The real art of being a pirate is to be able to be a cowardly, greedy and deceptive!!
As a reader of this website you are of course a very nice law abiding person and would never contemplate any of these things. But if you are thinking of pushing your boundaries here are a few things you might think about
Firstly create your own pirate jolly roger. Something with a skull and crossbones or even a design more gruesome than that. Just like you were creating a logo for your business. They were in business after all. Now apply this design to all your hats flags and badges.
Make a hat from 2 cards . Firstly draw an outline of a pirates hat on them. Then cut out the shape. You can use staples to fix the 2 sheets together. Finish off the hat by painting or drawing pirate designs and also glue on some feathers and buttons etc.
Any eye patch can be made by cutting out a circle on black paper or soft card. The fold it in 2 so you have a semicircle 2 layers thick. Under the flap add your elastication .
If you are feeling particularly intent, you can now go on to create pirate ship. The idea here is you would step inside it and carry it around your waist. So start by getting a box that is just big enough tot steep inside. .
Cut a hole in the base of it. Add string to each edge of the box so you can slip them over your shoulders.
On the outside of the box apply fake cannon guns by colouring toilet tube in black and sticking them on the outside of your box.
Add a little jolly rodger flag at the back of you ship , and you are ready to go
The pirate costumes theme continues to catch the imagination local event organisers throughout the country. In Willington Riverfront park, a historical celebration brought together historical characters including pirate’s buccaneers and landlubbers.
The event included a pirate parade and a costume contest among others. For those not willing to wear a pirate costume many wore pirate hats and black boots. It appears that when you wear such an outfit you experience what it was like to be a pirate back in the day.
Historical story tellers told the gatherers that pirates initially started their lives as sailors, and they were very good ones too. A pirate’s ship consisted of many skilled members with their own role to play in the running and sailing of the vessel. It was a well co-ordinated operation.
In the medical part of the ship the equipment used was also presented. These would typically have been used for limb amputations and instruments for boring in the skull.
A second event is planned in Tybee Island and the marketing text is in ancient English
“Hello me hearties. Head ye to the post of Tybee for a pirates party. Wear the best pirate costume ye can find. Gather ye some swashbucklers to join in ye event.
Tis’ the start of a weekend and includes a scallywags costume event for the best dressed one of our folk.”

Although they were people with bad things on their mind like Captain Hook , you thought you were born to be a pirate and now you were looking for your ship.

So now, you may have grown up and your son now shares your pirate dream. He thinks he is Captain Jack Sparrow. You want to encourage that because that is the kind of childhood you had. And one of the best ways to bring your kid’s dream to life is by becoming a pirate.
There is s new gadget is a boat shaped like a pirate ship and is controlled by a remote control. You would most certainly know that this is going to be the best friend a pirate would want to have. It has all those sails that really would want you to shout, “Ahoy, matey!”
