What is this specific thing ye really like about Pirates most?

Please allow me to answer in this way
“Piracy in the Mediterranean The Maniot Pirates”
 Pirates and piracy must be studied and expounded as a form of early social resistance. The pirate had declared war on his rapacious ruler, had declared war on the insatiable aristocracy of his country, had declared war on the greedy Church authority, and, finally, he had declared war on that same society that isolated him. The pirate wanted what every person seeks in life, freedom, and was willing to sacrifice his very existence for that cause.

Why ye accepted to be a U.T.B.F. Captain?

Me and my brother Captain Black we are the founders of this great
brotherhood. We decided to share our passion for Pirate history That’s the reason we made U.T.B.F.We want to share and search the history pages of Piracy from the moment it started.

What is yer favorite pirate weapon?

Rapier and a fine flintlock pistol

What is yer favorite pirate ship?

Our ship of course, Arcadia

What is yer favorite pirate drink?

Nothing better from a glass of rum

What is yer favorite pirate song?

“Sea Fever”

What is yer favorite pirate word or phrase?

“I search for freedom and so I become a pyrate”
and “We obey No master Only the Black Flag”


What is yer favorite item in your pirate wardrobe?

Our BrotherhooD U.T.B.F.

Ye feel rather a blessed or a cursed pirate figure?

 I believe that I’m blessed, because we made such a fine brotherhood and i found many people that love pirates and I can share my passion with them.

Do ye believe that the pirates’ life is really fer ye?

Aye! Nothing better than pirate life.
