[@Doug_B]

Thank goodness scratch-n-sniff videos aren't a thing! As per usual, awesome video Jay!

That's pretty dang cool and smelly. Yeah I bet life was pretty rough when it comes to hygiene and all.

My man moe

We’ll the French buccaneers ate pigs and pirates were constantly drunk to the point of being combat ineffective sometimes

Finally subbed..Good stuff Jay

[@HistoryofPirates]

Heyyyy thank you

[@nigelm5539]

They definitely had crooked teeth in the back.

[@HistoryofPirates]

Indeed

[@Valiantes_]

Pirate life was not for the faint of heart. They should have pirate boot camp for Twitter weirdos. Great pirate video, bro!

[@HistoryofPirates]

Thank you

What would your pirate captain nickname be to strike fear in the hearts of everyone?

[@HistoryofPirates]

Still working on it

[@HortonGourcuff]

Oh, A Pirates life is a Wonderful Life!

[@Nagirdnal]

Unlike real pirates who are dirty and stinky, History of Pirates is fresh to death. Thanks for another history lesson!

[@HistoryofPirates]

Thank you for always supporting

[@Shadowace724]

yup no all set LOL

Dear Jay, To be honest, life for most people back then was harsh, and the chances of dying young were high for many on the lower rungs of society. Although toothbrushes are a relatively new idea, there was a lot less sugar in people's diets, so dental issues though not negligible, were perhaps that bad. Frank.

[@HistoryofPirates]

Correct, the issue was the hygiene on the pirate ship. That was the focus on this video. Great post my friend.

[@frankberry6220]

@@HistoryofPirates Dear Jay, You have to remember that back then bathing was seen as medicinal rather than socially obligatory. There was a notation from a member of the court of Queen Elizabeth I which stated: 'Her majesty would bathe once a year whether she needed to or not.' In other words, unless the Queen was unwell, no one expected her to have a scrub. Given that her ministers and staff would have followed her example, her court must have smelled like a pirate ship. Cheers, Frank.

When I was younger I had the wonderful privilege to go on two 10-day trips on an old-fashioned made-by-hand two masted GORGEOUS wooden sailing ship called the Pacific Swift. When you said there were no toilets on board the ships my immediate reaction was “Well, of course there is. It’s called the Head!” Then I got to this part 1:32. “They went to the *head* of the ship…” Oh, hey now…in all my many years being around boats how is it that I only just understood this TODAY? Thank you.

[@karenm5681]

Oops, sorry Frank. I meant to put my last comment in the main comment section…not intended to be a reply to you, but I guess I had just finished reading your comment. Have a good day.
