I love the video gold and gunpowder
currently playing skull and bones listening to this. I’ve watched a couple videos that you’ve done, absolutely amazing mind blowing stuff that I never knew.
My favorite vid this far. Also perhaps he was short but was called Long Ben as he had a long… sword or something well you figure out the rest. Anyway cheers!
bro u are delivering every weekend, several weekends in a row i know and eventually get an amazing mini doc from u, fucking hell, also finally every
The eye-blinking looks weird.
These fake adds are comedy gold 😂
Wait🤔so it is you🏴☠️🦜
For those sailors who did not possess hats, what did they wear? Surely bandanas, turbans, head scarves, or some other coverings were used even before the image of bandanas on pirates became popular. They'd keep the sun off, perform evaporative cooling, etc. It seems like too practical a garment to be without, if one has a choice in the matter. Ships get hot, there's almost no shade, and the wind is drying you out at the same time. Though I imagine the senior officers and other important personnel probably went unadorned so everyone could see who they were when they gave orders. Were there enough hats to go around? They seem like an item that would be easily blown off, knocked off or otherwise lost.
One unfortunate thing is I wish there were more painting or drawings of life back then in the golden age of priacy (and the times befor then). Because unfortunately no fault of your own it's just what exists, is mostly idealised non-contemporary paintings and drawings or some contemporary ones where there is a tiny sloop in the distance. I do always wonder what was Henry Avery's ship actually like back then, what did pirate towns loon liek or the ones they raided, what was the detailing on a trading ship in that time period. You have so many paintings of ships in the periods afterwards, but so few back then. It is quite a shame as it is such a fascinating period. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places and there are tons, if there are I'll be very happy to find out.
My favorite channel on YouTube rn man – keep the vids coming
Been waiting in this one for a minute. Another banger mate! 🎉
1: "Is your drunken botswain aboard?"
2: "What are you talking about?"
1: "That's the password"
2: "Password? For what?"
1: "For the mutiny, of course!"
How dumb you gotta be to tell someone what the password means 😂
One of these on Peter Easton would be amazing. He had 1500 men under him and told John Guy where he could establish a colony in Newfoundland far away from the area he controlled.
These ads man LMAO 🤣🤣
Can't believe that one of my favorite channels made a video about my favorite historical figure and released it on my birthday. I going to crack open some black spiced rum and become the most content man in the world.
Really digging the edits in the recent videos! Keep it up! 🏴☠️💪🏽
I’m using that promo code absolutely, here I come Mr Bridgman
The Jolly Rogers got a song bout Henry Avery
This man did what ever pirate in history sought out to do! Screw Blackbeard and hornigold! Henry is what every pirate wishes they where
I've enjoyed your videos from the start, but you really leveled-up recently. I love the "sponsor" commercials. Hilarious!
The great troll
I think an example that proves they were not the prudes we presume is a song that was written around the end if the golden age of pirates, called Black Joke, a black joke was slang term for female genitalia. It was a very popular song, and is bascially about the best prosti tute in the world and funny things that happens with her clients. They even named naval ships after the same, it would be the equivalent of naming a ship the USS WAP today. Ironically even the song talks about "in working a joke, as will lather like soap". The song was very popular for over 100 years
Jam a man of fortune
Henry Every is the one pirate that has it all.
I'd like a video going into more detail about the use of broccoli in pirate battles.
Un vídeo excelente, y los anuncios de patrocinadores ficticios dan mucha risa!
Maybe we can make Somalia the third Madagascar?
England allies with Spain for once and it produces the biggest pirate heist to date,
man
He basically comided grand larceny and gotta way with it
You cracking up while talking about the guy getting eaten by a shark in Jamaica (was he naked in the painting?)…..that was priceless!
I am so sad that today very few places are taking up this ancient tradition of piracy. I mean how many office drones will throw it all in for A few years of adventure and fun. A few years if lucky that is .
Henry Every's story would make a great movie
Bar B Queue! – Bar-B-Que for Capting!!! GRIN Bravo, another excellent video. Some of the animation is fun. Excellent research and delivery backed with great visuals. I couldn't resist opening with that = The Best version of the classic Story ever put to film. I think we agree. May Good Luck be upon You. B.
The fake add is like the reward for sticking around
In the illustration of the bounty mutiny, were those apple/lemon trees on the stern? That's a brilliant never ending food anti scurvy source solution if I've ever seen one
amazing video as always. keep up the good work!
The quality of your videos are getting better!
We're making out of Nassau with this one!
There are many ways to rate the “greatest” pirate. Every is the King because he got away with it & did so in style.
That awkward moment when you execute your captain and jump ship for the enemy only to find out 2 months later nobody was ever at war in the first place
William Dampier is truly the Forrest Gump of pirate history. He's always just there, showing up tangentially.
Lol this dude reads old pirate porn as a hobby
epic content
the random red sea raiding party teamup thing is like something straight out of an mmorpg
I gotta come back to this video later
Please make a video about Jean Lafitte
Given Henry's abilities as a master propagandists. He likely put in motion most of the early stories about his fate to force himself into obscurity
