Do any of you know if there were Christmas ritual that early sailors conducted durring the winter months?

Sorry, this should have been posted in the Ward Room, not the Chippy Shop!

Vilkomen! Although I am still using canvas and balsawood, I look forward to masts and sails! Welcome aboard.

May a Christmas star guide you all home safely to port and sweetheart!

Hey, if we all pitch in....

I always wondered why the stein I have has a glass bottom!!! Now I know. Vilkomen to the fleet!

P.S. Hajj, I would like to have my title changed to Press Ganger! ;)

A great read! Thanks for sharing!

You are an airman in the RAF! ;)

Due to this thread, I've added last minute gift ideas to my list for Christmas! :D

You work at a school, don't you? ;)

So no really big pirate vessels hu? Why did I think there were?! LOL. I think I need to get some remedial learnin in, Goldenbooks here I come. I'll gratuate the the encyclopedic tellings someday....

Forgive my ignorance, is there a list of ships that were captured and put into service as privateers or used by pirates anywhere?

Vilkomen!

Vilkomen!

Speaking of Pirate movies... saw a preview this weekend of a movie being put out by Aardman productions, my son went balistic, I guess I have someone to go with me to see it! Yar.

I'll donate a box of cigars, but I ask that no one light up near the powder locker... Grats!

Thanks! You guys are all admirals in my book~!

Absolutely beautiful.

I'm just glad the Prussian fleet is listed... ;)

Now a question. I know that the era that the first set is based on didn't really have any Germanic tubs, were there any prominent vessels that Germans (Prussions or the like) had or captained?

Although not a shanty, my crew has been known to sing this song:

I have been known to enjoy the following rums after taking a choice prize, yar.
Khukri Rum
Ron Zaccapa
Pyrat Rum

All excellent rums and all highly recommended by this scallywag!

Well, I'll be ready for action once my fleet is done being commissioned!
