Since you mentioned Bartholomew Roberts for a brief moment, I think it would be great it you made his biography, followed by another video about his ship, the Royal Fortune. Btw, you make great content and surely deserve more subs🙏🏻
i like how accurate/inaccurate AC4 was. So much of this video is technically in the game, but muddled and interpreted in it's own way. It's interesting to now know in which way the puzzle pieces really fit
Perhaps Charles Vane is the one who inspired the vision of pirates being revolutionaries. Conservative rebels, but rebels still. Clearly better than the prospecting Flying Gang. Oh and, if only he had BlackBeard's support, not only would the latter survive, but also we could have seen the rise of a potential Silver Age of Piracy.
I have studied Pirates for almost 20 years and u have still taught me information I have never heard. Also your humor makes it that much more entertaining. Thank you for these
This was much more detailed than everything else I could find. I'm not sure how much of it is backed by historical evidence, but it's a great story. Thanks.
Hey I'm a new subscriber, I saw at the end a comment about longer videos. I completely agree I'm binge watching your stuff and I would much prefer a longer format say 30 minutes or near to. Thanks greet content I'm hooked
Thanks for finally being the one to get me into Pirates! It'd was on my radar for a bit of time beforehand, but discovering your channel on /his/ led me to finally get it! I was the one who advised you not to shill too hard btw.
@@GoldandGunpowder I actually only recently started checking up on your new content. Shortly before buying Pirates! myself. I'm looking forward to looking through the backlog.
I liked this video a lot. I am the author of 'Dark Waters the True Story of Blackbeard'. I was wondering if you have an idea of how Ann Bonny escaped jail? Did someone bribe officials to get her out or did she simply escape? What happened to her after she got out of jail?
@@GoldandGunpowder Zakk Mcgowan did a great job as actor, Charles vane in the tv serie black sails looks so cool,powerful,strong personality....don't know how much the real Vane was like the interpretation of the actor. what do you think?
Good show based of the book treasure Island you should differently read it but sadly they left out slot of factual information especially when it came to some of the deaths
I feel like most of the Pirates would be steeped in lore and myths about themselves. Most would have probably done very very nasty things to show how crazy they where and spread those tails. It sure is unfortunate that they still didn't give a shit about the slaves. If it was me i definitely would have appreciated having more help or set them free. It is so sad the way the world treats one another the biggest thing about being on a ship to me and running the 🏴☠️ would be how everyone is equal !
Yes, YES! Longer videos please!! But only if they are informationally dense. There is nothing worse that long RU-vid videos that are bloated with padding. But you already said it: the videos should be as long as they need to be. BTW it was a pleasure to hear Charles Vane fleshed out so properly here. His bullshit depiction on Black Sails was one of the main reasons I stopped watching that series full of impossibly pretty people and lowbrow writing.
@@GoldandGunpowder I didn't ask that. I asked if he was as sadistic in real life as he was portrayed in it or if it was all hype. He was also in the Netflix/Starz series Black Sails.
since i haven't seen his portrayal so i have no comparison, you'll have to make up your own mind with that knowledge and the information provided in the video
Just a point of English. Hung until he turned blue. Not Hanged. Hanged is when the person dies. Hung is when they don't die. As in "Hung, Drawn and Quartered", or possibly when sentenced to be "Hung by the neck until dead!". Soz for being pedantic. I get bored pmsl. Loving all ya vids though.
@@GoldandGunpowder the pop up cards were/are actually great little factoids of high interest. The problem is this : How are we supposed to read this trivia while you are still narrating the story !? It makes no sense. We either have to pause the video or rewind it. If only the video had some sort of lull points then it would be proper to insert the pop ups, but idk how or where you would add such lull points or if they would detract from the video !! ( I guess it could be done the way tv does it by inserting them after or before commercials & then resuming the story ! )
"Towards the North-End of Jamaica they also met with a Turtle Sloop, bound in for that Island, on Board of which (after having first plundered her) they put the Captain of the Kingston, and some of his Men, and all the Passengers, except the two Women, whom they kept for their own Entertainment, contrary to the usual Practice of Pyrates, who generally sent them away, least they should occasion Contention.

You have clear and cogent material. However, your "Did you know" interruptions of yourself are unnecessarily distracting. For me, I rather you just find a way to fit them into your insightful narratives. Cheers.
