Last time I was this early there was still some rum left

Great interview. I have read Kevin’s book great Author

Great interview, and a favorable take on the history I think, as a tarheel myself. Also a pleasant prologue to listen to as I made my hour+ drive to go sailing today. Happy 4th of July ya loyalist scum 🍻

Guy should write a historical screenplay

I recall when I was younger hearing about a lot of what Duffus was talking about on TV, maybe they interviewed him, but out of all the Blackbeard stories, his just made the most sense.

Disembark.. wonder if it means the boat

Aurthur Catt? British Privateer... Bahamas named an Island After him and a city, Aurthur twon.

I think galleons were used and built to a later date than 1650. The 1680s-1700s seems the cut off point for tall narrowing poop decks. I would define it as 250-300 tons minimum, two gun decks minimum (at least one exposed), but not optimized for more than 30-50 guns (or it becomes a pure warship), 3-4 masts (two with only square sails), plus a forecastle. The broad beam for cargo, tall tapering poop deck, and under 50 cannons for the cargo role (unless really huge?) are pretty unique to that style of ship.

You’re white?!

this sounds a lot like Charles Vane's season 1 plot line in Black Sails. Possible inspiration?

I don’t know if you take requests but a video on Edward Low would be awesome.

After the Tuscarora War, the Tuscarora relocated to Pennsylvania and interestingly planted apple trees while they were living here. If anyone from Pennsylvania was curious why a nation from the Carolinas had their name mentioned so much in PA. They later moved in New York. I definitely find Kevin Duffus's evidence and argument compelling. It makes much more sense than the General History of Piracy. I'm not saying I am 100% there, but his theory has definitely gained traction. He mentions a well, interestingly I've visited a water source at the entrance to the Delaware Bay that was once feshwater before the locals dug a trench from the bay to pollute it due to pirates and sailors landing for water and stealing from local farms.

Fascinating to hear about the political, economic, and cultural forces that are driving the hostile arguments about the true identity of Black Beard. I, too, have been doing historical research (1690s London) and have found errors, omissions, and mis-interpretations in conventional history accounts. "Archeologist assembling a jar from a few random shards" is exactly what it is like.

Wasn't Augustine a known homosexual?

holy shit bro you look like a pirate first time seeing your face, immaculate structures only fit for sailing the 7 seas

Blackbeard was pretty chill actually

beard sea men

History: "Bartholamew Robberts was the most famous pirate." Hollywood: "I've only ever heard of Black Beard, lets make hundreds of cheap copies of him for our fictional pirates on TV." History: "Well now Black Beard is the most famous pirate."

L’atmosphère de respect et de courtoisie ici est rafraîchissante. C'est un témoignage de la maturité de cette communauté.💝

Great video you should do Kingdom Come Deliverance and LA Noire they are most Historically accurate games i have seen.

Tu sen Taak!!! My Swedish Brother... Thank You for This Fantastic Video... 30% Of my Ethnicity is Swedish DNA! So, Tu Sen Tak my Wyking Brother In Arm... For Teaching Us Great Pirate Lore and History... As A descendant of The Wyking... Thank You... TheoryMaK15

if you wanna see some pirate sex on film, the closest i'd say exists is that Oliver Reed Greco-Roman wrestling scene in the movie Women In Love, they got the mustaches and beards right.

Yar, mateys! Part yer nates!!! Ugh-gug-gug-gug-gug!

The Queen Anne’s Revenge sank off the coast of North Carolina, not in the Caribbean. The Beaufort Maritime Museum ran a lot of the archeological work and has pieces from the wreck (and free admission - highly worth a visit for those who find themselves nearby).

No ads. Wierd.

Can you make a video about reliable books about the history of pyrates?

Okay, but where can I get that recipe for beer pancakes? 👀

Their sexual practices may have been influenced by … supply and demand … with supply the more determinant factor

I think the show struct a very smart balance between real history, and modern aesthetics. Made the show very easy to approach, and incredibly engrossing. I don't know anything about IRL sailing (at least not on vessels that large, I've only been on small sailboats) so I didn't notice many issues with the boats, other than yea, no sloops. But the costumes, ugh. I mean, on one hand, I appreciate the costumes, all 100% handmade, and I think all the characters look 'good', and usually pretty cool, but very fantastic, unbelievable, and not historical at all really. I'd still like to have Flint's coat though.

Don't tell Disney

Awesome!

😮

Butt Pirates!

love ur videos

😂😂😭 u the greatest

If you were so inclined, you could release an annotated version of this book fixing any errors.

Strange thing for a man in his 50s to say but I wish I could have been a pirate. Or a cowboy.

This is the most Swedish Short I've heard today. And it's about Pirates... Is this the origin of PirateBay? Lol..

Privatier list when ?

We rewriting history again?

I would do unspeakable acts to get an edition of General History that has footnotes that say, this detail is confirmed, this detail is nonsense, this has never been proven one way or the other.

Can't wait. Thanks

Even those some parts are most certainly fiction, is still very interesting as it was written around the pirate period. Still informative too see what parts of the pirate life the author wanted to exaggerate.

I cannot imagine a sailor being comfortable wearing iron and steel on the seas.

Nice stream and good to hear what happened from that point of view. I hope things go well with all involved in the drama. Cheers! 🏴‍☠ (BTW there was temporal halt of my channel membership due to technical issues and forgotten due date for the montly payment, but it should resume soon. Normally)

My take on this is that, absent "morality", sex is just seen as a biological need and function. Yeah, it can be fun too, but mostly when you need to release that sexual tension, they went with whatever was available that also turned them on to get them off. Maybe they preferred other men, or maybe they didn't care who (or what) they docked their dinghy in. Any port in a storm.
