ARRrrr - Ho, Ho
(photo submitted by a scurvy elf)
Capt. Blackbeard of Key Largo, Florida. This Blackbeard is a REAL pirate, making his living through marine salvage and other suspicous maritime activities. Capt. Blackbeard sends in occasional reports to NQG.

Louie Sanschagrin
Ya was greeted by French Louie, readin' our fine magazine, on our
Home Page. Here he is striking a pose made famous by a pirate of
old (we'll let you guess who).
(Louie Lambe was practically born aboard a sailing vessel,
and by the young age of two, had sailed half-way around the
world, and was bein' fondled by the naked dark-haired beauties of
Tahiti. He can often be found working aboard tug boats, and
helping to restore old tallships. He has contributed articles to
NQG on nautical terminology).
Francisco de la
Beltraneja as the "Pirate King" in the Pirates of
Penzance
Francisco has been entertaining us with his Tales of
a Spanish Pirate for several issues now of "No Quarter
Given". He seems to have been cursed with that old Chinese
adadge "May you lead an Interesting Life", but
despite it all, he's managed to keep his head (and the rest of
his anatomy) and has had quite a few adventures along the way.
(Jerry Reyes, Francisco's alter-ego, was recently featured in the
title role in the musical version of "Popeye" at the
Orange County Marine Institute, in Dana Point, CA. And a splendid
job he did, too!!)
How
pirates roast hot dogs
After a long day of filming a pirate movie trailer at Dockweiler
Beach in Los Angeles, the pirates take a break. Notice that they aren't just
usin' coat hangers to roast their weinies. Seen here from
left to right: Louie Sanschagrin, Francisco de la Beltraneja,
Greg Devore (headless), Robert Chapin, and Michael MacLeod.
The Pirate Lollipop
Brigade
(these jovial buccaneers were found having a good time at the
Redondo Beach Lobster Festival, Oct. 97)
(James Alexander Mandrow, Louie Sanschagrin, Francisco de la Beltraneja)
James Alexander Mandrow (left
above)
Captain of the "Satan's Spawn", and
arch-nemesis of Baron Baudric von Eisenfaust. Mandrow and the
Baron conducted a very heated, and prolonged exchange of letters
within the pages of "No Quarter Given".
(Steve Allen has also written "A Pirate's Journal"
for NQG under the guise of Wilhelm Schuck, and a non-fiction
article on pirate history.)
Bosuness Pickywench
Seen here in her guise as the Red Pirate, Pickywench is often a
force to be reckoned with. Having just returned from sacking the
Isle of Santa Catalina, we caught her here aboard the Lady
Washington. She's a dead eye with her silver ladle - the most
feared weapon 'mongst the buccaneers. We gave you a pretty full
rundown on her in the Jan. '96 NQG issue about "Buccaneering
Women". Though usually anchored in the desert sands of
Arizona, she and her mate, Capt. Clifton (seen below) often
ravage the coasts of California.
Captain Clifton
He's widely known 'mongst the brotherhood as Catnapper, for his
common habit when on the sea, as the waves gently rock him to
sleep. But I would tip-toe past him verra carefully, for when
awake, and risen to his full height, he can be quite imposin'.
(In other worlds, they are known as Satin and Kenneth "Slinky" Clifton)
"Calico Jack" Rackham
We met Calico Jack at a grand gathering of buccaneers and sea
rovers in the Keys of Florida at the Pirates in Paradise
festival. We hear tell he now runs with Capt. Blackbeard and the
scurvy lot what calls themselves Pirates RRR Forever.
(This pirate's name REALLY is John Rackham, and according to his family tradition, they are descendants of the Rackham famous in pirate lore. He is currently looking to document this connection through geneological research.)
Captain Wm.
Kidd
The good captain is seen here at the Pirate Feast, held
recently in Adelphi, Maryland. He and a contingent of his Free
Men of the Seas revelled at the festivities. The FMOS
base their operations out of the waters of Connecticut. Rumours
tell that he is building a stronghold in the vicinity of the
Thimble Islands. He and his FMOS have been spotted frequently of
late, as they get bolder and bolder. They slipped into Marblehead
Harbor (Mass.) on the eve of the USS Constitution's
commemorative voyage last summer, and even took some of the
marines and U.S. sailors into custody. Kidd and his crew kept
them well entertained at a local tavern of ill repute..

