I know having to explain that a pardon works if you let the pirate keep the money should be self explanatory, but I've seen popular media like Assassins Creed 4 Black Flag say nah they get no money. I sure as shit wouldn't take a pardon if I'm immediately going into poverty as a result.

For some guys, being broke and alive means they can try to get rich again, but not taking the pardon would mean an immediate death.

"By chains, he meant woman....and it worked!"

I may simply not be aware if there is one, but after hearing this I'm very surprised there isn't a movie or show about early pirates who had been giving all these things to basically retire, and being called upon to hunt new pirates as the golden age progressed. Considering the trope of once a pirate always a pirate, I'd definitely pay to see an older, wiser, retired pirate take on the new guard simply because sedentary life just isn't for them. And no matter how it ends it'd be worth the adventure

Not exactly this, but I am writing a [Fantasy] novel about pirates who, as privateers worked for a governor, but when died and the next took over, for political reasons he refused to uphold their charter or allow them to trade freely in his territory. So they kidnap one of his daughters and hold her for ransom in exchange for renewing the charter or at least pardoning them and giving them a free trading license. Most of the story is about the economic and supply hardships of being a pirate.

It's a good premise for a show, but as far as RL goes, you would only see this among the officers as the life of any sailor was rough enough that disease, on the job injuries, malnutrition and all of the other abuse done to their bodies both onboard and during shore leave meant that rank and file sailors could only stay in that career for so long before they were physically incapable of doing their jobs anymore.

@seanfoltz7645 granted life was much harsher back then, considering my time in the Navy when 20 year olds had back problems that put 50 year olds to shame, I'm certain a lot of sailors and pirates worked regardless lol

I always love your down to earth and well researched take on things. Just give them something else to do. Because pirates are created by economies that don't work right.

Shows I am an absolute historian for knowing all your videos' facts but your art is SO MUCH FUN to watch, brilliant work you do!!

You should do some content on the Ottoman pirate lords. Some of them would rise to the command of the entire ottoman navy in the 16th and 17th centuries

Not politically correct to talk about bad things Muslims were doing throughout history as that would destroy the narrative that it's the religion of peace and us Western nations are the problem. Take 9/11 for instance - some folks like to say that it was our fault for attacking them first, but what those folks either don't know or don't bother sharing is that Islam started the fight when the Barbery pirates made unprovoked attacks on American ships less than a decade after we won our independence. That's where the verse from the Marine song comes from - to the shores of Tripoli - as our ships went out and kicked Barbery butt, with us invading their capital and conquering it - that was the first time the American flag was flown in victory over foreign soil.

The problem with privateers turning into pirates was that the initial batch were all privateers who were fighting for king/queen and country - that's why there were so few Dutch pirates - because the Dutch privateers were all former military and patriots who had been fighting for Dutch independence, thus once their goal was achieved, they went back to being soldiers/merchants. Privateers shifting to outright piracy occurred as wars dragged on and the leaders of the countries the pirates were from were willing to turn a blind eye to their behavior so long as they limited their predations to enemy countries. This is when you started seeing more individuals who became pirates who were only in it for the loot and couldn't care less who their victims were. This is also when the pirates started getting more brutal and even surrendering without fleeing or fighting could still result in countless beatings, random torture, rapes and deaths on the victim ship. Once there was no longer open warfare between the European nations, there was no need for privateers, plus, there was the problem of privateers and outright pirates preying upon any ship - even their home country. As such, the hunting dogs which had served the crowns of Europe were now rabid dogs who attacked everyone, thus they needed to be put down, so they were.

What a good channel about Pirates and Caribbean history over all! Wish you make more videos about famous pirate\privateer captains and other topics

another fascinating video.

Just discovered your channel yesterday binge watching ever since. Very well done.

I have also a longer comment in mind with a historical and modern comparison continuing the interesting observation at the beginning of the video but I save it until I am at my pc. In the mean while I thank for the good video and hope for more. Also to anyone reading this I can recommend a book "Pirate Wars" by Peter Earle of pirate hunting besides the books listed in the video description. Cheers! 🏴‍☠️

so you're telling me pirates rped pillaged and plundered, got amnesty for it and then got state issued gfs ontop of that? why am I following the law?

I wonder if you'll cover bandits that existed around the same time that pirates were roving the seas?

Happy belated international talk like a pirate day!

11:37 Maybe paying the former pirates in booze would get them to work. Give them a modest amount in the morning to get them started and then the rest at the end of their work day. Although this would probably require observation of their work ro make sure they didn't waste the day waiting for their evening booze.

Good video

I hope you still read comments on videos that aren't exactly the latest, as I have a question about your channel. Did you not have a video on Olivier Levasseur? I recall learning him from you but he doesn't appear when I type your name and his on the search bar. I figured you may have deleted your own biography videos but then I see Charles Vane, Blackbeard, and even Stede Bonnet. Was his video deleted for some reason, copyrighted, or whatever else?

I know this is a more whimsical video idea but have you ever considered talking about different "pirate" bands? Or maybe your favorite pirate songs? I like "Ye Banished Privateers" a lot, especially their album about the dying days of piracy.

Nintendo also replicate it with their lawyer navy

I really should be working right now, but how else am I gonna know how piracy was defeated?

do you have any information about how pirates fought? like were they professional swordsman or more like hack and slash till the opponet is dead?

​@@doomer849He does have videos on this. It's 1am and I have work tomorrow so I am falling asleep, but essentially their goal wasn't to kill their targets, but to scare them into submission. They'd shoot their cannons to damage the ships (not sink them, they would shoot above the water line due to the angle of the cannons and to hopefully just steal and/or sell the ship). They'd also initially engage at a distance with muskets, specifically targeting officers, captains, and other high-value targets. When boarding, if necessary, they'd use swords and axes, as well as pistols. This would be relatively rare, though. Many targets would surrender simply at the sight of a pirate flag being flown, and the vast majority of the rest would surrender after musket volleys. They would also approach and use psychological warfare if targets didn't immediately surrender, i.e. singing songs, screaming insults, "going crazy" to intimidate their targets. It was always more profitable (not to mention safer) to simply scare targets into submission, rather than have to actually fight them. And, as another commenter pointed out, the majority of pirates were essentially "thugs" and basic thieves, not professionally-trained fighters, with the exception of former navy sailors.

​@@doomer849 also, the most common pirate attacks were conducted in small canoe-like boats (with sails, however) called piraguas or pirogues, rather than the large ships that are often portrayed in the media. When raiding on piraguas, pirates would attack their targets from a distance with gunfire and board the ships after they would have surrendered. So, in answer to your question: no, they were not professional swordsmen and the vast majority of them preferred to absolutely avoid melee combat altogether if possible.

Hey GnG i know that the flying dutchman is a fictional ship but can you do an analysis on the ship in dead mans chest, at worlds end and dead men tell no tales, ive always wondered about its design

Caribbean Pirates were dealt with, but I wonder if there would be a resurgence of piracy in the future ~ unstable economies, wars.... Just look at Somalia or the South China Sea, pirates are only controlled because of nations having the resources to patrol... what if these resources are depleted?

i wonder who the actual last pirate of the Caribbean golden age was

KAAAApers, with a "german a" in dutch...interestingly, while catholic flemish privateers and the dutch were mortal enemies during the 80 years war, the french became a mutual enemy in the second half of the 17th century. but the privateers of the city of Dunkirk worked for the french after their city and the western half of the flemish county fell to france (Jean Bart).... business is business after all, nothing personal ;) the privateers of Ostend and Nieuwpoort were on the dutch-english side during the wars of Augsburg and spanish succession.
