I am really confused how this channel ended up in my subscriptions, I literally never even watched it. I promise I wasn't drunk 😂 but now I'm hooked so guess it all worked out!

[@HistoryofPirates]

This was Drunk3po basement channel! I changed it

Me too and I was like isn't that Jay's voice from Drunk 3PO? It was a lovely surprise and we love the videos! (Jay, our family met you at the Orlando Comic-Con, we were one of the many families wearing your Welcome to the Rebellion shirts.)

[@HistoryofPirates]

I love it! Thank you

im actually married to a descendant of jack, and shes a wonderful loyal woman. been married for 28 years

[@chefboyrbuj817]

@@youdontknowmyname211 nope were in canada. she has 4 brothers in england and 3 of them have the rackham last name. my wife did as well until we got married

[@paultaylor1814]

A great first start, Jay. I look forward to future episodes of this series. It's funny how things like history get really interesting once you get out of school, probably because nobody's trying to kill you with detail and the focus is on the big picture instead. Also, I didn't know there were female pirates, so I learned a thing or two as well.

[@HistoryofPirates]

So glad you enjoyed it

Love the channel jay!!!

[@HistoryofPirates]

Thank you so much

[@colbytutterow1060]

there’s some misinformation here, notably the Jolly Roger has no real historical presence outside of a fiction storybook from the 20th century about Jack Rackham, and Jack did accept a pardon in 1719, and while trying to go legitimate met Anne Bonny, who he began an affair with (she was married), after this affair was learned of by her husband, the two left with their own crew and Calico Jack was back.

[@HistoryofPirates]

I agree with you. This was the first video of the channel. I used two different sources. Now after reading about 15 different books there is so much more to tell. Also, depending on the book you read the information is different. I’ll be updating his story and bringing videos on top facts and the sources.

[@yourebarmy]

This is great J, but we need this history of the space pirate Rose Tiko!

[@HistoryofPirates]

Ok

[@spikeinmadness5005]

Is KZbin suppressing this channel? Because I searched the name word-for-word and it did not show up in the results. Anyway, you've earned another sub.

I notice the visuals got an editing touch up since V1, I like it!

[@HistoryofPirates]

Yes indeed! I really want this channel to be special. I took everyone’s advise and made it better

[@Jack-ky2ur]

I'm like a minute in this seems like what the inspiration was for the story of assassins creed 4 cos you meet vane and rackham and theres a guy called rogers who tries to pardon all the pirates lol
