I've lived in North Carolina a long time. Nearly every house in existence from Blackbeard's time in the coastal areas has some fantastical Blackbeard story, including secret passages, wives hung from trees, blah blah blah. Legend says Blackbeard's headless body was thrown in the water and swam around the boat 7 times before sinking into the depths. Descendants of Blackbeard's crew still live in Ocracoke. There is an entire street of Howards in Ocracoke Village, all related to Blackbeard's quartermaster William Howard. So in a way the golden age lives on.
I grew up in nags head NC I dated a Howard girl she was definitely a pirate. And I’ve never been to any houses that old like from the time of black beard but I used to love eating at the Jolly Roger restaurant in kill devil hills and apparently the woman on the Jolly Roger commercials was directly related to black beard and she owned it too. She was also very piratesk
Once again informative and gracfully executed, i cant belive BBC quality documentaries are uploaded so quickly for FREE, an amazing channel, keep up the good work
This wouldn't make BBC. Not a snowball in hell. It's terrible naration. Like a totally exaggerating slow drawl. Hes from some us indie theatre company?
I don't understand why they don't shoot more movies or series about pirates. It is quite an interesting history full of adventures and naval battles. We need more content on that.
Didn't even realize this was on runner-up! What a cool vid to watch on a lazy Sunday afternoon. I know not what tomorrow will bring. However, i can honestly say today is a good day to be alive! I learned that "privateer, buccaneer, and pirate" are not as ambiguous as I had originally been led to believe. Very interesting!
Actually the writer Eiichiro Oda is inspired from real life pirate Blackbeard and his treasure and he created the story of One Piece based on that. Oda's second favorite pirate crew after StrawHat pirates is Blackbeard pirates.
Bartholomew Roberts, the most successful pirate of the Golden Age was Welsh like myself. He wrote the earliest pirate code and flew an early version of the Jolly Roger. Wales has quite a few famous pirate captains because of the proximity of the sea.
I grew up in North Carolina and all along the coast there's lots of Blackbeard themed shops and attractions. ( Plus I was hoping for you to try to say NC with a southern accent 😂)
Blackbeard married Mary Ormond. They had at least 4 Children, A son John Henry Thach who changed his name from Teach to Thach had 9 children. Some of the children spelled there surname Thatch . Thomas John Thach Grandson of Captain Blackbeard Had 5 sons One was William Henderson Thach 1780-1851 had 5 sons and 1 daughter . Some of his children spelled their surname Thatch . Son James Madison Thatch had 6 children, Son, Stephen Monroe Thatch had 12 children . Son Thomas Daniel Thatch had 8 children. Ananias Thatch 1828-1901 had a son William Henderson Thatch1892-1961. What I want to make clear is Blackbeard has many descendants Some are living today and don't even know they are descendants of Blackbeard
I have to wonder what influence, if any, the pirates had on American colonists who would rise up and stomp the crown out around 50 years later. Blackbeard was relatively humane compared to some of his Golden Age of Piracy contemporaries. He and William Bonney are two of my favorite historical figures.
What a Coincidence! I’m listening to The Republic of Pirates: Being the True and Surprising Story of the Caribbean Pirates and the Man Who Brought Them Down Book by Colin Woodard on Audible at this very moment… 🏴☠️⚔️🤺⚓️📖
Yes they will. There is a cult of assassins during the times of Saladin that was later destroyed by the Mongols. They were fanatical killers that made modern day terrorist amateurs. They were very successful and feared that it took a full Mongol invasion to take out the chain of mountain strongholds. Today we have the Assassin's Creed franchise.
What is Romantic? It's something reminiscent of Rome (ancient Rome). What was ancient Rome? It was the pinnacle of human engineering and government as well as the world's super power with outposts in every far flung corner of the empire ready to stamp out revolt. Today, groups like Al Qaeda, Isis etc. are a direct response to today's superpower with over 800 military installations globally ready to crush any opposition and harass on the seas, on land, in the air and through the web. The United States of Gangsterism will likely be the bad guys people like to study in a couple hundred years as the decline of this empire has already begun.
In a brutal time where empires were conquering colonies and overseas countries. You are surprised that people try to be ‘free’ from this? As they had no choice then to serve most of the time in the navy.
Towards the end of the video the narrator makes mention of characters in Robert Louis Stevenson's 'Treasure Island' as based on known pirates but the character of Long John Silver was based on his friend William Ernest Henley, who is most well-known for his 1875 poem 'Invictus.' Henley suffered from Tuberculosis of the bone and had a leg amputated whilst under the care of Joseph Lister at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary and was fitted with a prosthetic wooden leg (which Long John Silver had). Whilst in hospital he was visited by Robert Louis Stevenson. Henley was also friends with J.M. Barrie (also mentioned in the video) and Henley's daughter was the inspiration for Wendy in Peter Pan on account of having a speech impediment which meant that when she tried to say 'Mr. Barrie' it sounded more like Wendy. Henley was also H.G. Wells' editor. They both lived here in Woking for around 18 months. Wells wrote The War of the Worlds and The Invisible Man while he was resident in Woking and it is perhaps interesting that (subject to further research) the narrator in The War of The Worlds seemed to have lived (in the novel) on Maybury Hill in Woking, near where William Ernest Henley had lived the 18 months before his death on 11 July 1903. Robert Louis Stevenson had died in 1894 but at Henly's funeral at Brookwood Cemetery in Woking and subsequent cremation at Woking Crematorium, both H.G. Wells and J.M. Barrie were among the mourners.
The Queen Anns Revenge was just another tall tail like many others you heard around Beaufort until the ship was actually found off the inlet in the 1990's. Markings on the Queen Anns Revenge wreckage measuring the depth of buoyancy was found to be in units used by the French at that time which confirmed it was once a French ship as it was a French slave ship in its previous life. Forensic evidence seemed to dispute accounts Blackbeard purposely scuttled his ship and abandoned his crew as the canons were found moved to the stern of the ship in an attempt to float the bow. Captured crew were a bitter and vengeful lot before they were hung in Williamsburg VA.
I think its shocking that you mention Pirates of the Caribbean which is fairly old at this point but not Our Flag Means Death in which Blackbeard and Stede Bonnet are the central characters! I enjoyed listening to this documentary though!
Most people believe that pirates stole "treasure" gold silver jewels and such but in most cases spices herbs and liquor was more valuable and that's what they took. They also stole medicine and food, necessities and that's why more "treasure" isn't found
A man named John Cruise-Wilkins who with his father spent 70 years searching in furniture thought to belong to the French Pirate known as “The Buzzard”. It was thought that he left parts of a treasure map in his furniture with the value is thought to be as much as $130 million. So there is a theory to treasure maps.
#2 NO ONE can CAPTAIN a sailing ship of that size without extraordinary skills & intelligence. SO, the man HAD to be of astute background in some capacity.
Fooling around with hypnosis to recall our past lives in Cleveland ‘72. Pablo under hypnosis said the he was Blackbeard brother Howard Teach of Morley, England. I wrote to the archivist and didn’t hear anything......
Bristol England actually and it was William Thatch he served in the Royal navy then joined a Privateer ship as an apprentice navigator few sailors could navigate hence why this youngster was important he also never killed anyone as far as is known.

