While visiting Galveston for Dickens, The Bilge Pumps pirated some keys to the gate (even though it was open) and stole aboard the tall ship Elissa, anchored at the Texas Seaport Museum and owned by the Galveston Historical Society.
The Bilge Pumps singing "Drunken Sailor" on the quarterdeck of the Elissa.... right before we show everyone!
|
The Bilge Pumps singing "Sailor's Prayer" near the ships wheel on the Elissa. The crew's probably praying we'll shut up.
|
Another shot of us singing near the helm. By now, the crew is gathering weapons.
|
A rag-tag band of singers has boarded the Elissa.
|
That lady's got a nice front side to her, she does!
|
We all decide we can't resist the photo op amidships near the shrouds (that's the rigging in the background for ye landlubbers).
|
It's almost sickening to watch how this group can mug it up!
|
Here's a shot of the grand lady's sails and rigging lines.
|
The rigging lines of the Elissa will confuse ya so bad you fall in the ocean if you stare too long.
|
Gun's up, boys! Them women ain't gonna come over here without some persuading!
|
Mitch, Phil, and Maroon clown around with one of the crew. Meanwhile, she plots their demise.
