ReviewsBlack Pearl - 34 Years Ago I have no idea what the Black Pearl is like now, but if you're interested in the Black Pearl of 34 years ago, I have many fond memories. I was stationed at the Newport Naval Base, attending Officer Candidate School from 2/68 through 6/68. The course was divided into 4 months, roughly corresponding to the four years of the Naval Academy. I seem to recall that after the first month we were given "liberty" from Saturday afternoon, following inspection, until midnight Sunday.

The course was divided into 4 months, roughly corresponding to the four years of the Naval Academy. I seem to recall that after the first month we were given "liberty" from Saturday afternoon, following inspection, until midnight Sunday. My buddies and I from "Charlie Co." (a rogue outfit separately housed in old WWII barracks away from the other 15 companies) happened onto the Black Pearl and adopted it as our weekend home away from home. At that time, the BP was a scroungy, old, rough wooden floored, beer and chowder joint. But oh what beer and oh what chowder! Ice cold beer served in frozen mugs and steaming New England clam chowder, served from a pot on the back of the stove. The food was delicious, the waitresses cute, and the ambiance friendly. Sometimes the coeds from Salve Regina (I don't even know if it still exists) would wander in, and we'd drink and flirt the evening away. For three months our password was, "Let's meet at the Pearl." If it's anything like it used to be, go there. (If anyone from my era at OCS reads this, send me an email. I'd love to compare notes.)
