An update on the Pirate's Lady- it is with heavy hearts that we must announce that the lovely Lady was not salvageable. It was a tough decision but one we had to make. She will rest in her beloved Bahamas forever more. Thanks for all the well wishes, it has meant so much to the crew and our entire Blackbeard's Family. Crew member Wade Kumm posted this great poem in her honor. Guest Paula Carter shared her Pirate Flag- she is now a pirate ship in the true meaning of the word. We thank the Pirate Lady for delivering her last group safely before giving it up to the wicked sea. We'll miss you lovely lady!
Oh Pirates Lady my true princess,
you will, I'm sure, by many be missed.
The joy, happiness and delight you brought,
by answering the calls for adventure sought.
You took me places many dream to be,
over and both under the sea.
The memories made shall eternally be kept,
in the minds of all who were fortunate to have met,
a vessel, a treasure, as fine as you,
though deep in your keel to the pirate you be true.
The lessons you taught on land and at sea,
Will be held forever so dear to me.
In your darkest hour you still stood firm,
to allow those we love, a chance to return,
to tell the story of your demise,
a story told with tears in our eyes.
So it's time I say farewell, goodbye,
in the depths of the ocean you will lie,
where once again your hull shall be,
a refuge, a home, a family tree.
I shall one day a captain become,
To honor your name.
Your adopted son. WADE KUMM, past crewmember on the PL
Rest assured, we will continue to provide memories for all our future guests aboard our Sea Explorer and Morning Star- sister ships to the Pirates Lady.
