@@PBSSoCal Nice! KZbin needs to step up their suggestion game. I'm a SpaceTime, Eons, and Be Smart subscriber, plus seen almost every episode of Funhaus. Took them way too long to recommend me this channel.

[@PBSSoCal]

Glad you eventually found us!

[@yoalyrodriguez94]

I love this series! Having an expert provide their insight in relation to a videogame is such a neat concept. I bet a lot of us have been inspired to learn more about a topic after playing a game, I know I have.

[@PBSSoCal]

Thanks for watching. So glad you're enjoying it!

[@killertofu90]

Ah, so good to see Elyse! I was just wondering yesterday what Elyse and James were doing now after FH.

[@mattkidroske]

"Pirate Historian" is an awesome way to be introduced

[@luischavez6396]

Elyse is a star, so glad to see her do something so amazing and with PBS!!

[@kingbaard5395]

YES I FINALLY FOUND ELYSE.

There are bunch of sunken ships near the island I live in Kotka, Finland. They are from the Battle of Svensksund in 1790. They are really hard to dive, and it's strictly regulated, but they have found some really cool bounty. There is an exhibition for, and there is even a wooden peg leg.

About the eyepatch and the mythbusters epsidode, she got it backwards!! Adam has a video on his channel Tested about how the eyepatch was a good myth and it absolutely worked to be able to maintain one eye always adapted to darkness and be able to utilize it in a useful manner. Great video as always!

Im here for the booty and the excellent editing blurbs & tooltips that are TOP TI-ERRRRRRRGH MATEY 🏴‍☠️

[@LadyTylerBioRodriguez]

Okay I must note the origins of walking the plank that goes further back then Treasure Island. A General History mentions the Romans using ladders lowered into the water, probably fictional but its a similar idea. There was a case in the 1760s of mutineers making a hated jailer walk over the railing to his death which might be the origin of the claim. By the 1830s it was a common enough trope to appear in books like Charles Ellms Pirates Own Book. From there it drifted into pirate literature and eventually Stevenson.

[@divineglitch9550]

Ok so muppets are real pirates im glad we got that cleared up

[@katiejo5436]

Tim Curry would never lie to us!

[@halfhero]

Now I've got the iconic nautical safety anthem "Ban the Tube Top" by Reel Big Fish stuck in my head. Great episode, thanks!

[@PBSSoCal]

🤘 Thanks for watching.

[@kingdanger5816]

I think my Pavlovian reaction is to remind everyone that ska came before reggae

[@user-ue8il6jx3b]

But did you know that reggae came from ska?​@@kingdanger5816

[@jasonhunter2819]

Pieces of eight? Once again, the most historically accurate pirate game is...of course...Curse of Monkey Island!

[@eavids128]

You guys have cool music!

[@Archinabald]

Lovely video thanks!

[@PBSSoCal]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ourpez]

Great video as always!

[@PBSSoCal]

Thanks for watching!

[@pcaetano7527]

You talked about walking the plank, but you failed to mention Keelhauling as a sailor punishment.

[@scrungtilda7500]

Its that lady

[@pcaetano7527]

Because your doing a educational video game show , I'll suggest you cover the Age of Empires series since it's based on real history.

[@PBSSoCal]

Thanks for the recommendation. We'll pass it on to the producers. And thank you for watching!

[@TogetherinParis]

I provided the first 3 Pirates of the Caribbean films. They told me that no pirate film had ever been profitable, even Earold Flynn!

[@pruett89]

Your trying to tell me tube tops are historically accurate…..WHAAAA

[@jeckek9936]

DEI KZbin Official. "We've been living a lie"

[@mmcc2852]

5 mikns in, they only reference the game about tube dress and everything else are just tangent and segways...
