I think that's because Adam's "pirate voice" is very funny XD

Jamie had one of those "Is this real life" moments for sure. To me, it's moments like that which made the show genuinely enjoyable to watch. Especially when in later episodes you saw Jamie really come out of his shell if you will!

Drachinifel, the best maritime history channel on KZbin has addressed wood splinters in several videos and Q&As. A ball going through a ship will only take out what is directly in it's path, splinters cause more casualties. It's documented in RN after action reports and accounts from participants in battles. Ships of the Line had wooden sides over a foot thick, a hit produced much more splintering and a 32 pound ball would do much more damage, a 6 pounder is a toy in naval terms. Apparently Mahogany is the worst wood for splinters. Pirates hardly ever had gun battles,

[@FreejackVesa]

I think they should recreate these tests with a real 32 pounder and a one foot + thick slab of mahogany. Yeah, I know the shows been over for years, but still. Would like to see that

[@jsloanhpi]

THANKS! That question really bugged me after seeing them lose a ball here! Yes, that infamous cannonball accidentally going into civilization from a believed safe bomb range (one used by the show alone 100 times by then) was a really big deal, got a lot of negative publicity. Discovery and the producers and the hosts all had public meetings and press announcements to reassure the public near the facility how they learned from whatever mistakes. And promised to fix the house with quite the visible hole. Hearing Adam and Jamie talk about in clips is really interesting, it was obviously quite the experience. And can you imagine how it felt for everyone at the time? Pretty sure you could look it up in some of their show retrospectives and definitely in old newspapers.

The eye patch one is so real that was used by the military during WW2 in the navy, German submariners had a special night glasses(Auer Uboat Glasses) for the watch crewman that had the night shift. Instead of blocking one eye and only having one with night vision, this glasses had a red film that dimmed the light a lot like sunglasses so the crew could walk inside the submarine with normal light and still have the night vision intact. Plus NAVY ships and submarines used red lights for this purpose too.

[@dr.depressed._6547]

having depth perception in a boarding fight is much more important than a bit of night vision, especially when lanterns exist. having the red light for night vision works in modern times because nobody is gonna be swinging a cutlass, and also because it affects both eyes. pirates typically only wore eyepatches when in public to cover an eye wound.

Fun fact.. The Vasa museum in Sweden tested a real naval gun (with a lot bigger caliber than this measly 6 pounder) to see what it would do to a ships hull. The result- a LOT of very very big very very lethal splinters. Jamies last works is bang on target. They need a bigger cannon.

[@stevo68]

How big is a real naval gun?

[@thrifikionor7603]

The different wasnt only the gun, a 24 pounder with an as historically accurate as possible load, but they also accurately replicated a hull section of the Vasa and a hit especially on the vertical supports created enormous deadly splinters that definetly could maim or kill you. Also they seem to ignore that large splinter smashing into the pigs at 1:32:50, that looks like it would cause some blunt trauma.

[@hannehanskov7560]

I agree, it has been done several times in Europe,i have seen at least 2 british versions ,they had the same result as vasa,but i get a feeling that in US they are not really used to seeing all these old ships and cannons, as we at least in northern europe are, in most old cities here there are old cannons on display by castles,harbours,old war memorials, they are just commond to see when you walked around...here in copenhagen the war museum has a row of old cannon barrel as both display and sort of decoration that lies outside in the length of the whole building, inside there are more,showing the development through time up til modern granate launchers, and there are a lot of time and versions between the cannons in pirates heydays in 16-1700 ,and untill the more modern versions from 1800-something,most of the old ones are shorter, uses bigger cannon balls and are considerable heavier than these later versions like those used in 1840,and they are not made to being moved over big distance,it took 4-6 men just to pull a ship cannon back ,load it and get in in place to be fired again. and i think they might have missed what splinters in this case is,it is not those little things,although they were great at causeing infected wounds,but splinters is whole and halv boardsize pieces that hit people with so much force their bones were crushed or they caused internal bleeding,. the pigs got hit in the heads by the board and even in the test inside it wasnt mentioned that halv of the board was blown of though it caused the kevlar vest to be shot out of place. i love mythbusters and i think they did a very goog job but comparing this little cannon to the old ship cannons is in some cases like comparing a beetle to a train,it is not in the same kind of force.

Although Adam mentions it at one point I feel the cannonball myth is off in concept, the ball will always have a higher chance of outright killing someone but the way splinters would have killed more was through infection and the terrible medical treatments of the time, it's the heart of the myth but still fun to see shooting cannons and all the pirate fun they clearly had making this episode.

Looking at the shrapnel content, it reminds me of a history documentary I saw a few years ago where old ships were sometimes painted red inside where the cannons were operated. The reason for this was to help prevent morale dropping by mask the blood splatter that would get on the walls from crew getting injured by shrapnel and enemy cannon balls.

[@oletjugen8495]

The cannon ball is - about 4 inches in diameter? The splinter blast is about 4 feet in diameter. The likelyhood of being hit by the ball is 1/144 of being hit by a splinter. So even with only 1% likelyhood of a splinter hitting something vital, like an artery, the splinters are STILL more dangerous than the ball itself.

[@sociallyresponsiblexenomor7608]

Except the ball hitting people, as long as there is a line of contact it will just go through and kill all of them. The splinters we saw was like, one in one person's leg maybe if they were right there. The odds of a splinter hitting you are low, the odds of it hitting something vital are less than the odds of just...being hit by the ball itself in actuality.

[@Foul_Quince]

I think the infection after being hit by a splinter accounted for most of the fatality.

