As a child growing up in Jamaica my grandparents would tell me many a bedtime stories about Port Royal and the Pirates , well done man 💥🙏🏾🇯🇲
Take Pride in your Heritage my Friend :-)
can you share your favorite one? I'd love to hear about it!
@@unchartedNightmare We have a old revolver from the old west from our great grandfather from the 1850s. He was a lawman or a deputy either way that's still cool to know about at least
@@soulextract640 that's very dope!
When Britain was an Empire and ruled the waves ,that period has always fascinated me with stories a from the Caribbean and piracy .I bet your grandparents told the best bedtime stories fella
Resisted saying Seamen for 13 minutes and 40 seconds.. Impressive.
I laughed way to hard at this. Thank you I needed a good laugh today.
The bards will tell of it when we're gone. Aye.
This is what you’re thinking about? Lol

The money gets divided,
The women get excited,
And now I'm broke and it's no joke
It's hard as hell to be a pirate!
😂🤣🙂 u don't need to be a pirate for that to happen to u these days

Sheer poetry! 😹
LOL NICE TAKE on the 80's classic "White Line Fever"! :D

"the ground became quicksand allowing no escape and then a tsunami appeared" well that's horrifying
You think terrifying
Yea there’s a lot of whack ways to die
Yeah, really escalated quickly!
That’ll end the party for sure
Yep. There is an area here where it shows where exactly the city sunk. I think that we can scuba there.
Reminds me of the joke about the stranded pirate." A man came across this pirate near his crashed ship with the steering wheel jammed between his legs, and he asked the pirate 'did you know you have a steering wheel jammed between your legs'? And the pirate replied, 'Ey, it's driving me nuts"...
Dad?
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

@dick dickerson I don’t care it was still funny
Just replayed uncharted 4. I'm not proud of how much I laughed when I heard that joke
"Why Is There a City Full of Dead Pirates on the Ocean Floor?"
Would you prefer a city full of live pirates on the ocean floor? That's creepy.
Nah, I’m sure they’d keep to themselves. Far too many pirates today have guns and probably could wipe out those old timers. Ancient weapons were no match for a few guys with AK-47s.
Rrratatata
@@jackdurden466 USA navy vs modern pirates it’s hilarious 😂 the navy turns them into Swiss cheese
@@jackdurden466 ehhh i dont know about that their little dingys wouldn’t be a match for those ships and cannons
Good point.
"Why Is There a City Full of Dead Pirates on the Ocean Floor?"
I'm gonna guess they drowned.
Yep- the sand base sunk down and they croaked. Was it luck? I guess that depends on your view of pirates!
they fell asleeep, and a tidal wave the size of new mexico dropped on by and then everyone adpated ish...lol
Actually most of them died in the days following from the murder, looting and the diseases, injuries he mentioned in the video which occurred after the earthquake sank parts of town. Nice people just doing nice things when they get the chance how surprising.
Scoober party went bad!
Maybe dead pirates built it in the sea, much like the pirates of the Carribean scene where the dead roam the sea floor ? And they were so satisfied so they decided to actually die there, since well living as undead in underwater city was no Poseideon story.

I read the title as "Why Is There a Car Full of Dead Pirates on the Ocean Floor?"

You weren't paying attention in primary school. 🙄

@@hkweli teachers don't really care they rather give homework, well....from my experience plus we hardly learned about our own country in history class. Im Jamaican btw
The British bribed Jamaican pirates to join their army, which also eliminated them as a threat. Every problem has a solution. In the 19th century, the tiny nation of Estonia underwent a widespread famine. The government enacted an emergency law which prohibited people from abandoning their farms in search of greener pastures elsewhere. In effect, this law prevented Estonian men from deserting their own women, who were largely immobilized by their femininity. This was an indirect national security measure, as it conditioned military-age Estonian men to refuse to financial rewards in exchange for unraveling the security of their dependents.
But in fairness, people of African descent are not Nordic. With so much gold laying under their feet, no amount of defiance, however oblique, was going to succeed at defending the continent against marauders.
This channel is such a gem!

