com/post/channeling-your-inner-pirate). The game looks like it will be a lot of fun (I have read most of the rulebook) and I am looking forward to eventually playing it. It doesn’t have a particularly complex set of rules and it offers rules for naval warfare during the age of sail including ru

It was like coming this close to your dreams and then watch them brush past you like a stranger in a crowd. At the time, you don't think much of it. You know, we just don't recognize the most significant moments of our lives while they're happening. Back then I thought, 'Well, there'll be other days.'

Here’s How” https://youtube.c
