Abstract:

History comes to life—of pirates, in particular—through a group of actors whose show became part of the state’s Bicentennial activities. These thespians—in real life, including a family of six—included in their reenactment of life on the high seas a ship, the Meka II. The ship that’s also their home was built by the man who may be called Captain, but is called Horatio Sinbad by his family, Ross Morphew.