A 6-pound shot can hardly be called a typical shot for naval craft. An 18-pound shot would be considered to be a light shot. 24 pound or 30 pound would be a lot more typical.

[@MrMarinus18]

Actually a 6 pound shot was very common on ships at the time. Heavy cannons didn't really come until the 18th century. Usually you wanted to capture an enemy ship, not destroy it and this goes doubly so for pirates. Heavy cannons also require a well trained crew and a lot of resources to use which of course pirates don't have and during the 17th century most governments didn't have either. It's just that most 17th century ships haven't survived until the modern age. During the 18th century centralized kingdoms in Europe were a lot stronger and could afford to build and man large fleets with ship destroying cannons.

[@besserwizard]

The most commonly used naval artillery for pirates (and in the colonies as a whole) was 2pd to 6pd guns. Navy vessels mounted larger guns, especially during the 18th century (which doesn‘t really overlap with the age of piracy), but pirate ships usually went without firing a single shot at an enemies hull. They preferred to scare their enemies into submission.

[@pandy3848]

@@MrMarinus18 But they said the myth is that more pirates died from shrapnel than cannon shoots. So that means we are shooting at the pirates in this scneario instead of pirates shooting at others.And it would make sense for a military ship to have the heavy cannons. Plus they would have less qualms about sinking pirate ships.

[@MrMarinus18]

@@besserwizard Usually they did fire stuff at the enemy but very small cannons or even just musket fire. Just having a lot of stuff coming at you is very frightening.

[@MrMarinus18]

@@pandy3848 usually pirate ships were THEIR ships. Ships were just very expensive before the industrial revolution. Even in the 18th century most nations only had a handful of ships-of-the-line with heavy guns that could destroy other warships. The first to build up a large fleet of them were the British which they used to great effect during the Napoleonic wars. But the battles you see in the movies of massive fleets with big cannons tearing each other to pieces was not how naval warfare was. Ships with heavy guns like that weren't around until the 18th century and even then not many.

[@Thespian821]

The “slide down the sail” trope was made up by early Hollywood icon Douglas Fairbanks Sr. in his movie “The Black Pirate” in 1926. The secret behind the effect was that the sails were pre-cut, and as Fairbanks made his descent, he didn’t descend at a perfect 90 degree angle. Rather, he was attached to a cable, hidden behind the sail (leaning on a much more obtuse angle), with a propeller plane engine working outside of the camera shot; to create the illusion of the sails blowing in the wind.

Doug Fairbanks Jr, used to shoot these sail sliding stunts at an angle so he could make the fall but land safely.

I came here to say the same thing. You can see it clearly in the clip that it is at an angle. If they tried it that way, it would have had a better chance of working. But I suppose real sails on real ships aren't at an angle, so maybe that's why they did it that way, but I don't know.

[@angrymeowngi]

Definitely. The sail out in open water won't be at 90-degree but on an arc due to air blowing on it. so yeah you'll be riding on it rather than on free fall at least until you are a few feet from the ground. And a dull knife would be more accurate.

My question of using dead pigs was always, the skin would be cold and harden up making it harder for splinters to penetrate. Compared to wam skin it would be softer and easier for splinters to go through. Thinking about how easily we get tiny wood splits in our hands, if it was like that pig skin it woulnd't happen would it?

[@abdullahbinabbas8965]

usually someone would be wearing clothing as well, so the difference made by slightly hardened skin would be negligible i would imagine.

[@Phvpark]

I dont think so, the main problem with this mith is the wood splinter have a very low mass so even with a less dense skin the splinter would not have enough energy transfer to even go through the pirate canvas clothes.

[@KarldorisLambley]

i dont get the cannon thing. where is the 'myth'?. just read any action reports from Trafalgar, loads of evidence for lethality of splinters. Shrapnel refers specifically to a type of artillery shell designed by Henry Shrapnel, which contained small projectiles (often lead or steel balls) embedded in a casing. When the shell exploded, the casing would break apart, releasing the projectiles in a cone-shaped pattern intended to inflict casualties on enemy troops. While wooden splinters from ships damaged during the age of sail could certainly cause injuries akin to shrapnel wounds, it's not accurate to refer to them as shrapnel. Shrapnel has a specific historical and technical meaning related to the design of artillery shells, whereas wooden splinters from ships are a different phenomenon altogether.

[@rossmabon4472]

About the only real difference is there's a century of naval development between the Golden Age of Piracy and Trafalgar. But I do agree that there isn't really a myth here, it's a pretty well documented case of injuries from splinter shrapnel, only using the term for the sake of simplicity .

[@qasimmir7117]

I think they mistook the accounts of lethal splintering coming from thinner sided and less armed pirate acquired vessels when in fact they came mostly from the thicker and more heavily armed naval vessels.

[@lordnul1708]

Fun fact about the "pee to clean" method of doing laundry: the Romans did it as a form of early dry cleaning, and it had a bit of a bleaching effect. Given that white robes were more typical of like, senators and similar ranks, we can assume the method was a bit on the high price side to make sure clothing looked like it suited your political and financial status.

[@pauloalvesdesouza7911]

On the deadly shrapnel myth. The deaths were related mostly to infections from minor wounds, especially those from teak splinters because it contains toxic chemicals in its lignin.

[@obiwanfisher537]

I think there is a technique to sliding down the sail properly and not just cut it. You have to angle it right to stop yourself every few metres and then go back to cutting down. Just like the actor did.

[@kylecain4908]

i see one problem with the cannon ball test, the wood's density isn't anywhere near what it used to be, so being much "softer" would take away a large portian energy and also reduce the splinters as well. This is only in my mind i may not be correct
