Ship's Log

Back to the Days of the Privateers in Baltimore.  You couldn't ask for a better venue one block from the old Fells Point district with cobblestone streets, a view of the Baltimore Harbor, watching sugar being stowed in the hold below.  The Pride of Baltimore sailing majestically in the background.

Members of Blackbeards Crew joined forces with the Crew of the Vigilant and the Crew of the Archangel to put on a show in Baltimore.  The Bos'n and South did some presentations on Seamanship, Navigation, Ginger played Colonial Games with the visitors, and Cookie helped demonstrate food preparation, Crewman South lead the training of three groups of powder monkeys in the arts of the skallywag and issued them certificates of training.

Kittyhawk Heffwit shared some tent space with Nicodemus to show off the Colonial Seaport Foundation material and added a  new member to the CSF at the Constellation level!!!

The Bos'n, Cookie, and South joined forces with Duncan McGuyver, Captain Sterling and Crews to capture the tallship "Lioness" that was being guarded by a regiment of Lobsterbacks.  Using KittyHawk Heffwit as bait she distracted the guards while we boarded the ship.  A battle insued during which one of the Bosun's pistols misfired.  While trying to clear the weapon the other crew members escaped leaving the Bos'n to be captured.  Ash
returned to rescue the Bos'n and was also captured.  This upset the Bos'n as now crewman Ash was captured.  When the Bos'n yelled at Ash for returning, Ash explained that he was coming back to rescue him.  The Bos'n realized that Ash selflessly put himself in harms way to rescue the Bos'n which pulled on his heart strings so much that he grabbed Ash and hugged him before the Lobsterbacks were able to put shackles on them.  The Lobsterbacks were so taken aback by the scene that the Bos'n and Seaman Ash seized the opportunity to escape.

As the "Lioness" attempted to escape the Schooner "Farewell" manned by Gun Crews from Blackbeards Crew with "One Eyed Jack" and the Crew of the Vigilant with "Baby" gave chase.  The Bos'n and Cookie were on the foredeck with "One Eyed Jack" between the two of them they fired off about 20 rounds of shot at the Lioness.  The "Pride of Baltimore"  Blockaded the Harbour to prevent the Lioness from being able to escape.  After a severe pounding on the "Lioness" by the "Farewell" and the "Pride".  The crew aboard the "Farewell" was able to capture the "Lioness" and bring her back to port.

This successful battle led to the Tavern Walk through old towne Baltimore for a celebration.
