Sam Siegel of Schooner Pursuit

Sam Siegel is a man with a dream. After a work injury his friend told him he should become a pirate. So he bought a ship. But she’s not quite seaworthy yet. This is the story of a work in progress.

We’ll find out Sam’s background in Revolutionary War reenactments, how he came to pirates, how he got the schooner Pursuit, and what he’s planning on doing with her when she’s all fixed up.

Besides Sam’s story of the schooner Pursuit, there’s tons of great little history tidbits in here about pirates during the Revolutionary War and the birth of the American Navy. Lots of cool info here that I didn’t know about. And river pirates!

Today’s show is sponsored by:

Here’s a few pictures of the schooner Pursuit both in her heyday and her current state of undress (destress?)

Dan Stevens of Pirata Clothing

Dan Stevens is the founder of Pirata Clothing and Pirata Couture. They specialize in modern clothing that reflects the pirate in all of us. And even some lingerie if that’s your jam. Good looking clothes that us pirate fans can wear among the normal folk. If your job doesn’t allow breeches and hats with giant feathers, you can definitely get away with a skull and crossbones polo from Pirata Clothing.

We’ll learn how he came from small town Ohio, living down (then living up!) the ancestral pirate in his family, and how he got his clothing line started with events that involved only very tiny clothes.

Morgan Molthrop author of Jean Lafitte's Pirate Code

Morgan Molthrop is a former Wall Street investment banker turned New Orleans expert and author. His current book “Jean Lafitte’s Pirate Code: 17 Strategies for Acquiring Until Fortune from America’s first Laissez Fair Capitalist” is part history book, part business book.

We don’t get to talk post-Golden Age stuff much on this show, so we have some fun digging into the War of 1812 and the Battle of New Orleans where Lafitte played a prominent part.

And we’ll hear about Morgan’s own trek back from the jungles of Wall St to his home in Louisiana and how he created his new life.

Plus comedy from Steve Sabo.

And I’ll let you know how many trombones is too many trombones.
