Cool New Sites

That ol' Captain Sage has been working hard while ashore, and he's got two new sites for your viewing pleasure. TreasureHuntingShop.com offers you everything you need to hunt your treasure:

PirateFestivals.com, as the name might suggest, aims to be a database of all legitimate pirate festivals:

Pirate Festivals have grown in popularity and number in recent years. Many Renaissance Faires and Festivals have pirate-themed weekends or events. Most festivals offer activities, crafts, and other fun stuff for children, who will cherish the memory of talking to a real pirate. Historical characters or places are featured in several pirate festivals, so you can combine your visit with a trip to the local beaches or rivers.
