We endeavor to bring history alive through live historical re-enactment on a land-transportable stage that closely emulates a 16th century square rigged merchant/privateer vessel. Our members will assume the attire and persona of the Captain, officers, and crew of an ancient sailing vessel. Through this medium we will educate the public, child and adult, in the daily life, duties, skills, terminology, and even the politics of the maritime life. Our living history conducted via "gig" and improvisational acting will capture our audience's imagination allowing us to teach our skills and history of a past era."

The show is an anachronistic comedy set in the 17th century that spans the globe from the Indian Ocean to the Caribbean.
