Ahoy! Have you heard of the new TV
series on NBC? Crossbones! That show is a pretty god one and very
piratical in nature. Although it is fiction and is not bases on any
historical facts, as far as I can tell, It brings out the probable
lifestyles and and culture of a pirate camp/community in the 1600's.
It looks like a place if one existed like this, could possibly rival
that of Tortuga and/or Libertalia, If it was a known place. To
take one on a journey here is to take a piece out of the original
Pirates of the Caribbean, In which only those can find it , if they
already know where it is. The loosely based on the fact of the
figuring out of longitudes, and how it works with time to know where
you are when there is no way to tell, would make such a place
clear possibility in the time setting that it is in. A passing
ship would probably think it is just another deserted island,
possibly with natives on it, and that is all, The Cove where th ship
is anchored is hidden by a long and shallow channel that no Kings
ship would dare to navigate, making it a safe hideaway, and therefore
the community itself hidden from the outside world. The plot
originally for Thomas Lowe, a king's man to go under cover, discover
where Blackbeard is, and kill him, has turned into Thomas Lowe
ally to Blackbeard, with a sneaky every man for himself type of
feeling. It has a very good plot, and I would recommend anyone with
a pirate enthusiasm of any sort to watch it. Until next
time May the wind always be at your back
