In the year 1999, the Bilge Pumps were just a loose collective of guys singing pirate tunes creating the beginnings of a band that would soon rob the world. Mwah-ha-ha! From our beginnings at Hawkwood when everyone nearby sang with us, to later in the year when the idea of a band started and Maroon started to invite in members to join in the fun, here are the places the fledgling pirate band roamed free. Somehow or another, we managed to lose a crew member, Elgin the Accountant, before we even had a crew together.... strange.
