Pirate ship tale

[@Matches860]

I've always wanted a metal detector myself. Gold coins and stuff are great, but I'd get just as excited over finding old metal buttons from the Civil war era too. So many artifacts lay just inches below us.

[@Matches860]

Hi Mitch! I'm in CT but have been a Cape Codder all my life. Don't make the annual trip any more but hope to get back when possible. Soulmirrors...a fine lad indeed! Thanks for coming by!

[@Matches860]

Many thanks! There's nothing better than a tale that gets proven 300 years later.

[@Matches860]

Nothing like a cat that's content! My cat likes when I whistle a tune LOL. Thank you Tomas!

[@scottphillips7524]

The story makes me want to go treasure hunting!!

[@backyardoutdoors8353]

KZbin's Greatest story teller. Please do more !!!!

[@Matches860]

Thanks for watching Rob, have a great week-end!

[@Matches860]

I have a couple cigars sitting here, I should smoke one next video. Stay warm Carl and thanks for watching!

[@Matches860]

Pirates were the hippies of their day, although a little more violent in most cases. Awesome stuff to think about 300 years later.

[@Matches860]

You're starting your four night run! Best Wishes Mike...and Happy Birthday to your Dad!

[@Matches860]

Good to see you my friend! Black Sam was actually a gentleman and some of his loot was from other wrecked ships. There was no mention of violent take overs in what I read. Anyway, the Friday Savinelli took a break from todays video, but I smoked it before & after.

[@Matches860]

It seems as though most pirates wore wigs at this time, but Sams hair was his own. Thanks for watching Mate!

[@Matches860]

Yep, he's always right on cue too! You know, as I walk the beaches at the Cape, timbers are always sitting up in the sand, but you never know which one of the hundreds of wrecks they're from.

[@Scott_AI5EF]

Great story and a very nice pipe! I don't need anymore PAD, John! Great, now I need a clay pipe. ~Hilman

[@Theobacconist]

Great story, John. As a child of the 80's my semi-fascination with pirates began with The Goonies going after "one eyed Willy's rich stuff" from that 1985 film. It's why I've always tried to watch films set in the same town of Astoria, OR like Kindergarten Cop, The Ring, and Short Circuit. But that's a different coast :) Peace, Eric

[@jllucas39]

I've been watching a matches860 marathon! Great story!

[@Matches860]

+jllucas39 Excellent! I have a few hours of entertainment...keep watching LOL.

[@Matches860]

As I was growing up, the tale was like that of Atlantis...no proof to back up the story. When the treasure started coming up, it was very exciting!

[@SgtMantis]

Awesome story!!

[@Matches860]

Thank you Jason, and you have a great week-end as well my friend!

[@nw7us]

My feline princess, Peek-a-boo, really likes it when you tell your stories. She completely relaxes, and lays her head down by turning it almost such that she's upside down, but the rest of her body is just on the side. That is her, "I am so happy" pose. That's what she's doing as we listen to your Pirate story. Great video. Thanks. - Tomas / NW7US

[@FarmyJoe76]

Thanks for sharing that story with us. You truly have a gift for captivating an audience!

[@Matches860]

Thanks Bill! Pirate Kake will certainly please...it just takes a little breaking apart to smoke it.

[@Matches860]

I really enjoy ship stories myself. Perhaps I was at sea in a former life. Have a great week-end Richard!

[@matthewgabbard6415]

I hope you will be again next time around. God speed brother RIP

[@angelasbrandnewbag]

My mom spent many hours metal detecting at the local historic battlegrounds and found several interesting objects! That was one of her favorite past times. I still have her detector. Need to get it out and have a look around our place-if it still works! Probably an antique itself now! LOL!

[@emile3363]

Thanks John, well done as always my friend! What a tragic ending to an otherwise wonderful piece of pirate history. Thank you for the fascinating history lesson. Enjoy your weekend.- Emile

[@Matches860]

Hi Big! I don't know where my love of the sea came from, but I enjoy a good sea story anytime. Wishing you a great week-end my friend!

