New Introduction Area

[feedback]

We thought we'd add an area where new members could say hello to everyone and leave a brief message about themselves.

Thanks,

`I've declared war against the world and I'm looking for crew. It's a hen frigate to be sure, but I'll give chase to anything on the sea. Food passable, fair split on the prizes.

If you thought it was only the boys who were pirates, let me tell you about Mary Killigrew. She was the daughter of a former Suffolk pirate. Mary's husband Sir Henry Killigrew, a former pirate himself, was made a Vice-Admiral by Queen Elizabeth I and tasked with suppressing piracy. Whenever her husband went to sea Mary engaged in piracy using the staff of her castle (Arwenack Castle in Cornwall) as crew and possibly with the Queen's knowledge. In 1570 she captured a German merchant ship off Falmouth and her crew sailed it to Ireland to sell. However, the owner of this ship was a friend of Queen Elizabeth who then had Lady Mary arrested and brought to trial at the Launceston assizes. Some sources say she was sentenced to death and then pardoned by the Queen but this is due to confusion with another family member. According to sources, her family either bribed the jurors and she was acquitted or Queen Elizabeth arranged a short jail sentence. Whatever transpired, she gave up pirating and took up fencing stolen goods until she died several years later.

Join me for a walk any Sunday, and I will tell you all about Pirates.

We meet outside The Blue Reef Aquarium every Sunday at 2.00pm by the BEETLE STATUE, ANCHOR SQUARE BS1 5UH.
