The most successful pirate of all time - Dian Murray

View full lesson: ed.ted.com/lessons/the-most-s...
At the height of their power, infamous Caribbean pirates like Blackbeard and Henry Morgan commanded as many as ten ships and several hundred men. But their stories pale next to the most successful pirate of all time, who commanded 1,800 vessels, made enemies of several empires, and still lived to old age. Dian Murray details the life of the fearsome Madame Zheng.
Lesson by Dian Murray, animation by Steff Lee.
