      The story can be summed up as, they got lucky. Lucky to escape the harbor. Lucky to run into a treasure fleet. Lucky they missed the volley. Lucky the mast fell and the cannon blew up. Lucky a lot managed to escape the wrath of England.
      If this was a film you'd rightly say its contrived as hell.

    I think an example that proves they were not the prudes we presume is a song that was written around the end if the golden age of pirates, called Black Joke, a black joke was slang term for female genitalia. It was a very popular song, and is bascially about the best prosti tute in the world and funny things that happens with her clients. They even named naval ships after the same, it would be the equivalent of naming a ship the USS WAP today. Ironically even the song talks about "in working a joke, as will lather like soap". The song was very popular for over 100 years

    I have had a small interest in “pirate ships”. After watching two episodes of this channel I am happy to subscribe. it’s one of my top three subscriptions I’ve ever subscribed to. Just excellent. Although naval warfare is my focus, the detail without question is more interesting and has information than found on most historical sites. Your use of period images match the talking points just contributes to the clear well spoken narrative.
    Highly recommended to all with interest in this important and intriguing part of world history.

  • @Alex-cw3rz
    @Alex-cw3rz 10 месяцев назад +22

    One unfortunate thing is I wish there were more painting or drawings of life back then in the golden age of priacy (and the times befor then). Because unfortunately no fault of your own it's just what exists, is mostly idealised non-contemporary paintings and drawings or some contemporary ones where there is a tiny sloop in the distance. I do always wonder what was Henry Avery's ship actually like back then, what did pirate towns loon liek or the ones they raided, what was the detailing on a trading ship in that time period. You have so many paintings of ships in the periods afterwards, but so few back then. It is quite a shame as it is such a fascinating period. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places and there are tons, if there are I'll be very happy to find out.

      Same feeling, mate. I plundered a stock of franco-belgian comics in search of 1660's things. All I found is later stuff of, let's say, the tricorn era.
      It was still usable for a TTRPG campaign, but I really miss the large hats and fluffy wigs.
