The Dainty Murdress, 1733
They've been romanticized for decades. Centuries, even. Pirates. There's even a song about them: yo-ho, yo-ho, a pirate's life for me.
These aren't those pirates. They don't sail the seven seas or sink enemy ships. They do plunder rich merchant vessels - of course! - and recruit anyone to whom life has been particularly cruel.
But these pirates - their daring crafts take not to the oceans but to the skies, held aloft by hydrogen balloons, propelled by the wind and steered by outstretched wingsails.
It's far more fun up in the sky - there's more freedom to run and better cloud cover to hide from the Royal Navy - but beware the Brits and even the Colonials, armed with flame-bolted crossbows that will render a hydrogen-powered craft ash in a second.
Whaddaya say? Are y'all ready for some rip-roarin' fun?[/u][/font][/size][/url]
