Swimming moves (Australian crawl) and treading water weren't known till the early 1900's. That's why you'll never find swimming athletic competitions until then.
@@stylinstu That doesn't mean anything. People knew how to swim before the 1900's. it's not hard to inhale, kick your feet and kick your legs. I'm sure one person on ship knew how to swim they could just show everyone else on ship.

I recently visited St. Augustine, Florida for about a week and was AMAZED at its extensive, pirate-related history that I was lucky enough to learn more about at the historic district's pirate museum, which featured many authentic artifacts dredged up from sunken ships that were mentioned in this video--I was especially intrigued by their exhibit that showcased some of the actual bottles, trinkets, and tools that were used for medical care and found in shipwrecks from 17th, 18th, and 19th century pirate ships! Just absolutely incredible for me to watch this video after having seen first-hand such artifacts less than a month ago--truly stellar!
This is not a joke-🏴☠️ Do you know why pirates wear a eyepatch? It’s because when they take over another ship, it’s usually in the daytime and when they have to go inside the ship it’s very dark. So they would swap the patch to the other eye and the eye that was covered is now acclimated to the dark, it’s was like night vision! 🏴☠️
I hope you could make a video about what Hygiene was like in Ancient to Medieval China, Japan, and Korea. I just have a feeling that theirs is better than in Europe.
I doubt it, Japan had water system starting late 1880s and they were the first to come up with pipe water system. Korea didn’t even get water system till Japan took hold of them. There are videos from early 90s on youtube and it shows European and American countries were way ahead of Asian countries. Westerners were sending Rockets to the space when majority of Asian counties were still riding horses.

All this time I thought it was land lover. Then i googled what the hell landlubber means. Now I feel even more dumb for thinking you guys were saying it wrong.
"Hygiene" and "pirate" is two things that doesnt really relate to each other. Hell even normal crews were.. well dirty as hell basically. Now pirates, whose ideals are to not give a shit about anything.. yup they were even worse.
I used to live in Charleston where the main house was on the 1620 platte and it was purported that it became a bordello and haven for the pirates, particularly Blackbeard, that had a tunnel from the house to the harbor so he could sneak in. Charleston is full of underground tunnels, actually
I've been in nursing 28 years. When I first started an elderly man told me he needed head. He had to explain to me what he actually meant, he was a retired Navy guy🤷♀️😂
I live on the coast of NC and I actually know the man who discovered Blackbeard’s ship here (he lives in Florida) and it’s so cool seeing items in this video that I’ve seen in the museum right here in my hometown. I’m so used to knowing all about Blackbeard and seeing all of the artifacts that I sometimes forget it’s not just my little town’s thing, but actually a large piece of history that is talked about all over the country.
They're really just society's rejects aren't they? It's just glorified now because of the one aspect of the pirate life: Freedom. Which is true, but hard fought.
Rum was a great antiseptic. And there were some dental precautions taken. Europeans did not have a severe problem with tooth decay until after the sugar trade (honey and refined sugar beet were the preferred sources before that) ...and pirates were soon to learn about dental issues and pain/inflammation. In fact they did use seaweed and alcohol to brush out residue and foul odors from their mouth. They were often drenched with storm rain and often used spices to mask odors....(bay rum for example)...but generally were more well washed than landlubbers.
Inaccurate maps gave the Bounty mutineers a hiding place as Pitcairn Island was not properly located on maps of the day. Christian Fletcher really lucked out!
The twig/branch mentioned was most probably Miswak. Which is a branch of a tree that is actually recommended to use today for cleaning teeth. The miswak has a soft fibrous consistency very similar to a toothbrush. It is still sold today and is not a bad alternative at all if you have no toothpaste or toothbrush at hand.
Hahahaha... I knew a similar girl, but instead of pirates, she confessed me that she wanted to be banged by a _neckbeard,_ because in her opinion, and I shit you not, they were "soft and cuddly and probably smell like Cheetos". Needless to say, a series of closer looks and quick smells at various specimens in the wild quickly changed her entire world view...
If we could just for a minute or two smell the stench aboard one of those 17th century sailing ships, I guess there'd be way fewer books and movies romanticizing this particular period and profession. Heck, anyone who's been to the Caribbean or another tropical climate probably can imagine what the smell would be like without air conditioning, deodorant and dental hygiene/medicine *plus* everyone running around in layers of unwashed, old clothes made from wool.
You are right. However I’m amaZed to how we can get used to smells and our brain like erases it. I remember a kid vomited in my bus when i was younger and after an hour or so the smell just disappeared, but every new kid that arrived was horrified by it. I think those guys from history just got used to that shit

How about the story of Ching Shih, a woman pirate of China in the 1800s who was so successful at what she plundered, the Chinese rulers at the time completely pardoned her so she would stop.
Sailors through the ages found out that water goes bad about two weeks into the journey, so they decided that alcohol is a suitable way to disinfect it, so they started making drinks like grog (water + rum + spices) and drank it constantly, they were crews of alcoholics that were in constant need of a drink. Plus the hard tacks that were made in that time are probably still edible today.
A pirate walks into a bar and the bartender looks at him and says "excuse me sir but there is a steering wheel hanging down by your crotch area" and the pirate said "argh it's driving me nuts"
Lol.. to be fair they will not smell that putrid odor because they were used to it.. its like when you get in the car with air freshener you will smell it instantly but overtime your nose will be used to it until u will not recognized it anymore
@@ranholic5027 Your nervous system desensitizes to odors with exposure to them. That's why some people will keep on applying perfume when they don't smell it any more.