He must’ve had the help of a the Freemasons or was a Freemason. Most of the knights Templars fled from France and became pirates and such with all the ships the Templars possessed. Freemasons pardoning Freemasons seems legit.
The sea is a fickle lover! All your dreams fulfilled one day, the bringer of doom the next!! But all buccaneers privateers and sailors answer when she sings her song, her lure hard to resist!!
Yes I entirely know about Blackbeard I have a syringe all brass end I already had it tested it's all the metals. Back in the days..... It's over 300 years old and I know for a fact
Sure, hes the stuff of legends when it comes to pirates. But there was another pirate that made one huuugggeee score and then retired, smart man! He was the stuff of legends as well!! Ill leave that name for you to find on your own, as he would make a great short doc!

Did you know that half maybe more of all? Pirates were freed slaves? Can you imagine if they put it right in the movies today ?

Almost every house in Beaufort still flies Blackbeard's flag outside their door.
That's wild!
@@MastinoNapoletano420 The horned skeleton? That's a later invention i'm affraid, he flew a plain black flag possibly combined with a red one

Nice history thanks … I am fascinated with these old stories

i love learning about naval adventures and misadventures. the sea is so vast and unpredictable, and the people that challenge it are incredible.
Finally! I’ve been waiting so long for this!! Thank you!

