About This Blog

This blog is so that I can share those little insites that all pirates should or may already know. Much of these tid bits of info come from the book "So You Wanna Be A Pirate? Here's How!" and the book"Amazing But... False", and e-mails I get from people.
Since I don't have to add pix to this blog I am very excited!! I HATE having to mess around with the pix stuff.

I just want to start by saying that all pirates know that X always marks the spot!!!!!!

The bagpipe did not originate in Scotland. Bagpipes were seen in Europe from 900-1500 A.D. They were also seen in ancient Egyptian art. They weren't even introduced to Scotland until the fifteenth century. There they stayed and became a national symbol.
