William Dampier is truly the Forrest Gump of pirate history. He's always just there, showing up tangentially.

[@HBlackburn]

Can't believe that one of my favorite channels made a video about my favorite historical figure and released it on my birthday. I going to crack open some black spiced rum and become the most content man in the world.

[@diaperfang5293]

[@colemock3542]

Men only want one thing and it’s disgusting 😂

England allies with Spain for once and it produces the biggest pirate heist to date, man

[@chaz865]

the random red sea raiding party teamup thing is like something straight out of an mmorpg

[@jonathangodin4775]

This man did what ever pirate in history sought out to do! Screw Blackbeard and hornigold! Henry is what every pirate wishes they where

[@CalebWiley-iq1oi]

These fake adds are comedy gold 😂

[@snapdragon6601]

I agree. I look forward to them in every episode. 👍

[@jrt818]

ADS, but agree.

bro u are delivering every weekend, several weekends in a row i know and eventually get an amazing mini doc from u, fucking hell, also finally every

[@phillandon4127]

"Is the drunken Bos'un aboard....." I'm a say that every time I walk into the Bar from here on out.

[@PotatoeJoe69]

1: "Is your drunken botswain aboard?" 2: "What are you talking about?" 1: "That's the password" 2: "Password? For what?" 1: "For the mutiny, of course!" How dumb you gotta be to tell someone what the password means 😂

[@GrudgeyCable]

3. Who’s drunk? 2. Idk some bosun apparently 3. And? 2. Idk dude you ask him! I’m so confused 1. It’s a fucking password you idiot 3. Password for what?? 1. THE FUCKING MUTINY! 2. there’s a mutiny?? Where 1. omg these ppl.. I don’t even wanna do this anymore I’m going home. 3. What’s that guys problem?? 2. Idk he’s one of those Charles II crew ppl. Nobody likes them. 3. No joke.. so you wanna go hangout with that drunk bosun he sounds pretty cool?.. 2. Maybe later we should prolly report this mutiny. 3. What mutiny?? 2. Shut up Joe.

[@LadyTylerBioRodriguez]

The story can be summed up as, they got lucky. Lucky to escape the harbor. Lucky to run into a treasure fleet. Lucky they missed the volley. Lucky the mast fell and the cannon blew up. Lucky a lot managed to escape the wrath of England. If this was a film you'd rightly say its contrived as hell.

[@FLStelth]

I've enjoyed your videos from the start, but you really leveled-up recently. I love the "sponsor" commercials. Hilarious!

[@user-ew2mk7ps3k]

I love the video gold and gunpowder

[@Alex-cw3rz]

One unfortunate thing is I wish there were more painting or drawings of life back then in the golden age of priacy (and the times befor then). Because unfortunately no fault of your own it's just what exists, is mostly idealised non-contemporary paintings and drawings or some contemporary ones where there is a tiny sloop in the distance. I do always wonder what was Henry Avery's ship actually like back then, what did pirate towns loon liek or the ones they raided, what was the detailing on a trading ship in that time period. You have so many paintings of ships in the periods afterwards, but so few back then. It is quite a shame as it is such a fascinating period. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places and there are tons, if there are I'll be very happy to find out.

[@lc1138]

Same feeling, mate. I plundered a stock of franco-belgian comics in search of 1660's things. All I found is later stuff of, let's say, the tricorn era. It was still usable for a TTRPG campaign, but I really miss the large hats and fluffy wigs.

[@unknowntrooper_2791]

My favorite vid this far. Also perhaps he was short but was called Long Ben as he had a long... sword or something well you figure out the rest. Anyway cheers!

[@TheOldTomster]

The eye-blinking looks weird.

[@homuraakemi493]

How rude

[@SackyShorts-_-]

My favorite channel on KZbin rn man - keep the vids coming

[@michaelsmith8028]

The quality of your videos are getting better! We're making out of Nassau with this one!

[@Alex-cw3rz]

I think an example that proves they were not the prudes we presume is a song that was written around the end if the golden age of pirates, called Black Joke, a black joke was slang term for female genitalia. It was a very popular song, and is bascially about the best prosti tute in the world and funny things that happens with her clients. They even named naval ships after the same, it would be the equivalent of naming a ship the USS WAP today. Ironically even the song talks about "in working a joke, as will lather like soap". The song was very popular for over 100 years

[@koltoncrane3099]

Haha I can see it now. The pentagon to be more politically correct has renamed a ship the USS WAP as part of their renaming of Military installations etc.