Scarlett Bludworth
The notorious and bloodthirsty Scarlett (left), often seen in the
company of Capt. Kidd and his crew. Here she was amongst the
pirates that attacked the HMS Rose during the A&E Horatio
Hornblower Sea Battle in New York Harbour.
(photo by Bob Chandler)
Silverbeard
Consort and cohort of the infamous Scarlett Bludworth,
Silverbeard is a fierce enemy and a worthy companion to have on
any venture. He is as quick with his blade as he is with his wit.

Two Black Captains
It takes a pirate exhibit to bring two famous pirate captains
together. Here, at the "Under the Black Flag" exhibit,
at the Mariner's Museum, Blackbeard (left) greets Bartholomew
"Black Bart" Roberts.
(Ben Cherry has long portrayed Blackbeard,
& Capt. Roberts is Joseph Ruckman).

The Skull of Blackbeard
Capt. Roberts inspects the purported skull of Blackbeard, on
exhibit at the Mariner's Museum (August '97 - January '98).
Unfortunately, experts believe there is no way to verify if this
is the actual skull, and it is rumoured that there may be at
least one other purported skull of Blackbeard.

Captain Wolfric
Tugmutton and some of the Brotherhood
This scurvey lot attends and offends (READ:
"tossed out of") the Michigan Renaissance Festival.
They have been attending this grand event for over 11 years.
(photographer unknown)
Capt. Helga the Horrible
Now I don't think she looks so horrible! But she tells stories of
making prisoners walk the plank with bare feet, in order that the
splinters will provide the sharks with toothpicks. She patrols
the waters of the Georgia Renaissance Festival.
(photographer unknown)
The Corsican
Sisters
Aye, you've read about the Infamous identical twin
sisters, Philistina and Baracuda d' Morte in the Aventures of
the Corsican Sisters When they're not writing their memoirs,
you'll often find them at the Nautical Festivals and Rennaisance
Fairs in the company of the Port Royal Privateers. Known for
their licentious behavior, piratical ways, and the corrupting of
cabin boys far and wide, they are often an adventure just to be
around.
Barracuda d'Morte
Philistina d'Morte

Mother Rackett
Proprietress of the Drunken Mermaid Tavern, our
Mother Rackett is a fine lass with a heart of gold, but don't go
mistreatin' one of her girls, or you might live to
regret it. "Aye, that one had good a taste, but was a mite
stringy!"
Smilin' Jack Cagway
Smilin' Jack lent his back fer the signin' o' the Star
of India's flag, just before it was sent to Old Ironsides to
commemorate her first sailin' in 119 years. Members of the Port
Royal Privateers are always there to lend a hand, or a back, as
needed. Barracuda d'Morte is shown here also, as she makes her
mark (luckily fer Jack, she didn't use a quill pen).
Agnes the Red
a.k.a. Nancy Gray
February 6, 1958 - April 28, 1998
Captain of the Each Uisage, scourge of the seas, and
thorn in the side of Captain Aransas de Guello ... nay, the love
of Captain Aransas' life ... or, mayhap, both. Seen here with her
lovely niece Brigit McGinity, who's also sure to tear asunder
many a young man's heart.
Nancy Gray contributed over twenty episodes of "The Tale
of Agnes and Aransas--OR-- Destiny at Sea" to No Quarter
Given. She also contributed several articles on costuming. After
a long, valiant struggle with breast cancer, Nancy Gray has now
left us to sail upon uncharted seas. We will all miss her, but
we'll never forget her.
Aransas De Guello
Black-hearted scoundrel (at least to hear Agnes tell
it), and captain of the Toro de Agua. Agnes the Red and
Aransas' stormy romance has been chronicled often in the pages of
"No Quarter Given".
Will Howard
Will writes to us of his adventures in How I Became
a Pirate, or: From Nasby to Port Royall in the years 1645-1660.
He sends his hand-written accounts to us in a splendid example of
penmanship, using the nicest roundhand we've ever had cross our
writing desk. He is seen here as part of the cannon crew aboard
the Pilgrim of Newport during the recent sea battles in
Long Beach Harbor.
(Howard Major, Jr. re-enacts many historical periods, from medieval eras, Viking, English Civil War, American Civil War, Old West and even as a Russian WWII sargeant. And, of course, pirates. He also teaches school ... & guess which subject!)
Baron von Eisenfaust
Arch-nemesis to Capt. Mandrow, Agnes the Red and Aransas
de Guello, the good Baron is seen here preparin' ta pick off a
few sailors up in the rigging of the Californian. He is
a crack shot with the musket.
Thane Blackdawn
Thane was rescued by ( . . . and from) Philistina &
Barracuda in a past episode of the "Adventures of the
Corsican Sisters". He was a long-time supporter of Agnes the
Red in her trials with Aransas de Guello.
