Talk Like a Pirate Day
The central hub for all things pirate (so long as you have a sense of humor about it, and don't count stitches.)
PyrateCon
Really, if you love pirates, and you have the means, you gotta go! 2007 was their inaugural year, and the lineup of VIPs, speakers, celebrities, and just plane awsome pirates was incredible. A three day party of pirate enthusiasts in one of the most gorgeous yet decadent cities in the country. What more could you ask?
Seabeaver.net
I find this site very amusing, and I'm not sure if that speaks well of me. It does get a little risqué, so young'ns should steer clear.
The Scarlett Harlott
You've seen her take MySpace by storm, you've seen here make a splash at PyrateCon... and now you can keep up with the latest Scarlett Harlott happenings via her personal website, complete with sound effects and harpsichord music!
Zombie Pirates.com
A website tracking the progress of an in-progress claymation pirate movie. Definitely a noble persuit!
Yo-Yo Island
Looking for a way to spend your disposable time and badwidth? Make Yo-Yo Island your port of call and you might never be heard from again.
Pirate Monkeys Inc.
Truly, a site after my own heart. Especially useful is their Pirate Monkey Resource section.
- Sites Selling Something -
Captain Jack's Pirate Hats
A fine source for your authentic pirate hat - weathered, piratey, and beautiful. Buy one and wear it everywhere, cuz pirates are trendy!
Pirate Mod
Without a doubt the most extensive selection of original jolly roger-based shirts, hoodies, etc. If you can't find at least one you love, then you aren't looking hard enough.
Dress Like a Pirate
All sorts of pirate swag - of particular use to the new recruit that wants to look great without spending a fortune. Also a goodly assortment of gypsy/bellydancing clothes and accessories, for the pirate gal seeking to spice up her attire beyond the typical "tavern wench" look.
Silhouettes Clothing Co.
Pirate clothes here, pirate clothes there, but if it's replica quality Jack Sparrow attire ya seek, this be yer answer!
Reconstructing History
They started as the "to go" place for genuine, authentic pirate clothing patterns (a rare gem indeed.) But they're quickly evolving into a "one stop pirate shoppe" for all your piratey needs.
Quicksilver's Pirate Pots
Your source for the most piratey table and barware around. Jugs, plates, tankards, grogards... the list goes on and on, mates!
To Be a Pirate
Pirate clothing that's affordable yet trendy. Perfect for novice club pirates, fashion pioneers, or anyone else looking to kick their pirate costume up a notch or two from the status quo.
Carlisles Historic Clothing
These folks have some absolutely gorgeous stuff available. A definite must-stop if you're looking for pirate clothing, especially if you lean towards the fancier attire.
Stumpy and Scurvy's Pirate Shop
From the folks that brought us Pirate Mod comes this new shop full of high end pirate accessories - metal, leather, and brass, and narry a plasic doubloon in sight!
Sea Wolf Trading Company
A fantastic place for many of your basic pirate needs (collectables, barwear, T-shirts, etc). But even better to visit in person if you happen to be in Fremont (not far from San Francisco, CA.)
Ye Olde Tattoo Shoppe
Someday I'll get meself a piratey tattoo, and when I do, you better believe it will be from Ye Olde Tattoo Shoppe. Their artists are pirates, their decor is pirate, and their attitude (you guessed it) is PIRATE!
Pirate's Alley Trading Company
Selling some of the finest rum cakes, cigars, and ju-ju bawls - all made fresh with New Orleans Rum.
No Quarter Given
Great magazine. Also a path towards spiritual enlightenment. AND they have one of the most thorough directories of pirate merchants around.
Sea Wolf Clothing
Plenty of fun T-shirts, hats, and accessories featuring various pirate imagery and the very neat and distintive Sea Wolf logo. Some items modeled by a familiar face from Pirates of the Caribbean!
Dreaded Pirates
Piratey dreads from mere tie-in extensions right up to full wigs. Colors range from the real to the surreal, so Jack Sparrow clones and space pirates alike can feel right at home.
Billy Bones' Pirate Locker
Loads of cool pirate party merchandise and books.
PirateMerch.com
Clothing for the modern pirate, including t-shirts, buttons, stickers, and even baby clothes!
Port Royal Trading Company
More loads of pirate merchandise.
CDock Pirates
I vaguely remember checking these guys out a long while ago, and wasn't that impressed. Well, I was either drunk at the time, or they've drastically increased their inventory, because they have one heck of a selection of pirate wonders.
Various pirate wears and knick-knacks.
- Sites ta Learn Ya' Something -
Pyracy.com
Home of the Pyracy Pub - the most all-encompassing forum out there for pirate fanatics. Very reenactor-centric. If you're a weekender wanting to know what kind of miniskirt goes best with a tricorn hat... well, consider yourself warned.
Keep to the Code
Your number one stop for all news relating to the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Also offers "members only" news and benefits.
Rob Ossian's Pirate's Cove
One of the web's best-kept pirate secrets, Rob Ossian's (pronounced "ocean") Pirate's Cove is a great source for pirate reference - biographies and definitions, all presented clearly and conciesely.
RnD Rum Reviews
I don't normally link too many other rum review sites, being as I wish to keep my readers solidly within my iron-fisted grasp. But these lads seem to be making a quality run of things, and it would be a crime not to inform my devout following of rum-swilling lushes of their fine site.
Refined Vices
Another rum review site worthy of mention. Not that Bilgemunky's own rum reviews should leave you wanting. But if they do, then Refined Vices might help fill that void.
The Art of Age of Sail Terminology Database
If you're looking to brush up on your nautical vocabulary, this is a fine place to start.
Pyracy - the Pirate Reenactors Website
A budding resource for pirate reenactors in the UK.

The name frightens me, but it does seem to be about pirates.
Pirate-Treasures
Pirate Jewelry
Island Paradise Ballon Art
Pirate balloon art. And he also seems to have a parrot. Yar.
Rum Project

Jolly Pirates
A real pirate ship out of Aruba.
