Support Black Jack Cannon's Dream Ship

Donation protected

I'm known as Black Jack Cannon captain of Jack's Revenge in the pirate community, I've spent two and a half years and $20,000 out on my own pocket building this amazing 30 ft pirate ship, to use in parades and pirate events to help make memories in the pirate community, I've got hundreds of hours in building this, I've never asked for any help or any financial help, this is all been solely me, I've had a little help here and there but not much, I waited 2 years to have this in the Tybee Island Pirate Fest in 2024, unfortunately it did not make it due to structural issues, I hired a welder to beef up the mainframe system but in return they ruined it for me, let's just say they weaken the old frame and the new frame and charged me $1,200, I was so frustrated and heartbroken at that time, I've got too much time and money to just let this go and not do anything with it, I have to push forward to see this through, Jack's Revenge has to sail in 2025, I'm not one to ask or beg for money, but I'm in the position to where I have to lower my pride to see this happen, I have to add a whole new frame under the ship and add a fourth axle, unfortunately I'm looking at $4,000 for this, I can make this happen but I will struggle, so I've told you my story and now I'm reaching out to the pirate community for help, it's not something I want to do but I've been told by several is something I need to do, I know a lot of you will get to see the ship, and sail on the ship and I know there's some of you all that won't, but I'm just asking for the support of the pirate community to see this dream mine happen this year, I know there's a lot of good people out there, with a little help from everyone this can happen, I've seen prayers answered in numbers so I know this is possible, if you can help support this dream of mine I greatly appreciate it from the bottom of my heart, every little bit goes a long way! All funds will go directly to the ship only to help it sail in 2025, if you can or can't help i appreciate everything! I'm so looking forward to see this ship sailing in 2025 and sharing the memories with my pirate family! I'm working on trying to come up with some sort of thank you gift for any donations, I just need some time and I can't wait any longer that's why I'm asking now, time is flying by so fast and if I don't act or ask for help now it will be too late and she will not see another year to sail! So again I'm asking for any help in anything goes a long ways, I appreciate each and everyone for the love and support of me throughout the last 9 years of me being a pirate! I so look forward every time I get the chance to spend time with you and I also look forward to get to finally meet some the Pirates I'm friends with on Facebook, I look forward to a wonderful 2025 pirate season! Again thanks for everything I hope you all have a great day, I love you guys!
