In the late 80's, while in the service, I was stationed with a Jamaican named Elvis. One morning he raised his coffee cup and made a toast to the 25th anniversary of Jamaican Independence. I asked how well his beloved island had faired since the the British left. He replied with a smile, "Went straight to Hell, man. Jamaicans can't run anything..."

When I was in Middle School in Dennis Massachusetts, Barry Clifford, the person that found the Whydah, brought the underwater film footage to our school, and we had a school assembly, and watched it.He lives in Dennis. Black Sam Bellamy, and the witch of Wellfleet. They are still pulling gold out of that wreck. There's a Pirate museum in Yarmouth dedicated to this story. The Whydah is the only authentic pirate ship ever found. If you go to that museum, you can watch them carefully restore the gold.

@kenmccahan414 Год назад

An excellent book, and I highly recommend it, if you like thus kind of history, mixed with a little Cape Cod folklore.. Master of the Sweet Trade: A Story of the Pirate Samuel Bellamy, Mariah Hallett, and the Whydah By Elizabeth Moisan "Samuel Bellamy, Maria Hallett, and the Whdyah Sam Bellamy is a sailor and willing to work, but he’d like a return on his effort that isn’t available to the people in his social class. He objects to living with laws he has no voice in making that favor the wealthy, and exact unjust punishments on the poor. To take a stand, he becomes an outlaw. He is a pirate, and the sweet trade of piracy is a capital crime. Mariah Hallett is a talented weaver with an unusual skill for healing animals that her neighbors both fear, and use when convenient. She is at the center of a controversy between two religious men, each determined to save her soul: One believes she is blessed, the other believes she is a witch. When she is accused murder, she is banished to live alone on the high moors overlooking the sea. The Whydah is a slave ship returning to England, her hold filled with the golden profits from trading in human beings. Captured by Sam and his crew, she is refitted as a pirate ship, heavily armed and loaded with plunder. Sam and Mariah are lovers and kindred spirits. He returns to her in the Whydah, and she’s waiting for him. But gold doesn’t float. Based in part on the little-known life Samuel Bellamy (1689-1717), Master of the Sweet Trade is set against portraits of pirate life on the high seas and the hardscrabble life on Cape Cod in the early 1700s. Elizabeth Moisan pulls together strands of history and legend, and with imagination, spins a tale of patience and trust between lovers; the struggle for liberty; and honor among thieves."

so besides the School Bus Yellow color, there was School Bus Orange in 1972, my Dad bought the 1943 Millys MB shown in my profile pic -- we lived at Ft. Huachuca (The jeep had been in N. Africa for WW2 -- big non-standard 2nd gas tank, under passenger seat.) When we visited my Grandparents the next summer, ahead of Mainz W. Germany & my Kindergarten in a Quonset Hut, he took it to the School Bus Paint Shed, where an H.S. friend put on thick Orange paint -- that lasted until ~2005 As to school buses for High School age, Seattle now has them only for mobility-impaired students -- the others get year-round unlimited County bus + lightrail passes

@timsmith5339 Год назад

I love your channel. I particularly like the way you cut through myths, legends and the just plain wrong, to get to the facts. As you say, this, as well as being more satisfying, is often more interesting than the fictions. On the subject of piracy, I wondered why more wasn't done to protect these ships that seemed so vulnerable to being attacked? Is it a case that we hear an unrepresentative sample when talking about pirates? Perhaps arming the trade ships as you describe was a proportionate response and in reality, only a small number out of vast numbers were pirated? Perhaps also, there were many successes in fending off their attackers. I should think there are many records of such occurrences, perhaps they would make an interesting episode some day? As these ships were famously insured, there must indeed have been a satisfactory number got through safely.

@kathyastrom1315 Год назад

Pirates show up a few times on my family tree! A cousin of my 9th great grandfather named Cornelius Quick helped out Captain Kidd by moving some of his booty around New York harbor. An 8th great grandfather John Frost was the captain of a ship that was captured by the pirate ship Le Grande on July 4, 1717 while going from Barbados to Boston. The complaint he filed In Portsmith, NH when he got back is the only reason I know that the ship was transporting not only rum and sugar, but also slaves, which was a big shock to me (I was smug in my geographic certainty that, since the family had been from Maine and New York, there would be no slaveholders or traders-wrong! Not only was he at the helm of a slave ship, there were several slave owners there as well). And my 12th great grandfather Jan Janszoon (or Jansen) was a Dutch privateer turned Barbary Coast Corsair. He should be featured here-he was also the president of the Republic of Salé and Grand Admiral of their fleet. Two of his sons moved to New Amsterdam where they had an extensive line of descendants.

I live in St Augustine FL and have been to spot where the 1st Thanksgivings Day took place (or the best guess by the local historians). My pirate character "The River Pirate" is based on a historical event that involved Captain Bannister defeating two Royal British warships at Samana Bay at the mouth of the Rio Yuna in Western Hispanola in 1686. We pirates are legendary because of the stories! I'm in Pirate character in most of my RU-vid videos. I love The History Guy videos! Always great content!

One of the last Pirates, here. "Ice Pirates" . The helicopter side of US Navy Squadron VXE 6 often , flew the Jolly Rodger from our hanger in McMurdo Antarctica. Several US Navy attack and Fighter squadrons going back to 1952 were called the "Jolly Rogers." It was a sign if pride and bitterness, as the Aviators were assigned some if the worst flying conditions in the world, but also it was a career ending assignment for most.

*FYI: a little note regarding Pyrite* Pyrite has actually gained in value, there some new uses and it has always also been valued in uses related to its properties in Crystal like uses. I particularly like it in jewelry and like creative use. When searching for Gold, the desire focus being profiting, then Pyrite would certainly pale in comparison, but when valuing it's beauty and other values, Pyrite is a most worthy find.

They say when folks are together long enough they take on each other's traits ... Everyone use to say, my late husband and I looked like Brother and Sister, a Ken and Barbie, I suppose that "trait thing, may have some foundation". ... and That's a *"Thought worth Remembering"* 💖

The name Barbarossa has been used a fair amount in fiction, and that's where I first encountered it as a kid. I find it odd that, given the amount I've read and watched on the subject of pirates, information about Barbarossa has rarely come up--nearly everything I heard in this episode about him was new to me. It's such a shame that he worked for the Ottomans...so many people became slaves because of him. Well, one of my favorite science fiction/fantasy (hard to classify it) series has one of the protagonists getting caught by Barbary pirates--and somehow is cured of the syphilis he'd been plagued with for years--The Baroque Cycle by Neal Stephenson. Now I feel like reading it once again. There's a kid's book that my oldest sister has, that I read in the late sixties. It includes a story about Blackbeard, and his demise. I'll admit that I was rooting for the pirates, and was really annoyed at the lieutenant who brought him down. I'm going to have to find out what the title is, so I can find a copy for myself.

@CalicoJackxx Год назад

As so often happens, the backstory can be more intriguing than the main story. Prior to the history that you have so we'll described, the English pirate/privater William Jackson successfully defeated the Spanish in several locations and thus opened the door for others Europeans to take on the Spainiard. The most interesting accomplishment was his defeat of the Spanish on Jamaica in 1643 and the discovery of "diverse Portuguese of the Hebrew nation who came into us seeking asylum, and promised to show us where the Spainiards hid thier gold" Fortunately, Captain Jacksons journal has been preserved (Camden Miscellany Vol XIII) And provided the motivation for Edward Kritzler to write the amazing book "Jewish Pirates of the Caribbean"
