The Real Captain Morgan | The Man Behind the Bottle

Whats up guys, in this video I will be taking you to the age of the pirate, I will highlight Henry Morgan particularly, whose name you may know as Capitan Morgan. And yes he was a real person, and he did go on adventures at sea, he pillaged gold, was in many fire fights and battles and is now immortalized by the brand of Rum, so let's get into the video.

Morgan was a fearsome pirate ,a true pirate to the very end so much so that even the ocean came to came him after he was buried. Rum is my favorite has and always will be. But I drink it straight seldom do I mix it. Thanks for the video .

[@janetcw9808]

Neat rum 👍🏼

[@beautifulcrazey7713]

I agree however my drink of choice is vodka. Ice cold, no mixers.

I wonder if the people that put him on the label know what a horrible person Morgan was. That as bad as putting a serial killer on a cereal box imo ..

The young man that narrates these has to be one of the cutest guys I've seen in a while, looks and a voice, what wonderful luck for him. I don't see this in the comments on videos where you can see him for a minute but I'm gonna put it out there, I mean this with the most respect too. I'm also sure this is definitely not the first time he's heard this 😉

FYI there is some controversy as to where Sir Henry was actually born. Some historians feel he was either born at a Morgan Family farm at Llantarnum, Gwent, or at the Llanrumney Hall, Cardiff, Wales, UK. Sir Henry is also associated with the village of Pencarn which is situated between Cardiff and Newport. It is generally felt that he was brought up helping at a relative's estate as an agricultural worker on the land, also historians think that he was well educated as a gentleman. It is also viewed by some that he was initially press-ganged into service in the Navy and transported to Bristol Docks from his home in South Wales as a result of a night of drinking. Generally, I think he was quite a tough, tough cookie, he was also very much a privateer and a man of his time. Different times and all that. 🤔 Let's face it, pirates are not known for being very nice people at all are they? I think you would have to be a certain type of "sailor' to begin with. However, compared to some others I have read about.😳🙄 I don't think I would personally have like to have bumped into any of them TBH and God forbid the fate of any Royal Navy captain adrift lost out on the high seas who accidentally crossed their paths. It does appear that there were a lot of pirates originating out of South/West Wales and Bristol during the 17thc. ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@berenicewaters4096]

What such an amazing video! Very interesting to hear about this pirate which I thought was just a brand of rum!. The area of pirates ha always fascinated me when sea battles were a daily thing and the big empires were at war over territory and they used sailors and naval fillets to do their bidding. I have been to the port of Campeche a s I heard of the city,s raid but didn't know captain Morgan was involved. I have heard that Lotencillo, a French pirat was the leader. Thank so much for the video I thoroughly enjoyed it. Happy Birthday Oli from HP!!.

Almost every nation at this time also had pirates working for them. Men who appeared respectable, plundering and pillaging on the under. The amount of wealth, power, and territorial gain is unimaginable to us in modern times! ⚔️💎⚖️💰

[@NomadSoul21]

Great video, as always! Just one observation: the place in Venezuela where Morgan was in is called Maracaibo, pronounced "mah-rah-kah-ee-bo". I think you just misread the name XD it's funny because you usually have a really impressive grasp on Spanish names. I'm Venezuelan and when heard "marciabo" I was like... What? O.o

What I Don't Understand Is...If, As Pirates, They Obtained So Much Wealth, Why They Never Stopped Pirating? How Much Was Enough?! Unless They Enjoyed Being Respected And Feared, Besides Enjoying A Life Of Crime, I Have No Other Explanation. Perhaps I Answered It. What Say You?

They were probably addicted to the lifestyle of being out at sea, sailing into the unknown and discovering new lands, and of course the thrill of the fight and obtaining wealth, plus their reputation

The spainish main was not an American Suburbia under liberal Standards . True Pirates were criminals in their day and Ours , but he wasn't the only Privateer turned pirate, who retired to a plantation are held a governor's office. The spainish main was wide open as the wild west as it was only being Taken into western civilization Not Settled into permanent settlements and we're being fought over by Spain and England the two world powers at the time. Then there was the Aztec gold a thing a king would sell his Christian soul for, and that an economist told the king of Spain if he kept importing. So much gold from the new world he was going to Collapse the Spanish economy . At the time it was said, when Spain moved , the world shook. But after the spainish Armada failed to sail the English Channel it was said, Britannia ruled the waves . The days of the spainish main were over.
