The pirate ship doctor idea would be such an awesome video!!

Out of the three times that the narrator used ordinal numbers to name the centuries, the number displayed on the screen was wrong twice. 00:47 15th century reads "1600s"; 5:06 12th century reads "1300s"; 9:15 18th century reads "1700s" - so, it's not even consistently incorrect. Despite things like this(sometimes too often), it's still entertaining.

Can you guys do a video on the origins and history of gaming. Where'd blackjack come from? Why is a deck of cards the way it is? What did early humans play? What kind of games do they like that aren't based around gambling? A history of board games? Just some ideas for you guys. Keep it up I'm always looking forward to another weird history!

Hello does anyone here believe in Jesus?

One pirate captain on arrival at Execution Dock noted there was a small orchestra playing a variety of hymns and popular drinking and seamen’s. songs. When the executioner began securing the pirate’s hands and arms, he explained that the Admiralty had authorized a horrific torture before the condemned was hanged. “Torture? What manner of torture?” asked the condemned man, “Ritual disembowelment?” “No,” replied the executioner. “The rack!?!” exclaimed the pirate. “No,” replied the executioner. “Pray tell me what manner of torture I must face, so that I might bear it well,” said the pirate. “See the orchestra? The skinny guy third row, second chair from the left?” “Yes. What has he to do with my fate?” said a puzzled man about to meet his Maker. “He plays a ten minute oboe solo.”

Grace O’Malley (a. 1530 - 1603) is one of the most famous pirates of all time. From the age of eleven, she forged a career in seafaring and piracy and was considered a fierce leader at sea and a shrewd politician on land. She successfully defended the independence of her territories at a time when much of Ireland fell under the English rule and is still considered today ‘the pirate queen of Ireland.

Hate to be that person but I must nit-pick that the claim that Anne Bonny did not hide her gender isn't entirely true. Though for the most part she acted as a woman whilst on board, when involved with other ships she opted to dress in men's clothing just as Mary Read did. Other than that it was another very informative and engaging watch like most other Weird History videos 👍

Even the guards would have been common folk and not like to see the suffering, so let it happen as a small mercy to the condemned...that's what I think

Many pirates were privateers at first. When the war was over their letter of marque was revoked. Unfortunately, many could not make the transition, so they continued their activities. Amnesties were offered and some took them, others did not. Note also that they often had strong contacts with merchants in places like New York and Boston, sometimes even financed by them. modern Somali pirates often show the same pattern.

Kidd was innocent. The documentation showing the ship he captured was legal were lost by the English courts for centuries until recovered recently.

It was shown in the ,70s and remade during the 90d/ 2000s. Did you mean to use this tune or was it just something that sounded piratey.
