Pirate Flag: Don't Give Up The Ship

Arrgh! My pirate project is slowly coming together :) This is one part of the big illustration that I'm working on. The quote is from Oliver Hazard Perry; it's a Lake Erie thing. The text was placed on top of it to get an idea of how big it should be, but I think I'm going to need to create my own pirate looking type to have it flow better on the flag. What do you think?
