Maine Maritime Museum in Bath is having its 15th Annual Pirates Party this Saturday, October 30, 2010 from 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM.  They have filmed a rather remarkable commercial promoting the party, starring Tomm Tomlinson, a.k.a. Crudbeard, Barbara Tomlinson, better known as Bloodthirsty Barbara, and Jim Nelson, known to authorities as Black Jim Spudcake. The location is aboard the schooner Sherman Zwicker at Maine Maritime Museum.    Jim Nelson, when not in his role as Jim Spudcake,  is an award-winning author  of maritime fiction and non-fiction.  His history, George Washington’s Secret Navy, was the recipient of the Samuel Eliot Morison Award for Naval Literature.
