Fun fact: the somali pirates have a semi functional stock market, where you can sponsor crews or even individual missions, and get a share of the profit from it.

Probably my personal favorite Somali pirate story is the time that Somali pirates boarded and captured a North Korean cargo ship, the Dai Hong Dan. While the crew was captured, they managed to get a distress signal out while biding their time. Their distress signal was picked up by a US Navy destroyer, the USS James E. Williams, which dispatched teams to secure the vessel. At the same time, the North Korean crew attacked their captors, seizing weapons and securing the ship with the assistance of the US Navy sailors, capturing or killing all of the pirates. The most ridiculous part is that afterwards North Korean state media released a statement of gratitude for the American assistance, emphasizing the successful cooperation between the two nations.

18:56 good story for part 2 here! - The Danish warship you see there, Esben Snarre, was AGAIN attacked exactly 10 years later in 2021 on the other side of Africa. A band of Nigerian pirates attacked the warship in the Gulf of Guinea, unbeknown that the ship was filled with special forces soldiers at the time. Every single one of the pirates were shot dead, except for a single one, whos (and I kid you not) literal name was Lucky.. He did manage to lose a leg, though. Very appropriate for a pirate, peg-leg and whatnot. Lol. And then if that wasn't enough, when the news broke out in the media, it featured a danish "pirate expert" who (and again, I kid you not) wore an eye-patch during every single interview due to complications from a loser operation.

[@LadyTylerBioRodriguez]

That literally doesn't make sense. Nobody has ever said Kidd was notorious, idiotic and pitiful more like. I'd probably change that to Henry Every, La Buse, Richard Taylor, and keep Morgan and Roberts.

[@Tinil0]

@@LadyTylerBioRodriguez This is why you aren't consulted about which pirates are most notorious. Henry Every, La Buse, and Richard Taylor are all extremely obscure to anyone who doesn't actually read about pirates. The average person hasn't heard of any of those people. "Notorious" doesn't mean good. Note that I am not necissarily endorsing the Sid Meier's list either, but your list is noticably worse.

[@LadyTylerBioRodriguez]

@@Tinil0 I'm going off infamous for the 1730s. Nowadays yes I'd argue my names are obscure since there isn't many appearances of them in popular culture (Everys biggest mention of late is Uncharted 4 and there's a cryptogram myth attached to La Buse). Who gets remembered well and who doesn't is somewhat arbitrary. I mean take John Rackam, two months of piracy and dead, he was the definition of a nobody in 1720, but in 2024 he's one of the best known pirates. Henry Every pulled off a heist that causes an international incident between India and Britain, inspired pirates like Kidd and Charles Vane, and was the model for the legend of Libertalia. He was also never caught. Taylor and La Buse did a similar heist concerning a Portuguese diamond ship, Taylor managed to successfully retire, La Buse did not. Indian Ocean piracy was among the most successful but unfortunately they aren't well known 3 centuries later. I'm a pirate historian for the record.

Yes to part two!!! I've played enough video games to understand the Somali pirates' ambition in taking on war vessels. You're always looking for the next big challenge!

That or they only have one save slot and "Bing!" the game autosaved when the fight started. We all know how that goes.

[@girl1213]

I wish it was like that. It would make them less likely to be smashed on the Internet for how stupid they are to keep making the same mistake over and over again. At least on video games, you can use autosave and hit a reset button to try and try again until you figure out how to success take the ship. But sadly for these pirates they haven't even figured out there actually is a save system.
