UTC 065 – Courtney Page and Kim Kenyon of Queen Anne’s Revenge Project

November 19, 2016 / Phil Johnson / 0 Comments

Courtney and Kim from Queen Anne's Revenge

Another episode of Blackbeard stories? Yes! But from a different angle. Courtney Page and Kim Kenyon are part of the Queen Anne’s Revenge wreck project.

The Queen Anne’s Revenge was Blackbeard’s final flagship. Kim and Courtney have got great stories about the wreck itself and their part in bringing all the cool stuff up to the surface for conservation. Plus we’ll get the origin stories of how they each came to be on the project.

The Queen Anne’s Revenge has always been a controversial project among shipwreck people, but regardless it’s an interesting look into the time period and the craft of shipwreck preservation.

Plus comedy from Kristee Ono and a song called “Consciousness Express” from Diamond D and the Stargazers.

Michael Manerchia of Marcus Hook Preservation Society

Happy Halloween! I got this week’s episode out a day early for you because Michael Manerchia, president of the Marcus Hook Preservation Society has some great ghost stories to give you a few Halloween shivers.

Marcus Hook, PA was a haven for pirates during the Golden Age – a secret party town where the pirates could blow off some steam. It was also a regular hangout of Blackbeard and Stede Bonnet. And…so the legend of the house goes… Blackbeard’s mistress.

Michael has some really fascinating stories about the town of Marcus Hook and the houses that made him an accidental archaeologist.

Plus comedy from Justin Hoff, who you can also see more of in the video below.

Sorry, no music this week. I put the word out for bands to send me stuff to play and didn’t get a response. And I’m on the road performing and didn’t have time to chase them down.

Check out another bit from Justin Hoff below. As you can see from the title, there’s some “language” in it.

Erikka Innes of Pool Pirates

Erikka Innes is a comedian and filmmaker. A few years back she made a short film called “Pool Pirates” that I was lucky enough to be in. You can check out the whole film below. I’m the one in the floaty ring. 🙂

The film is about a crew of pirates that have lost their ship and take over a suburban backyard pool. Very funny!

Erikka and I have been friends for a lot of years now, but I was only around for the second half of this film’s process. Interesting to get the back story and see what happened before I got there. We talk a lot about the indie filmmaking process in this one and the learning curve of a first time filmmaker.

Plus comedy from Erikka Innes herself and a great song from Barbar O’ Rhum called “Coeur de l’Ocean”. Hope you remember more of your high school French than I do for that one.
