“Come, don’t be in a fright, but put on your clothes, and I’ll let you into a secret. You must know that I am Captain of this ship now, and this is my cabin, therefore you must walk out. I am bound to Madagascar, with a design of making my own fortune, and that of all the brave fellows joined with me…if you have a mind to make one of us, we will receive you, and if you’ll turn sober, and mind your business, perhaps in time I may make you one of my Lieutenants, if not, here’s a boat alongside and you shall be set ashore.”
Henry Avery, informing Captain Gibson of the Duke(who was a notorious drunkard) that he was taking over the ship and going pirate. (Johnson 51-52)

Well that was really telling Captain Gibson, and in no uncertain terms. 😀
Isn’t that just a great quote? I can see them on the ship, fighting it out and becoming pirates.
Thanks, for both the photos and the idea that you have given me.
Hummm..I wonder what that idea might be Jerry. Are you going to turn pirate?
I LOVE vintage boats! I especially love the Chris Craft boats. i would love to photograph one of those. Great job.
There is a huge antique boat show in the Eastern Shore of Maryland this weekend I wish I could be there. But alas, duties are in the way. Actually, this is a cruiser, a cheap version of the Chris Crafts.
Also, up in the Thousand Islands of New York, is a stunning antique boat museum. True works of art.
Terrific series Emily!
Thank you so much Phil. Means so much.
cool captures 🙂
Thanks Pary!
I love, love, love this Avery story!! Arrrgh, my matey!
See you are so wonderful about finding the stories from real people in the past. I wish I could keep an interest in biographies and personal stories like you do. For me, it’s not something I gravitate to.
Arrr me hearty… love pirates and swashbuckling stories! Great photos! 🙂
We need to go and find more pirates ! They are awesome! Humm..perhaps Pirate Weekend at the Maryland Renn Fest. You’ve given me a great idea!
Cool! Will look forward to that! 🙂
Give me the keys, El Capitan, not a drop of spirit touches this lips.
Indeed, sounds like you know this story. You’re awesome Perpetua. 🙂
That’s a pretty good quote, I can really envisage the scene from the dialogue itself.
Me too ! Got to admit I love pirates. During the War of 1812, there was lots of pirateering on the Chesapeake Bay. A story line I really need to pursue.
Great, simple enough – so it’s perfect!
Thank you so much Mary. I’ve seen such simple compositions out there and tell myself I need to work to get there. Somehow I like more of the scene/story in the image.