[@alexgman1988]

I did enjoy the story, not only because I take great interest in maritime stories such as this, but also because of the ultimate smoke that accompanied it. Just getting lost with my Savinelli Joker and some Early Morning Pipe and stumbled across that ultimate smoke that just rolled with the story, perfect start to the day!

[@Matches860]

The Ultimate Smoke! Yes!

[@Matches860]

I'll have to search the dusty corners of my mind for some more stuff. Thanks for watching this one!

[@Matches860]

Ahhh, my long lost friend! Pirate Kake is about as strong a latakia blend you'll find. I actually prefer mixing some burley into it. Hope all is well!

[@rclarke6]

Thanks for sharing your story, I really liked it. you have to understand about me, I love ships and especially the sailing ships. I lived on a yacht for 11 years and miss it so much and of course I am a model ship builder. Listening to your story is just what I needed this morning..:)

[@froggy41u]

As always, quite an entertaining tale, John. "...and that's not my New England accent" gave me a good chuckle. Dave

[@Matches860]

It was a perfect morning for the clay as well as the Pirate Kake.

[@Matches860]

Thanks man! There's nothing like puffin' and tellin' a tale!

[@Matches860]

I spent many days beach combing in that area as it was a well known fact that pieces from the wreck got tossed ashore from time to time. Really fun stuff to think about.

[@Matches860]

Thank you Alex, I meant to add at the end that this past summer, the explorers believe they located more loot along a path to the wreck. Perhaps the ship ripped open and continued moving closer to shore as it dumped gold and silver along the way.

[@nathancampbell9501]

Great story John. I enjoyed it. Thank you.

[@soulmirrors]

"Yis, did ya hear about ol' Liza, lost her huband, she did. Now she's a wida." hehe. Great story, John. Went great with my morning coffee. Thanks, my friend. I hope all is well and that you are having a fantastic autumn. Dave

[@Matches860]

LOL, my Mom tells a story, I was too young to remember it. My Dad rented a plane one Saturday morning back in the 50's and flew us all down for a day on the beach. We slept all day on Sunday after that trip.

[@Razmataz3]

I love the story. I wanna hear more stories about your childhood and teenage day's.

[@Matches860]

I agree, to sit on the beach at the Cape and think about the fact there's still millions of dollars sitting out there is mind-blowing.

[@Matches860]

Thanks for watching David! I thought that handle looked familiar :)

[@TheMagicianPiper]

These are becoming my bed time stories John lol. Enjoying them as much as my new piping.

[@Matches860]

Very happy you like them Jack!

[@puffinclouds8534]

Another great story John.May there be many more 👌🏻😎

[@Matches860]

Thank you Michael! A particularly fun video for me to do.

[@johnwolford6773]

Damn those tree trimers!!!

[@wbwatts43]

Great story, always enjoy your stories. I'll have to try some Pirate Kake.

[@Matches860]

LOL, the day there's no engine I'll probably fall out of my chair. There are so many wreck stories, I may do another one down the road. Hope all is well Mark, have a great week-end!

[@angelasbrandnewbag]

Hey John! Great story! Nothing like a good pirate story in the afternoon on a Friday with you! One of my brothers has a dream to go treasure hunting!! He wants go diamond and gold hunting in NC though. Been talking about it for years but still swears he's going soon! LOL!

[@oldkakis3083]

love sitting on San Antonio bay Texas and listening to your storys and smoking haunted bookshop. Thank You John

[@backcountrypipe]

Awesome video John, I almost pissed myself when I herd the engine start, looks like a nice day there in CT. What a great story and you tell it so well, nothing like a CC story to make a persons day. All the best Mark

[@loganmyers3110]

Great story! Just did a report on Mr Bellamy last semester in one of only three "golden age of piracy" college courses offered in the united states. Spot on account my friend!

[@scottphillips7524]

Another awesome story! Thanks for sharing!!

[@Matches860]

And the story continues as more loot has been found. Thanks for watching Scott!

[@Matches860]

He was quite a character I guess. Many thanks for dropping by!

[@OEFveteran2010]

Thanks for the story love it with my corncob and seven seas black

[@Zewyz12]

Enjoyed listening to that story John. I was lucky enough to get a sample of pirate kake a while back, good stuff as I remember.

