You can at least live on a tall ship in many places. Pay is shit and work is hard, but they're always looking for people.
And I know a few full time living history types. Some paid to do it but most just do it. You can just wear a tricorn and a robe anglaise all day every day if you want. There's no law they can't stop you and your Panniers will keep them at a safe distance (This post brought to you by Da Share Zone)
There's a dope yearly race too that goes between Scotland, Norway, England, and the Netherlands. I went to the one in Shetland this year with some friends. Every stop is basically a festival with music and stalls and beer and fireworks etc. So the crews sail for 4-7days each leg and then party for 2-3 days and then do it again, and again, and again. It seems pretty cool.
Wish I could live on a giant wooden ship and tour the coast as a historical pirate re-enactor, teaching people about how pirates lived.
That feel when you're given hardtack and grog every day and have a lot of chores.
I mean, people in living museums have homes and eat normal food, I don't see why that wouldn't be allowed on boat.
I know; I was being silly.

We love our beautiful boaters, don't we folks!?
If you were really, really good at it, you could probably find a way to do it for a living. Steep learning curve though
Just gotta find 80 other history nerds and theatre kids who know how to sail...