[@piro_agua1363]

these new sponsor segments are truly wonderful

[@ScottRyanWilliams93]

currently playing skull and bones listening to this. I’ve watched a couple videos that you’ve done, absolutely amazing mind blowing stuff that I never knew.

[@LadyTylerBioRodriguez]

Perfect subject, as the Captain Freeman character is blatantly Every.

[@deansch6089]

Been hoping for this one for a while. Thank you!

[@GrudgeyCable]

Been waiting in this one for a minute. Another banger mate! 🎉

[@spamman9327]

Hour long Gold and Gunpowder video 🤯 I think im in haven, a pirate haven

[@levimark9810]

amazing video as always. keep up the good work!

[@James-lt9mh]

One of these on Peter Easton would be amazing. He had 1500 men under him and told John Guy where he could establish a colony in Newfoundland far away from the area he controlled.

[@Electriceye1984bySam]

Still love your channel man ❤keep up the great work, Thank you!

[@doublerlifeRR]

This content is excellent. Thanks for your efforts

[@ethansmith8813]

Given Henry's abilities as a master propagandists. He likely put in motion most of the early stories about his fate to force himself into obscurity

[@dean5389]

Hey Willem. I just want you to know this video caused me to go down a rabbithole of research that i have still not emerged from. thanks!

[@1323WTF]

Bar B Queue! - Bar-B-Que for Capting!!! GRIN Bravo, another excellent video. Some of the animation is fun. Excellent research and delivery backed with great visuals. I couldn't resist opening with that = The Best version of the classic Story ever put to film. I think we agree. May Good Luck be upon You. B.

[@merafirewing6591]

Henry Every is the one pirate that has it all.

[@bookofroger]

These ads man LMAO 🤣🤣

[@jakegarvin7634]

That awkward moment when you execute your captain and jump ship for the enemy only to find out 2 months later nobody was ever at war in the first place

[@autonomous_collective]

Great work and video.

[@mageillus]

Really digging the edits in the recent videos! Keep it up! 🏴‍☠️💪🏽

[@The_ZeroLine]

No reason to be suspicious of a deal 5,000 times too good to be true. I love you not being able to hold your laughter at that terrible knockoff of that engraving. 😂

[@jarodmasci3445]

You cracking up while talking about the guy getting eaten by a shark in Jamaica (was he naked in the painting?).....that was priceless!

[@user-oh4fp7gc6w]

"The password for the mutiny of course!" 😂😂😂 Kinda defeats the purpose of a password

[@paulsteele8614]

Really enjoyed this one

[@Vicus_of_Utrecht]

I gotta come back to this video later

[@GAIVSCALIGVLA]

I haven’t been watching the pirate videos because it’s just not my thing but good job, this was great.

[@sparkyfromel]

taking turtles had also the advantage that they could be kept alive on deck for a while , providing a temporary supply of fresh meat

[@unoriginalusername1284]

I'd like a video going into more detail about the use of broccoli in pirate battles.

[@Katze5335]

I’m using that promo code absolutely, here I come Mr Bridgman

[@jakemcnamee9417]

I am so sad that today very few places are taking up this ancient tradition of piracy. I mean how many office drones will throw it all in for A few years of adventure and fun. A few years if lucky that is .

[@dubsteperdancer]

Do a video on The Pirate Queen, Ching chi... Zheng Yi Sao.. please and thank you, I love all of these videos. Very knowledgeable.

In the illustration of the bounty mutiny, were those apple/lemon trees on the stern? That's a brilliant never ending food anti scurvy source solution if I've ever seen one

I think he got killed and robed by his mates in Dunfanaghy. It's the most likely reason for his sudden disappearance.

Please make a video about Jean Lafitte

[@ralphstern2845]

Dampier discovered Australia

[@lionofthemorning7997]

There are many ways to rate the “greatest” pirate. Every is the King because he got away with it & did so in style.

[@johnhiggs325]

8:54 I sometimes forget just how inbred the European nobility had become by the early 18th century. Charles was truly a physical and mental mess.

Ah, so I see the sponsor of this video is Bitcoin... Backed by the "blockchain" - LOL. Dutch tulips!

Yt said this on April 1st? Not a joke then?

But what was the fate of The Fancy?

She was run aground before Avery and his crew disappeared.

He basically comided grand larceny and gotta way with it

[@snapdragon6601]

Does anyone else remember a computer game that came out in the early 1980's for the Apple II called Taipan? I spent many, many hours sailing from one port to another, upgrading ships, and learning the fine art of buying low and selling high to make a profit...Especially Silk and chests of Opium. Good Times! 👍 😄
