Ahoy there! It has come to the attention of our eagle-eyed bloggers that some frankly lawless behaviour and quite blatant swashbuckling took place at Liverpool's Albert Dock this weekend. Members of the public were seen sporting eyepatches and the skull and crossbones was flying proudly from a number of craft.
And what's more, far from cowering in terror from the piratical invasion, staff at the Dock's shops, restaurants and museums seemed to be joining in, dressing up in full pirate regalia, and providing essential pirate supplies to the masses.
This reporter is appalled to note that the citizens of Liverpool looked on and cheered as dastardly pirates like Frenchy Hawkins, Greybeard and Calico Jack of the vessel 'Vilma' took on the sailors of the tallship Zebu in a fight to the death (well, almost).
It would seem that this, the first Mersey Pirate Muster was to celebrate Liverpool's pirate past, and it's waterfront present. Town dispatcher, the Liverpool Echo takes up the story........
