BUCKETS OF INK have been spilled immortalizing Britain’s buccaneers, privateers and sea dogs. Sir Henry Morgan, William Kidd, Blackbeard, and Sir Francis Drake are legends.
Similarly, the French have their pirates Francois "Peg Leg" Le Clerc and Francois l'Olonnais, while the Dutch celebrate the exploits of their most famous corsair Piet Hein.
And although history remembers these nations` swashbucklers, a number of other countries have their own pirate heroes (and villains), as well — many of which you’ve probably never even heard of. Consider these:

One of the more interesting but less documented pirates is Grace O'Malley.
Here is a bit about her.
Grace O’Malley (a. 1530 - 1603) is one of the most famous pirates of all time. From the age of eleven, she forged a career in seafaring and piracy and was considered a fierce leader at sea and a shrewd politician on land. She successfully defended the independence of her territories at a time when much of Ireland fell under the English rule and is still considered today ‘the pirate queen of Ireland.’

The University College Cork of Ireland, Archaeology Department is studying 88 Viking-age hoards.
This project will result in the publication of study and catalogue of the eighty-eight Viking-age gold and silver hoards containing non-numismatic material of Scandinavian character from Ireland, c. AD 800-c.1000, and will discuss these finds in the context of related hoards from Britain and Scandinavia. Undertaken in conjunction with the National Museum of Ireland, this project details the hoards and their components and examines the social and economic impacts of the Vikings on early medieval Ireland.

Yesterday I posted photos of a tag found by Jamminjack. Here is what he said he learned about that.
Got an email from someone saying that it is a Surveyor's license number. I checked with Property Appraisal and it is connected to Donald A. Maclean 2047. He surveyed a lot of land in this area. They could not give me a specific time period(?) but said it had been a long time ago. If they had the location of the property then they could give me more info. He could had surveyed the land before the park was built or could be dirt from elsewhere.----
Nothing interesting in the surf predictions. It is still breezy and the tides are decent.
