Hoist the sails and raise a toast to N.C. Wyeth, who was born on this day in 1882! And don't miss your chance to join us on Saturday, Nov. 1 at our Buccaneers’ Bash for a night of swashbuckling fun inspired by Wyeth's legacy of imagination in Brandywine's tented (and heated!) courtyard.

There's still time to get your tickets for this festive evening that benefits Brandywine's education and engagement programs! And as an extra special treat, we're excited to share that one lucky guest will win two sneak peek tickets to see Wyeth’s newly-restored monumental mural, "Apotheosis of the Family," before it opens to the public later this year.

Those joining us can lean into the fun with pirate-inspired fashions (or your favorite cocktail attire!), and then we'll dance the night away with lively tunes from the Vince Brown Band and other swashbuckling entertainment throughout the night. The evening will also include food stations and a full bar—complete with signature cocktails and mocktails.

It's about time (but what's up with that Frank Frazetta / John Carter of Mars sword?). 🦜🏝🤺📽🏴‍☠️

With this spectacular romantic adventure, a new era of Hollywood swashbuckling was born, as was a devilishly dashing star named Errol Flynn.

With reference to Charles II and James II, and, by implication, to the Monmouth Rebellion and Glorious Revolution.

When the government is often behaving unchecked by the law, the idea of a binding contract is a fantasy.

J. Carrol Naish, whose best film lines were surely from Sahara, in which he plays an Italian POW who gives a famous anti-Nazi, anti-Fascist speech, entirely relevant today in the US:

"Mussolini is not so clever like Hi**er, he can dress up his Italians only to look like thieves, cheats, murderers, he cannot like Hi**er make them feel like that. He cannot like Hi**er scrape from their conscience the knowledge right is right and wrong is wrong, or dig holes in their heads to plant his own Ten Commandments- Steal from thy neighbor, Cheat thy neighbor, Kill thy neighbor! But are my eyes blind that I must fall to my knees to worship a maniac who has made of my country a concentration camp, who has made of my people slaves? Must I kiss the hand that beats me, lick the boot that kicks me? NO!"

The photo is a publicity still from Captain Blood in which the actor plays Cahusac, Levasseur's lieutenant (or quartermaster, if you want to be historically accurate).
