Grace O'Malley's Authentic Irish Pub and Restaurant in Norfolk, Virginia, U.S.A..
Attachment 49052
Grace O'Malley was a 16th Century Irish Pirate Queen, of whom I had not heard until I read Wentworth's article in the thread he started.

An excellent find Dave. Well done for tying it in.

I just had a browse myself and found a number of pubs named in her honour.
Here is one in Fairfield Conneticut. From the similarity of the facia signage it looks as if they are a chain of pubs.

Here is Grace O'Malley's in Toronto, Canada.

And here is her bar in Corruna.
This pub in Brookline, Massachusetts is called Grainne O'Malley's. Grainne is an Irish version of the pirate queen's first name and my guess is that it may have been chosen to avoid any legal problems from the Grace O'Malley's pub chain.

There’s plenty that’s unique about the Bonny Cravat - not least the name. For while nobody truly knows where it comes from (some say the pub was a meeting point for smugglers who traded with Frenchmen using a boat called La Bonne Curvette), the pub’s title is a genuine one-off in Britain.
The most famous female pirate was probably Anne Bonny. Ann Bonny's Bar and Grill is on a boat moored on the bank of the Cape Fear River in Wilmington, North Carolina.

After 240 years, archaeologists may have solved the mystery of the HMS Endeavour
September 19, 2018
In August 1778, three years into the American War of Independence, 13 ships were scuttled off the coast of Rhode Island. Among them was a vessel called the Lord Sandwich II. Once known as HMS Endeavour, it was 100 ft (30 m) of oak, elm, and pine—and the vessel on which captain James Cook had reached Botany Bay, on the east coast of Australia, eight years earlier, changing the course of history Down Under.
For nearly 250 years, this ship has lain undisturbed and elusive, gradually disintegrating in an unknown spot on the New England seabed. But after a 25-year archaeological study of the area, researchers are honing in on the wreck.
In a statement, the Rhode Island Marine Archaeology Project said it had pinpointed the ship’s final resting place. The search is down to “one or two” sites, the BBC reports. By 2020, experts say, the vessel may be definitively identified and partially excavated—just in time for the 250th anniversary of Cook’s voyage to Australia.