[@bonecollector1968]

Awesome story Matches, As a cigar smoker of about 6 years i recently started smoking pipe , and i am really enjoying the pipe probably more so now than cigars. I found your channel 6 months ago and you were the primary reason for my switch to pipe, as i find your stories and tobacco reviews very informative and entertaining. Keep up the awesome vids, and i will keep watching. Thanx~

[@Matches860]

bonecollector1968 Thank you my friend! As long as someone is watching, I hope to stick around a bit longer making videos!

[@Matches860]

I think you folks all come for the chainsaw LOL. Take it easy Joe!

[@to2055]

Great story! Thanks for telling, John. Have a great week, Tobias

[@Matches860]

Thank you Tobias, it was a lot of fun for me. Sweet Smokes to you!

[@mr.sherlockholmes6130]

John who makes Pirate cake I want to try some it got to be great ! when a Master story teller is speaking people listen ! There are alot of pirate ship tales. and lots of Slaves and Pirate tales in the South Carolinas and Savannah Ga . Once in that area i went through a time warp ! heard Slave chains and saw a black image go through the car And. it was so cold in my car I froze up and it was in the 90s found out later it was a road that slaves were brought through I would love to see your part of the country so much history and culture thanks For this incredible story ! made the hair on my neck stand up ! I will look it up .

[@Matches860]

I honestly was going to wait till afternoon, but when I ran out to the bank before filming, all was quiet.

[@garbagemanpiper]

Great Story Matches!! Enjoyed it! Perfect length to get me to work. Love the channel!

[@Matches860]

Thank you! Since I told this story, the burial ground has been located where most of the casualties were buried, and remains of one person found at the wreck site. Interesting stuff!

[@DOUBLEHILT]

awsome story john.always look forward to your vids.rob

[@wavecreatures]

You are one heck of a story teller John! You made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. You are indeed gifted. Thanks for sharing such a great story! My respectful regards, Phil.

[@Matches860]

You are too kind my friend! I just enjoy my pipe, but need something to say while I'm puffing away LOL.

[@wavecreatures]

You are a too modest sir.... :)

[@Matches860]

I've always had a problem expressing myself, or perhaps that was my own criticism :)

[@Matches860]

Arrrgh, me's very happy to see you Mate!

[@JEEROFUKU]

Aye aye captain👍🏻🍀

[@MrJmcn123]

Great story John, hope you have a great weekend as well. Take care bud.

[@Matches860]

LMAO! I knew someone would give me a hassle for that. I should have guessed it would be you. I still like you anyway Dale.

[@dogmile9397]

Beautiful Story! Thank you

[@Matches860]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@manu85mma]

Nice story,i really love to sit on the creek shore close to my house,burn up my pipe and listen to your story matches. One of the best story teller on you tube for sure. Greetings from italy!and sorry for my english,i can not speak it very much

[@Matches860]

Your English is very understandable Manuel and my Italian is limited to a few bad words I've picked up along the way. Thanks so much for the kind words and your support!

[@manu85mma]

Matches860 thanks to you!

[@Matches860]

Thanks Alex, I know I can always count on you to watch!

[@TheEltopian]

I really like your stories, John. This one you put up over three years ago and I had to listen to it again just for fun! ~Dale

[@Matches860]

Thanks for re-watching Dale, I've revisited a few myself.

[@1tonyk]

John, you're a skilled and captivating story-teller. It's worth waiting until Friday's just to enjoy a smoke w you, an entertaining video and some good company. Your brother in smoke from sunny Buffalo, NY Tony K. Have a great rest of the week.

[@Matches860]

Many thanks! For me, there's nothing better than a great smoke and a good story!

[@tigerraven]

Matches860 nice vid are you going to make another vid soon please do

[@MikeReed]

Friday and a new vid from John, this is giving me flashbacks my friend! It's good to start my work with a vid from you!

