@@GoldandGunpowderoh yeah

Glad I wasn't the only one who was caught off guard

No wonder, I was like “something’s off” throughout the video lol

He sounds like the evil vizier now lmao

It feels very intentional and it’s funny. Yet again he finds a new way to be entertaining Edit, just in case my comment is misunderstood: When I say "funny," I mean that in a more figurative way. Definitely could have used a better word. I mean that the change is interesting, caught me off guard, and I think an improvement. The part that is "funny" to me is the very, very interesting mix of some English (UK) ways of saying words with some American ways of saying words. The two general accent types use different ways of speaking, so being able to combine the two so seemingly smoothly is very impressive.

Nah ITS changes in the last few videos. I know some people complained about his accent in the past so I think it was a deliberate choice

No one actually knows that much about it and just parrot media, which think blackbeard was the tits

I think the brutality of Avery makes him less popular. That would be my guess at least

Avery's career didn't last that long. From the mutiny to the Ganj-i-sawai is a year and a month. More than later pirates who followed in his wake, Avery wasn't married to life as an outlaw - he set out to gain riches, obtained those riches, and then retired. In that regard he's more akin to a protagonist from a heist film than the romanticized image of a pirate that has passed down to us from popular culture. Even the capture of the Ganj-i-Sawai wasn't a solo venture - it was a collaboration by several famous names of the Pirate Round (of which Avery would effectively cheat out of their shares of the treasure after all was said and done). His legend is primarily the fact that he made his wealth and then had the good sense to quit and the good fortune to (seemingly) retire in peace. But good sense doesn't make for a good story. The later Caribbean pirates would get up to more legendary exploits even if they mostly ended up dead as a result of such exploits, exploits like the blockade of Charles Town and the burning of Panama City, the 'Republic of Pirates' on Nassau and Black Bart's string of over 400 prizes, the Skull and Crossbones and putting fuses in your beard. Compared to all that, the story about the guy who immediately beelined for the Indian Ocean, captured one big ship, and then quit just isn't that eye-catching. In addition there were other pirates who did manage to retire with their stolen riches. John Taylor is probably the most notable, who's co-capture of the Nossa Senhora do Cabo with Olivier Levasseur might well have been more valuable in total haul than the Ganj-i-Sawai. He was pardoned, (maybe) served for a time as a Spanish pirate-hunter, and then vanished from history just like Avery. Another one of the captains involved in the Ganj-i-Sawai raid was a Rhode Island tavern owner, he also retired not long after and his tavern, the White Horse Tavern in Newport, still stands today. A lot of other pirates could have retired had they been willing. Blackbeard was one, he was pardoned and it was only when he took back to the seas that he was hunted down and killed. The thrill of being an outlaw was just too much of a rush in many cases. But the smartest criminals were and still are often not the most 'pen-worthy' ones.

Well, a lot of the marooners were.

Pretty much every pirate after, & all of the ones of the “Golden Age”.

Reba McIntire wrote a song about this ship

The reason I decided to draw it without the quarter galleries was primarily because there would still be other facilities available at the beakhead at the bow, which is what the ordinary sailors would have used anyways. If the officers decided they really wanted to keep their own private seat of ease, this could easily be moved to the transom, which was already overhanging over the water, without the need for bulky quarter galleries. Or better yet, they could just use a chamber pot and dump it to leeward.

Imagine if it's guns were rifled 105mm guns firing high explosive shells

@@ab3ki84hayate 127mm . Take it or leave it.

So HMS Warrior from 1860?

Imagine if they carried p700 Granit missiles

Yeah, I am so confused.

@@GoldandGunpowder that response is even more baffling.

Most English vessels of this period would have had a lion figurehead, which is what I depicted on the Charles II. Dutch ships would have also had some winged mermaids accenting the lion, but other than that, there was relatively little variety in figureheads aside from the largest 1st rates.

He has done so ru-vid.com/group/PLQSjRW7kXy7xp4ocVtrydHjOtf0NnSSwH&si=KMyujdDscRBwADel

The channel has released three videos of naval artillery. This about the shots: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qmwzlP5rx7s.htmlsi=vqN2KzOpOLXoXlLh

Shot weight for guns had by this point been standardized by different states, and due to the realities of a human’s strength, these weights all tended to be roughly similar between countries, with minor differences.

​@@inquisitordonklas7928that's not what I was asking, I was asking where he got the information for the Fancy's armament from

I'm not sure what you're getting at here?

He's high​ @rambo-cambo3581

You know that modern guns are more powerfull and now warships main weapons are missiles right?

@@SeveralWeezelsInaTrenchcoat Are you by chance aware that when you jump a force of energy called gravity sucks you back down?

"mind" in this century referred to spirit, it means moreso "bound for adventure/destiny"

Thanks!

On God, now I can't unsee it.