This is not from the BBC. The commentary is awful.

Because of Disney.
It’ll spark free thought lol
I agree. It would make some great movies.
Plenty of pirate movies from the 40s 50s
Watch One Piece my guy
I'm blown away by how awesome this video is. It's a definite must-watch!

RIP Ray Stevenson. The finest Blackbeard ever portrayed. Thanks again PP.
Next Blackbeard movie will be starring Jet Li
How did Ray Stevenson die

I didn't know he died
Black sail series
I love this channel so much
Black Sails on Netflix did such a good job with his character. He deserves his own show.
Agree absolutely. His introduction has its own RUclips video and is EPIC
Fine......I'll watch black sails again.....

Anyone else here because you’ve been watching Black Sails?
Yeah, but that show sucks
I can’t get enough of that show!!!
No
Nope, never heard of it
I'm here because of his connection to Burlington, NJ.
I got to visit where he was captured.
That whole little port town is interesting.
You can almost feel the history spilling from it.
Today i was playing Assassin'sCreedBlackFlag, the BlackBeard missions,.. now this randomly shows up on my phone!
His One Piece Namesake is awesome! And luffy will be the King of pirates☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️

I’ve kinda missed the part where they say Blackbeard mustered a pirate fleet.
Besides that, great video ofcourse!
New York's former name wasn't New Holland but New Amsterdam!

I'd love to see one of these on Black Bart. An under known pirate.
"they fired a few shots broadside and the French quickly surrendered" *snigger*
I wonder if in 100 or 200 years people romanticize al kaida like they romanticize the vikings or pirates who terrorized innocents of their time.
Yes they will. There is a cult of assassins during the times of Saladin that was later destroyed by the Mongols. They were fanatical killers that made modern day terrorist amateurs. They were very successful and feared that it took a full Mongol invasion to take out the chain of mountain strongholds.
Today we have the Assassin's Creed franchise.
Yeah, they'll probably romanticize about the liberal terrorists
What is Romantic? It's something reminiscent of Rome (ancient Rome). What was ancient Rome? It was the pinnacle of human engineering and government as well as the world's super power with outposts in every far flung corner of the empire ready to stamp out revolt.
Today, groups like Al Qaeda, Isis etc. are a direct response to today's superpower with over 800 military installations globally ready to crush any opposition and harass on the seas, on land, in the air and through the web. The United States of Gangsterism will likely be the bad guys people like to study in a couple hundred years as the decline of this empire has already begun.
The damage done by vikings or pirates is negligible compared to any sort of modern day military.
In a brutal time where empires were conquering colonies and overseas countries.
You are surprised that people try to be ‘free’ from this? As they had no choice then to serve most of the time in the navy.
Captain pug wash was a big pirate. He had Roger the cabin boy and masterbates. On hes crew.
Plus seaman Staines.

That was an excellent episode. I'm going to start practising pronouncing my r's like this narrator.
Awesome
Narrated by Lord Alfred Hayes of all people!

Fascinating. I wish I could visit Teach's old haunts.
I have a fantasy of hanging out with him and Gengis Kahn!
But not in a gibet!
super. Duper. Cool person to cover. Ty for the content.
He didn't wear dynamite in his beard ! 😂 That would hve blown his head off ! Teach wove CANNON FUSES into his beard and lit them.
No he did not! Cannon fuse was not used back then. It was slow match
He spent a bit of time here in coastal South Carolina
I think its shocking that you mention Pirates of the Caribbean which is fairly old at this point but not Our Flag Means Death in which Blackbeard and Stede Bonnet are the central characters! I enjoyed listening to this documentary though!
Can you do a documentary about Captain James Cook
James Cook is a myth..like blackbeard
The Queen Anne's Revenge for the algorithm! 🏴☠️🦜
Most people believe that pirates stole "treasure" gold silver jewels and such but in most cases spices herbs and liquor was more valuable and that's what they took. They also stole medicine and food, necessities and that's why more "treasure" isn't found

My mother also traced our ancestry to Blackbeard and many interesting stories of other relatives around the same time.
