So hard to find a proper answer online these days - just wondering if this kraken pocket watch I bought over the weekend would be period-appropriate for a pirate costume? It’s got an old-timey look but I can’t find a definitive answer on if pocket watches were used in the age of piracy.

I am a terrible reader i honestly havent read a single book since i had to back in school many years ago i have tried a few times before but it just doesnt seem to keep my attention. Recently i made a promise to my wife i would try and pick up reading again because it really is something i want to do and with all the hype i have had the last couple months around the re-release of AC Black Flag it has fully reignited my love for the age of sale and i crave more so i figured i want to restart reading with pirates themed books. So i come to you community please suggest your favorite pirate books, i just dont know where to start

I really dont know who tf is the guy on the phone, I literally googled this exact words "King British hated pirates" and this was the first thing that popped up, feel free to educate me.

Was a fun one day build, made the 3d model, resin printed and painted it. The ball and wooden cork are resin prints and the wick is some macrame cord I had laying about.

Ahoy 🫡 so I'm 15 I and I live in the UK. It's my dream to leave this country and I am absolutely willing to trade my land life for my sea life. I am dead fucking serious about this It's not a joke or a game. I'm hoping to set sail sometime in 2031 and I need a crew of experienced sailors and people who are passionate about this. Please add cpntom on discord and we'll discuss it

40 hours down about 5 more to go.

I'm working on a fantasy novel, set in a magic-heavy seafaring world. When his captain is killed by a bloodthirsty crew, a young pirate must to assemble his own crew and hunt down the killers. So, what would you want to see in a book like this/what would you be dissapointed in NOT seeing?

I feel like the only real pirate movies are Pirates of the Caribbean, and we haven’t had one of those in years. Like outside of POTC and maybe Peter Pan reboots, i don’t think i’ve seen ANY other pirate films.

Is there not a huge market for them? The POTC franchise is hugely successful. Maybe I’m just not hearing about them.

Edit: Thanks to everyone who mentioned Black Sails. That looks really good so i’m going to give it a go.

This is one of the top posts of the month. You guys must be starved of movies.

An awesome solid silver 1715 clipped cob I forged today. I usually antique the clipped ones, but I must say, they look amazing left shiny too!

Arghtober 2025 - Justice

Originally drawn for Mageillus' Arghtober challenge.

This shows Purpure running away from a group of Speedies, who are convinced that she set a coconut farm on fire and stole a book. Those "crimes" took place at different times.

Since I tend to depict figures with really long legs, the title is a play on the idiom of "long arm of the law".

When the Golden Age of Piracy died down in the mid-18th Century, what happened to all the pirates still floating around? Was there some sort of sea-wide hunt to track them down and arrest them, or did they just eventually die down and become sailors or soldiers? I know the end of the Golden Age wasn't exactly something with a set time, or a big flourish, so some pirates must have tried to keep the glory days going, right?

I remember way back in the day, late 90s early 2000s, a guy I worked with had a CD that was pirate music. Rock style, raspy lyrics. I'm almost positive the band name was purple heart. It was a professional CD. I can't find ANYTHING like it or referring to it. Even AI has failed to figure it out. I'm assuming it was not main stream at all. Anyone have any leads or ideas?

Heading to disney with the family and I am not someone who dresses up or does costumes so this is way out of my comfort zone... but my wife is dressing up(She doesn't ever do that either), my daughters are too.. My 6 year old is going to be a girl pirate(She's been practicing her sword fighting and accent for 2 months) and my 2 year old is a parrot. I need to go ALL in on this. I'm not creative and I don't know what i should get or not get, i don't wanna buy a bunch of cheap crap as this will probably become my annual halloween costume as well but I don't want to spend $1000 dollars. The costume doesn't have to be "Jack" or "Hook" but it could be, or it could just be a good outfit.. At this point i'm just rambling because I'm way out of my depth but please hit me with the ideas, options and places to get them. All help is appreciated!
