Benjamin Hornigold is not only one of the most important figures from the Golden Age of Piracy, but the history of the Bahamas. In 1714 he established a pirate stronghold on the island of New Providence. The city of Nassau would blossom into an anarchic pirate state, known today as the Pirate Republic. The groundwork established by Hornigold, would then be reintegrated into the British colony, and flourish into the capital of an independent country.

Here's my pirate meme (only transformers fans will understand it) : (The pirates aboard the Royal Rover after Howell Davis' death) : Walter Kennedy (in Starscream's role) : I declare myself as the new captain!!!😎 Thomas Anstis (in Scrapper's role) : Wait, I'm a better navigator than you, I must rule!!!🧐 Bartholomew Roberts (in Soundwave's role) : Roberts superior! Anstis inferior!🤖 Thomas Anstis : Who are you calling inferior!!!???😡 Walter Kennedy : Nobody would follow an uncharismatic bore like you!!!😡 Thomas Sutton (in Rumble's role) : Hey, nobody calls Roberts uncrassimatic!!!!😡 James Skyrme (in Frenzy's role) : Yeah let's kick tailgate!!!!!😡😡😡 (And the fight begins) The pirates to each other : !@#%😡😡😡👊👊👊💥💥💥

Hornigold is one of if not my favorite pirate to hear about, glad we got a video on him.

@nathanirby4273 Год назад

I reenact colonial Spanish and Napoleonic era British Royal Artillery, and was just at the Battle of New Orleans reenactment, where I fell in with a group of Laffite's men, the pirates of Barataria Bay. They were a great bunch of guys, very dedicated and knowledgeable buccaneers, and I would love to see a video on the Baratarians in particular, or gulf coast piracy in general

@TheFoodReviewGuy Год назад

Would love if you made a video about the “Pirate Round of Africa and India. Including the ones who sailed it like Roberts, Every, and it’s founder Thomas Tew. Hope you keep up the good work!🏴‍☠️

@GoldandGunpowder Год назад

My intention is to produce and publish that video this year. Roberts didn't sail the round however

@unknowntrooper_2791 Год назад

A very good video, a nice look into Hornigold, the pirate with the most piratical name of them all! 🏴‍☠

I’ve been watching your channel for a while and one thing I’ve never understood is how small you are. You make well put together videos, and you’d think there’s a ton of people out there interested in pirates. Just never made sense to me

@Copperkaiju Год назад

He's focused mostly on the facts when many people might prefer the myths and he has a very thick accent that I often have trouble understanding. Even so, he's my favorite channel covering this topic.

I grew up in the lesser Antilles and thought I knew a lot of the lore. I'm glad that there's more to learn than the tales I was told as a kid on various islands. Most islands have a local.. usually hero.. and tales about encounters, but I never learned any of the backstory.

I have visited Nassau 11 times. The last 5 times as a garbed as the River Pirate 13! To me it is Hallowed ground for the Golden Age of High Seas Piracy. We had a couple of our Krewe of the 13 members inducted in the courtyard where Fort Nassau once stood. Major pirate street cred! Both were lady pirates! The surprising part I find is the local Bahamians are never taught the rich history of the Pirate era. They know a little about Woodes Rodgers but mostly the more recent history of the establishment of the country. The only historical Pirate any of them knew about was Blackbeard. None of them knew who Hornigold was or Calico Jack. They did know who Jack Sparrow was! lol! Enjoyed this video mate!

@otto2616 Год назад

On account of their norsemen heritage, do you think there were any Swedes or other Scandinavians that hoisted the black flag during the golden age? Edit: forgot you had a channel dedicated to Nordic countries on the Baltic, I’m just going to watch all of those videos now to make recompense.

@GoldandGunpowder Год назад

Sweden had very strict laws so it was hard for Swedes to emigrate. There were a lot more Danes active in the Caribbean. Richard Taylor, a pirate active in the 1720s, allegedly had some Swedes in his crew. Most notable named Swedish pirate was Peter Hoff, a navigator press ganged by Samuel Bellamy and later hanged

@sunandshadow6593 Год назад

It's been a while since you've done anything on a specific pirate so I'm eager to see the video at 4. Edit: I was 4 hours, 25 minutes late.

@BenthewildchildE750 Год назад

I believe that the game assassin’s creed black flag loosely, follows the story of Benjamin, though it should be noted that Edward Kenway was not the one to kill him.
