    They were strolling about getting people excited about a new pirate ship adventure on Topsail Island . They were from The Raven , not the Bounty .[IMG]

    I have always loved the tall ships . I lived in Va. Bch. & would go to Portsmouth to see them when they would pull into port there .

    Great pic's and looks like a fun day. I'd almost give a limb to get a ride on her under full sail with a stiff wind!
