You should make either an expanded version or a follow-up video distinguishing between French corsairs and the Barbary corsairs too.

The last time I bought corn it was a buck and ear.

[@quorrakai]

Awesome! I actually always wondered what a Privateer was. Now I know! 😎 Honestly, the hangings in the public square as a warning needs to make a comeback.

[@HistoryofPirates]

Hahaha you might be right

[@Thomas.Wright]

Buccaneers have something to do with barbecue. That much I remember. That's why I listen to pirate metal when I grill or barbecue. Viking is just the Scandinavian word for pirate.

[@nigelm5539]

I never knew the difference between these terms, as much as most of us are probably familiar with them. I always assumed a Buccaneer was the same as a Pirate. Great video!

[@HistoryofPirates]

thank you

[@slicerneons3300]

My first introduction to Pirates wasn't the traditional swashbucklers, but Space Pirates from the Star Wars: Droid VHS Tape.we had.

[@HistoryofPirates]

Ha!

[@dh1031]

Love the editing work here (just from editing clips back in the day), I appreciate all the time that went into sourcing the images and getting them organized with/to the information/script that was recorded. Fantastic work!!💯👏

[@HistoryofPirates]

Much appreciated!

[@paultaylor1814]

I am enjoying these videos because I always learn something. I knew what a pirate and a privateer were but didn't know the origin of the term buccaneer, so that was interesting. Keep up the interesting content, Jay.

[@HistoryofPirates]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jeremybain3830]

Illuminating as always.

[@HistoryofPirates]

[@dougc190]

I'm so glad you're doing these Jay they are very interesting and fun. I knew what a Privateer was but they did not know what the definition of a Buccaneer was.

[@HistoryofPirates]

Neat. The History of Pirates graphic is dope too.

[@HistoryofPirates]

[@garynaccarato4606]

Given what I heard it seems like the word buccaneer simply meant people who would sail somewhere with the objective of attacking and robbing groups of people who lived near a coastline.

[@skits_3d824]

Thanks Jay this helped me understand a little more.

Another great one. Ready to hear Capt Wrecked do some voiceover work too!

[@HistoryofPirates]

Working on it!

[@ladymarinenc]

@@HistoryofPirates 🥳🥳

[@ChuckJansenII]

Great video. Sinking a ship was never the desired outcome. The goal was to capture it. If the ship sank then the booty was lost and that isn't profitable. But what did these able seaman do with the captured ships and crew? That would make a fascinating video. Most people only know this: Pirates are from Pittsburgh, Buccaneers are from Tampa, and 'Privatears' are enlisted griping in the Army. Now we all know the real difference. Note: I made up the one about Privatears.

[@HistoryofPirates]

thank you for watching

[@gusgus2539]

Thank you

[@HistoryofPirates]

[@TomMcD71]

[@HistoryofPirates]

Noted!

[@Thomas.Wright]

Might have to share some of these videos on the Storm Seeker fan page.

[@calebnemrow2677]

So, pirates were sea based criminals, privateers were sea based mercenaries, and buccaneers were sea based militia

[@twhitten828]

Definition of Liscence...permission to do what would otherwise be illegal....Privateer. ...since U..C.C. 'Law' (commerce) has now covered all lands...Privateering is Still Healthy and Growing as ever. 😁👍

[@HistoryofPirates]

Love this, thank you
