( CNN ) -- Scores of would-be swashbucklers found themselves in need of rescuing Saturday night when their ship -- the Pirate 's Ransom -- ran aground in west Florida , a government spokeswoman said . The pirate-themed ship was actually one of two vessels in and around Clearwater whose passengers inadvertently celebrated New Year 's Eve on shore , rather that at sea . The other ship -- the Island Time -- went aground while trying to take some of the first ship 's passengers ashore , said city public safety spokeswoman Elizabeth Watts . Eventually , fire and police boats ended up ferrying the 100 passengers on the Pirate 's Ransom safely back to shore , as intended . One 77-year-old female passenger was `` checked out at the scene , but refused treatment , '' said Watts . The Pirate 's Random is the vessel of one `` Captain Memo , '' whose website invites `` briny buccaneers and seafaring seadogs '' to join his crew in feasting , drinking and searching for dolphins . Memo 's mates include wenches , like `` Take Your Treasure Terri , '' and captains like `` Gangplank Gary '' and `` Scurvy Steve . '' Watts said that `` fog is believed to be a factor in the ships running aground . ''