I'm guessing the people in Port Royal weren't real big on Bible verses.
I saw the thumbnail and instantly knew that this was Port Royal, Jamaica. I was fascinated when my school trip led us there and ever since then. I've loved learning about the famous pirates whom plundered the Caribbean. The roads in my area are all named after famous privateers who served the British. Well done Thoughty2
Funny how people act as if Columbus was the first to ever conquer another's land, As if the act of conquering land had not been happening since the dawn of time. All land is Conquered Land.
@Berserking Bishop Are you trying to convince me or others? I agree 👍its kinda my point already all land is conquered land, The indians are still fighting over land with each other in court to this very day...
Not Australia. Our indigenous are the only known people there for 40,000 to 60,000 years, making them up there with African bushmen as the oldest humans in the world.
@@cheshirecat1212 But even the tribes fought over land/resources as did the American Indians. This is not an exclusive thing to colonizing nation.
@@cheshirecat1212 And FYI the African tribes are still fighting each other over land/resources to this very day..
@@ronf8017 nah she didn't get it, don't waste your time
I’m proud to say that we have a close connection to this story. John Even Morris was one of Capt Morgan’s Officers. He was sent to goal for attacking Spain and then pardoned and given his own vessel to be apart of the “Privateer” force. The Name John Even Morris was passed down all the way to my G’dad. The dropped the Evan for my dad, the. Dropped the whole name for me. This story fascinates me. I can’t wait to delve deeper....so to speak
That's actualy really awesome. They should have kept the name going though!
There's always room for more good stories in your bloodline. Contribute yourself, to your fascinating family storyline. :D
@@danielblack8056 we have a local Morris playing Left winger for both Seattle Sounders FC & National team. Sort of qualifies as a pirate or privateer...
@@bfreeman8786 I love Morris bro
Revitalize the original name for your (future?) son. John is timeless, and Even just makes it that little bit different from the usual modern names.
My dad had a name passed down through his family for 800 years (except for a spot of Anglicisation), and it ended when he had 2 daughters. Always thought it rather a pity that I would see the end of that branch of the family.
Me who lives in Jamaica: Fucking finally someone is talking about our under-water pirate city.

I dunno, the history of world currencies sounds like it could be a pretty lucrative video topic 💵💶💷💴🤑 I'd watch it 👀
Agreed! :)
Yes that would be amazing.
Here here!! Neeeeed to see thatbone now 🤣🤣
Definitely
The story of self imposed slavery uh sorry “money” people say history is of vital importance to not remake past mistakes. Somebody needs to shed light on the biggest mistake currency.
Wow this is a crazy story!!
This channel has given me more info than all my history classes.. not to mention makes learning fun too
There's actually strong evidence Columbus was NOT Italian by birth, but rather Portuguese. He didn't speak or write in Italian. Many of the places he named were named after cities in Portugal. And even on his death bed he refused to answer questions about his lineage and upbringing.
No, the name of the cities are in SPANISH all of them our language might sound similar but is not the same. Second , he was Genovese, he talked and wrote Genovese. Italians usually back on those days were pron to use their dialects, even today. The only thing that links Portuguese and Colón was his studies of navigation in Portugal.
Not to mention none of the portraits of him (at least those in this video) were painted in his lifetime. I think there's only one actual painting of him done while he was alive, by an artist in the Caribbean that he knew. I have to say, he didn't look anything like I would have expected.
2 pieces of 8 was called 2 bits, and so was a quarter.
Suddenly "Shave and a hair cut, 2 bits" makes sense.
YEP! EXACTLY! :D My Dad used to say, "Here's two bits... go buy... {whatever he wanted me to get?} So YES IT IS or WAS a REAL THING!
It's and "OLD WORLD" Expression! But still sometimes used! I Use it and I've taught my Grand Kids the term and THEY use it! And when people ask them about it THEY can pass on the History! Kind of Neat I think?! :D
I'm a direct descendant of Captain William Henry Ricketts, the only commander from Cromwell's Jamaican campaign who received a large tract of land on the island (there were 6, I believe) in gratitude for their service, to actually MOVE to Jamaica, live on his land in the Parish of Saint Elizabeth, raise 12 children, & ultimately die of old age there (although possibly "at sea") in 1703. The others were merely absentee landlords of their lucrative sugar cane plantations. He made it his home, & his children did as well.
Imagine all the treasure that was washed out to sea. Might have to get my scuba gear out.
items come up for sale on ebay sometimes, I almost bought a ring, wish I had, the water is very polluted in the bay and that is one reason why there arent a lot of relics; it's dangerous to dive.
Im jamaican and apart of the local myth is that the pirates hid there gold In. Church in the center of town. That was the last straw and GOD got pissed (as he normally does, like seriously what with the big guy constantly loosing his cool). It is said that the church is still intact and all the gold is still there but local scuba divers say that the church became a breeding ground for octopi. So no one can ever get treasure out.
Jamaica is beautiful place filled with rich history. I recommend everyone to visit there. Another big part of Jamaican history are mermaids (when I was a child I feel out of a boat and before I lost con I saw something swam to me as I sink. With longvflowing hair and feminine feature. I woke up on a beach about half a mile away from where I was over board. I could of just hallucinated when I was about to lose consciousness and just got washed up unsure but I'm pretty convinced that I was saved by a mermaid.
@@joejones9520 that’s incredible! I just posted a comment about the fact that there absolutely should be an enormous amount of booty down there. And something is keeping it from being found, excavated, etc. cannot imagine the value in today’s world.
@@jackdurden466 if you go to ebay and search "port royal pirate" it takes you to some listing of artifacts from there, some rings and few other things. They look real, seems to be a reputable seller. It seems dumb to pay a hundred bucks for an old ugly ring but then if you imagine that maybe Blackbeard was near that ring at one time, maybe touched it, maybe originally stole it, it becomes enticing.
@@joejones9520 they could have nabbed that ring from an antique shop though, no knowing it really came from the port
The ’Pieces of Eight' comes from the Spanish 'Etas' coin. The Peso was the 'Spanish Dollar'. The now defunk Pesetas modern coin, comes from the mix of Peso and Etas. De Nada. Pablo
“ 2 bits, 4 bits, 6 bits a dollar”...young girls sang that when jumping rope when I was a child.
In Texas, we also had a cheer: "Two bit, four bits, six bits, a dollar! All for the [insert team name here], stand up and holler!"
When I was a kid it was "first pizza at regular price, $5 for each additional".
"Pizza" was replaced with "hookers" in school. Apparently, hookers were more expensive in Jamaica in the 1600's! 😂
Two bits, four bits, six bits a peso! All for Zorro stand up and say so!

