Account moved from ~xpirateobsessedx(Because I have learned the error of my ways and now despise pirates.
Though they are still better than ninjas.)Hello and welcome to my humble dA profile.
I'm a volunteer member of the Maintenance and Sail Crew at the Maritime Museum of San Diego. I'm lucky enough to sail aboard the lovely ships of the Maritime Museum,
Star of India,
Californian, and HMS
Surprise. I love sailing tall ships, and try to get out on the water at least once a week.
Though sailing with the Maritime Museum is what I live for, I'm also a student studying history during the school year. Life goal at present: to get my degree and then join a live-aboard tall ship and see where that takes me.

I'm a fan of the 'comment when faving' idea, so if you want to fave any of my stuff, I'd very much appreciate it if you'd comment as well!
