It’s common knowledge that Golden Age pirates were big on personal freedoms, democracy, and equality. Today I’ll be talking about the legendary pirate utopia called Libertatia. I’d like to take a moment to explain that there is no solid evidence Libertatia actually existed, but that doesn’t mean that it didn’t exist either.

Hope you all enjoyed the video! Do you believe Libertatia existed?

i believe it exists.

Libertatia sounds like pirate heaven

[@TheRiverPirate13]

Regardless of the "scholars" think there most likely was a pirate base that operated like a free community. Those pirates may have called it Libertatia or something similar. Speaking as a humble pirate myself I do not outright discount historical accounts of people, place or things just because there isn't enough evidence at the moment to support it. Sometimes the stories past down are based on a factual events. It is a tropical location so anything wooden probably vanished long ago. Enjoyed the video mate!

[@JungleLibrary]

What do you mean you're a pirate? Is being a pirate just a state if mind? If so, hello fellow pirate :)

[@TheRiverPirate13]

@@JungleLibrary Aye mate! It is a state of mind. I’m part of the Krewe of the 13 which we are a registered 501c3 charity that raises money to help families in need through no fault of their own. We pirates (unisex term)of the 21st century may dress in 17th & 18th century garb however we work toward the betterment of mankind. The pirate character I play is based on an actual historical event in the late 1600’s involving Captain Bannister. My KZbin channel places my character in modern times, mostly involving rum!

What a coincidence 🤣~ just after a week I finished uncharted 4: a thief's end Spoilers: Yeah.. it's about libertalia

[@deansch6089]

Have you ever considered a video on how the pirates interacted with the various Indian tribes that lived on the islands? Would they have been any different than any other Europeans?

[@ThePiratesPort]

Good idea!

[@frostbiteproductions3427]

The section of henry avery in a general history speaks of a extremely similar tale of libertatia being the place he settled down in after the gunsway heist. This is obviously highly unlikely but it is interesting the amount of variation in the tales of this mythical place even during the period it was happening.

[@dws0828]

I can’t. Google claims I had an adense account (how you get paid for ads) from 15 years ago and I can’t access the account. You’re only allowed one account per person so I’m S.O.L. on that.

[@ericachappuis7477]

Enjoyable video. However, many pirates were, in fact, participants in the slave trade, even as they professed the ideals of liberty for themselves. There are no perfect communities, pirate or modern. There is, I have read, no hard evidence that the cemetery is a pirate graveyard. The skull and crossbones motif was popular as a memento mori for gravestones in colonial times, for common citizens, not necessarily just for pirates.

[@jeffgold3091]

first off , it’s libertalia , not libertatia . and i’ve read that the conflict with the locals was over women , which seems much more likely , as the all male residents of libertalia had to take native women to “ marry “ . sex is generally the downfall of utopian communities .

[@ThePiratesPort]

Both spellings are accepted Jeff. You don’t need to put a space between a word and a punctuation either. Your theory could be absolutely be correct, but we can’t prove it one way or another.

[@jeffgold3091]

oxford comma ….not much is known about libertalia, for instance what language was spoken , so anyone can spell it any way they want to
