Me, when I was 15 or 16, maybe?
I was Ensign "Magellan" 8Q.
Long before Admiral 8Q.
Seriously though, I probably wasn't old enough to shave yet. I do remember that ship. And I did make that costume myself.
Still have it actually.
I earned my tricorn 'pirate' hat by the time I was 19. Heh Heh!
Then Commander 8Q.
Actually, that was a cool real sailing ship. Had diesels though for backup power. (Actually main power since the crew were lazy and didn't like rigging the sails, other than for show)