[@armypipesmoker]

Great story! I have never heard that one before. As for the tobacco, I just got some in from Army44. I have not tried it yet but it smells great! Thank you for sharing the story. Take care brother! Michael

[@stonylawncottagepipe4429]

Just found your vid...Always enjoy and look forward to your "story times"

[@Matches860]

Thanks for watching! This is a story which still unfolds if you care to research it.

[@mr.sherlockholmes6130]

John I love the Clay! The Churchwardens are my favorite ! They got their name by the night watchmen in the Church s . They would smoke those at night and rest them on The Church Pues and protect the Church. Love your History knowledge I can't get enough !!!😄I love to learn and these type are the best ! what is the rule for finding Lost coins today when they find a sunken pirate ship today ? you should write a pipe table book with these great tales in it . Tales from the Pipe!!!!would be a best seller thanks John !!

[@Matches860]

Finding ships treasure is not always profitable because someone (usually a government) always wants a piece of it. People spend millions to find millions, but many times they just break even when its over.

[@Matches860]

Could be, I grew up hearing Widow...Whydah would really be a blow! Give me a good sea story anytime!

[@Matches860]

I have a good mind to go over to his house with the camera going and asking him what the hell he's doing. I swear he's sawed up 300 trees since I've been on YT.

[@Matches860]

LOL, I recommend a clay only because of the history behind it. Smoking a clay puts you in touch with the past. Take care Buddy!

[@Matches860]

Hi Dave, glad this one is behind me so I can work on my "Autumn" video. hope all is well up there in your neck of the woods!

[@Matches860]

I really like it, and if I'm not in the mood for heavy latakia, I mix some Pirate Kake into Haunted Bookshop...I call it Haunted Pirate Ship LOL.

[@oniichanrikku]

Great story!

[@Matches860]

LOL, I actually came across an article recently that stated the length of the first clays was determined by the distance from the mouth to the arm of a chair. This allowed one to comfortably hold the bowl with the arm resting on the chair arm. The moral of the story? Always smoke a long clay in a chair with an arm rest.

[@PipeWizard86]

Great story John. I swear that guy waits for you to make a video to start mowing the lawn or chopping up wood with a chainsaw or whatever it is he does lol. .

[@MrJonathanwant1972]

Hey John that was a great story and I love the clay I will smoke one of my clays later thank you for making this video. take care Jonathan

[@maxboonkittypoison]

great story

[@toddemfield6576]

Nice tavern pipe!

[@hellsing7997]

Good story matches,love that pipe

[@Matches860]

Many thanks my friend!

[@Matches860]

While my clay warden was appropriate for the period, I should probably have been smoking a straight Virginia...Oh well, Pirate Kake is fantastic stuff!

[@Matches860]

Really, there's only so much trimming you can do, but it seems like it's been every Friday for two years now.

[@ashesofthephoenix4605]

What the world Matches? Ran across this Vid in your Playlists. It says published in March of 2017, but you don't have your tradmark Mustach. Lol! Anyways, I'm looking for a Gandalf like long stemed pipe like the one you have in this Vid. What's the difference in smoke from a clay or wooden stemed Pipe?

[@BurkeDevlin66]

RIP

[@shelby500man]

Very nice story! It´s always a pleasure to watch your videos while smoking a pipe or a good cigarr:) Greetings from a cold Sweden. Cheers Carl

[@dragon21a]

Speaking of Cape Cod and that whole area I was wondering if you'd ever made a trip to Martha's Vineyard?

[@Matches860]

LOL, I may sneak over some night and water down all his gas.

[@SLVshadow]

Nice story John... I think the ship might be pronounced the WHYdah... but I could be mistaken. I love all things Nautical and Piratical.

[@KevinTwiner]

Wow what a clay .. an holy crap it’s the dude from Texas chainsaw massacre. Hahahaha... enjoyed your time

[@passionpassion8659]

Quel est le meilleur tabacco pour débutent

[@Matches860]

Oh my, there are many. I would suggest getting something that's easy for you to get. Talk to other's in your area.

[@Nativesurvival]

Enjoyed the story ive heard it before but i dont remmeber when, seems your near the cape? i am as well, found you through my buddy soulmirrors super nice pipe ; ) -Mitch
