Daniel Siemens of Tradewind Bottling

We’re talkin’ ship! Ships in bottles that is. Daniel Siemens is from the landlocked state of Colorado. But that doesn’t stop him from keeping up the tradition of building ships in bottles. Definitely a niche hobby that deserves more people doing it.

Dan will give us some of the tricks of the trade including his most useful tool, the materials he uses, and of course, how he gets the darn thing in the bottle.

Daniel also gives lots of resources for getting started if you’re interested in trying out some bottled ship building yourself.

Thanks to Mark Kehoe for the heads up on this one. You can read about Mark’s commission of The Mercury bottled ship here.

Author Ozgur K Sahin

Ozgur K Sahin is the author of “The Wrath of Brotherhood”, the first book in the Brethren of the Spanish Main series. And he’s also a really interesting dude. A dilettante in the best sense of the word and a guy who ponders the big stuff in life.

In this episode we talk pirates (duh), astrophysics, meditation, and big questions about discovery. You’ll find that “discovery” is a big theme in both Ozgur’s books and our discussion. Fun, deep stuff!

Del Merritt of The Sea Dogs

Del Merritt is the leader of The Sea Dogs. Being that New Jersey isn’t a hotbed of pirate culture, Del and his folks have become the pirates on call for whatever needs pirating.

Music, living history, re-enacting, history education… Del likes to keep his calendar full! We’ll dig into the full history of the group the challenges of making it work. Del’s approach to the old music is interesting too. Listen to see what they do to differentiate from other pirate musical groups.