I’ll never forget visiting Jamaica and a local resident who worked at the resort told me all about it. He said God sank it because he hated what happened there. I was fascinated. It’s the first I ever learned of it and have viewed it’s remains on satellite maps numerous times since. A story to be taken seriously.
It's interesting to see that this is pretty much how they portrayed Tortuga in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Definitely one of my favorite movie franchises

13:28 "Sleeping with a prostitute doesn't count when you're time travelling" with a thumbs up by a guy in a suit! had me laughing then questioning the rules of time travel. To many questions to few answers.
I may not make a comment very often, but I seriously appreciate the fact that you are the narrative of this and all of your RUclips videos. And I love the information that you share with us all.
The invention of privateering was absolute genius.
Also what about all those pieces of 8 that got spent in there?

I do know that the drastic drop and utter demise of the number of pirates is directly linked to climate change. One can see that as the number of pirates drop the planet warms. The faster the drop the faster the rate of warming.

2 bits was still in use in 1930’s, i think. because i remember that, in New York city’s non-upper classes, 2 bits was used a lot. i don’t know when that stopped, but by the ‘60’s at the very latest, it was gone. “That’ll be 2 bits, fella.”
as somebody mentioned before me - here’s a sort of song that i remember, too: - wish i could sing it for you - “Shave and haircut - two bits!” :)

Is that a Thoughty2 Easter egg ?

I would tell you a joke about a pirate and his bird, but it would just get parroted
I saw a commercial dressed as a pirate at a Medieval Fair once. He ran out of material & started doing a Jack Sparrow impersonation, then suddenly said "No, I can't be Jack Sparrow... That would be piracy."
My present day parrot: "SQUACK! Get the money. Dollah Dollah Bill, Y'all"
The translation may have changed, but the message remains the same
😭😭
@Odd haven He included bird, so he must have meant parroted. But Pirated would have been better.
Har har har
PROTIP - The one guy who was all 'I thought you wanted this island' is Admiral William Penn, the father of the William Penn who founded my city of Philadelphia. There's a thirty-seven foot tall statue of the man perched atop our City Hall. I'd imagine that such a thing would demolish his Quaker sensibilities - that and he's dressed like a dandy.