I love your videos, not only educational also hilarious! Could you please make a video about infanticide, illegitimate children and single mothers in the victorian era, it is a fascinating topic! Thank you
Not a whole lot of what was mentioned in this video actually applied exclusively to pirates, most of what was mentioned applied to all sailors during this time period. The only real difference between life on a pirate ship and life on a navy ship was that officers lived better and pirates typically elected their captains. But sailors aboard navy ships suffered from many of the same problems that their pirate counterparts did, got paid less, and often faced harsh discipline for any infractions.
To train yourself not to lose hunger by this. I could eat without problems, I personally only struggle when seeing a public execution in the news while eating >:( EDIT: In german news they showed that black guy getting publicly executed by that police man, that was cruel and literally a fkin public execution
I love that he references "noseeums", as: "gnats no greater than a mustard seed whose bite... " ...How funny. No days we know they don't bite, they omit a poison that rashes the skin. Still, that's classic. I've never heard that quote before, and I should have, being a history fanatic(especially one of both pirates and sea-faring). Also am always crazed that some pirates didn't just use seawater to clean their teeth. Salt water would've prevented sooo much rot and disease. 😮💨😑😶
Most people don't realize that "Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me" is something of a parody from Pinocchio, "An actor's life for me." Just a bit of pirate-related trivia!

Aaarrgghh! You're killing me 🤣🤣 my ribs hurt and I can't breathe 🤣🤣 🤣 ROFL 🤣
I gotta give 'em bucks for having strong noses with the resistance to pungent odor
Lol.. to be fair they will not smell that putrid odor because they were used to it.. its like when you get in the car with air freshener you will smell it instantly but overtime your nose will be used to it until u will not recognized it anymore
@@ranholic5027 Your nervous system desensitizes to odors with exposure to them. That's why some people will keep on applying perfume when they don't smell it any more.
They went "Nose Blind" they needed Febreze!

Everything on a pirate ship was kept clean, except for the crew.
This is my favorite you tube channel!
7:16 I did not expect that at all!! 😂😂😂😂
Major props to One Eyed Willie and the crew of the Inferno. You did well, maties!
Pirate punishments would be an interesting topic. Keel hauling for example...Yikes!
"What was hygiene like on a pirate ship?"
What hygiene?
I don’t understand he keeps telling me to subscribe every video but I’m already subscribed
Interesting information concept 👌
Applaudable, praiseworthy and meritable presentation of the video🤘🏻

talented way of arranging the story content🧟♀️
Overall Great expertise and innovative knack✅🎃✅
How was the hygiene on pirate ships.. what are you kidding me it smelled like rum and arm pits 😱
katina whitley and sodomy
I think it was worse than that.
Rumpits!!!!!.....I think I need a few lemons and a wash after watching this! (Shudders) yo ho ho not a pirates life for meeeeee
@ katina: So, if I hear you correctly, you're saying it heavily resembled a college frat house... 😆
And ass 😄🤣
Everybody's hygiene, including landlubbers, was questionable at that time.
I’d love to see a Blackbeard bio video for real though. Great content also!
Not R Kelly 😂😂😂😂😂 its the funny Comentary for me
I love your videos, not only educational also hilarious! Could you please make a video about infanticide, illegitimate children and single mothers in the victorian era, it is a fascinating topic! Thank you
They could do a video about the infanticide of the Victorian Era compared to the infanticide of today's western age
Oof! 😷💀 That R. Kelly shade though.
Can you explain Why he threw shade

Well you know they were shaving pirates belly’s with a rusty razor so it isn’t very hygienic
And they only shaved early in the morning
Wayhay and up the tetanus rises! Wayhay and up the tetanus rises! wayhay and up the tetanus rises!
Earlaay in the mooorning
you know you're a disney when you immediately go "it's yo ho yo ho, guys".
what do want to be when you grow up son?
"imma be a disney"
So glad I found this Chanel!! Just wish there was more videos lol
Not a whole lot of what was mentioned in this video actually applied exclusively to pirates, most of what was mentioned applied to all sailors during this time period. The only real difference between life on a pirate ship and life on a navy ship was that officers lived better and pirates typically elected their captains. But sailors aboard navy ships suffered from many of the same problems that their pirate counterparts did, got paid less, and often faced harsh discipline for any infractions.

Cheers! 🍻
Always been curious about this!
Why did I watch this before I had breakfast!
I started watching DURING breakfast.
Luckily I'm a fast eater, so I got through the meal before things got too grotty.
To train yourself not to lose hunger by this. I could eat without problems, I personally only struggle when seeing a public execution in the news while eating >:(
EDIT: In german news they showed that black guy getting publicly executed by that police man, that was cruel and literally a fkin public execution
Because you touch yourself at night
R Kelly... 🤣😂🤣 I knew there was something about the narrator... He's cool as hell!!!
I love that he references "noseeums", as: "gnats no greater than a mustard seed whose bite... " ...How funny.
No days we know they don't bite, they omit a poison that rashes the skin. Still, that's classic. I've never heard that quote before, and I should have, being a history fanatic(especially one of both pirates and sea-faring).
Also am always crazed that some pirates didn't just use seawater to clean their teeth. Salt water would've prevented sooo much rot and disease. 😮💨😑😶
Most people don't realize that "Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me" is something of a parody from Pinocchio, "An actor's life for me."
Just a bit of pirate-related trivia!
What in the name of scurvy... 💀
They treated personal hygiene like trash, but made sure the whip was spotless....???😂
Loved the R Kelly quip. Made a great video amazing.
"somewhere RKelly enjoyed this video" 😂😂😂 That may have been the best thing Ive heard him say so far LOL!
A+ video!
What a rugged lifestyle! It would be fun to be on one of those ships!