As a Jamaican I never thought anyone had any interest in port royle since everytime people talked about sunken cities no one in other countries ever brings up our sunken city. Dispute it being next to our airport.
Visited Port Royal 3 years ago. Walked the same wall in Fort Charles where Horatio Nelson would scan the horizon for Spanish sails. The fort is now quite a distance from the shore as the land has built up seaward. There are graveyards containing many British soldiers and sailors which are not tooo high above sea level. Was weird to see crabs scuttling about the graveyard.
"Their bones in the ocean, forever will be"
And... "DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES"! :D
"knees deep in sea men"
Wouldn't you like that, swedish boy?!
I hope it does become a heritage site. It's a major part of human history. We need to document and try to preserve as much as we can. Let's be honest here you could throw a dart at any city back then and hit a major blackspot of our history but that makes it just that much more relevant and important to save. How else are future generations going to learn what not to do if we hide/censor our own history just because it makes us upset. That's literally the point, you read/learn about it hate what happened and swear to never repeat the same mistake but if you never learn the nitty-gritty you'll never know the bad and good outcomes.

Its mind blowing to think that this only happened a couple of centuries ago. I would love to be on a pirate ship to see what it wouldve been like to live as a pirate.

I’m an American and nobody I know has ever called or calls a quarter 2 bits
It's not as common as it was, but I hear it occasionally.
This is Dustin Morgan from Coin Opp i have been in the coin industry in america for over 30 years. I write books on coins. I make videos on coins. I spend my springs and summers traveling the usa attending coin shows. NO ONE calls us quarters 2 bits. I have NEVER EVER EVEN ONE SINGLE TIME HAVE I HEARD SOMEONE CALL IT THAT. Thats an english thing and probably something people who were born in the late 1800s might of called them that.....but...no. That is not a saying or thing here whatsoever.
You've never heard anyone knock, "Shave and a haircut, 2 bits"?! ruclips.net/video/zWbjP_ahuB4/видео.html

@@fossillife8372 You never heard someone say, "I'm going to put my two bits in"? I have.
Pirates often captured ships loaded with exotic silks and materials suitable for royalty. A frightening sight. A pirate dressed in royal clothing
I bet theres still some treasure there, waiting to be found.
Doubt it that area been dived thousands of times. Most of which were over the months following the sinking.
Allegedly there is still treasure down there most of which can't be move because of some ancient magic or something of that sort as a Jamaican you hear these stories a lot.

Very good material and well presented! Probably your best video on quite a while! Loved it. Keep up the good work, sir!
There is a skipping song-chant that I remember from my childhood. 2 bits 4 bits 6 bits a dollar. There were various lines after that, mostly invented on the spot, but it's interesting to find out where the local idioms came from.
The girls mostly used the next line " I charge 16 bits to make you holler " it's hilarious that they were saying that you can sleep with me for 2 dollars without even understanding the words coming out of their mouths.
Surprised you didn't mention that two bits was all you needed for a shave and a haircut ...
Today you need 80 pieces of eight for a haircut 😄
Jamaican history is interesting and colourful. There are still forts in port royal today. And partially sunken building from the earth quake. You can also go diving to view the city.
Hilarious, " Hippity, Hoppity, the Island's my property." LOL LOL
You’d be an amazing history teacher/professor.
that was a lot of fun AND an excellent history lesson. Thank you
Hands down one of my most favourite places in Jamaica. It’s a wonderful and interesting tourist attraction. Please go visit. The old ruins are still there and the sunken city is frozen in time.
Port royal is actually filled with gold because many pirates buried there treasure there and a lot of other valuable things. But no one can take the gold because it’s Spanish gold and they were stolen by English pirates and both sides don’t want to split the money so it just stays there
You should definitely do a video on the origin and history of money!!!

Fun fact: London acctually became wealthy cus of piracy and "trade" (mostly piracy tho)
Yes they just called it privateering though LOL
The proper question is "why wouldn't tharr be!?"

So, it's the FIRST Disneyland for Pirates, and, OTHER adults, ever!?
Most cities produce a lot of gases but this one has nothing but arrrr gone! 🏴☠️
Sounds like a great place to dive and dig for treasure. Wish I had the means.
@@chronotone833 Depends how deep it is and the composition of the stuff it's buried in. If oxygen levels are low, things can survive for a very long time. Gold is pretty much immune to rust anyhow.
As for silver oxide, you can heat it to produce silver and oxygen. Not sure how economical that is though, if at all.
I like this, it’s informative but cool and interesting at the same time
