You and your family (team, ahem) should take a trip up here and visit Escanaba. Well the whole Upper Peninsula really. Theres SO MUCH history for you to soak up from here in the U.P., I swear you could turn it into it's own little mini series at the very least. From Escanaba, make sure to visit the jam making Monks in Copper Harbor. Yes. I said that right. They make amazing jams. Especially Thimbleberry! Go see an old Iron smelting town Called Fayette. It's really something to be inside one of those looking up. Plus waterfalls galore. You can see it all in a week, make some unforgettable memories and meet some really incredible people. Hopefully, I'll get to see THAT show someday. I promise, up here, its truly history that deserves to be remembered.
My grandmother lived in Garden Michigan. She had a story about Dan Seavey docking his boat near town and "There was all kinds of screaming and noise from the boat" her brothers went to investigate and when they saw it was "Old Dan Seavey " they new it was just better to leave them alone.
That’s about as boring a story as you could have shared. “My mother lived next to Einstein - one day he slammed the door. Nobody complained though - bc it was Einstein.”
Dunno. I liked his story. I've been to the Garden peninsula. Nice area. Fayette is a interesting (ghost/park) town. I bet he was a wicked bastard too. Would not have wanted to cross paths with the likes of him. Of all the regions of all 50 states the UP has breed the most interesting, dogged and questionable people I've meet. The history up there is amazing. Fun fact... The copper rush in Michigan was more valuable dollar wise than the California gold rush. Part of the area is thick with iron. Jump in a puddle and your socks will be forever rust stained.
When I was in high school, I had a history teacher who found colorful characters and brought history to life in this manner. As a result, I became a lifelong history buff. I was born on the shores of Lake Superior. As a teen, I often walked the shores in the morning mist, and attribute the seduction of mirror smooth ground swells rolling against agate shores, for the wanderlust which lead me to become an Arctic and Antarctic Merchant Marine captain. Thank you a wonderful snapshot of Great Lakes history.
I LOVED THIS!!! I absolutely loved this story. But then, again, I do drive a schooner with cannon on the Chesapeake Bay and dress more than a bit like a pirate. As Mark Twain once put it: "Now and then we had a hope that if we lived and were good, God would permit us to be pirates." (from Life on the Mississippi) And to think I'm a retired judge!
What a colorful character!!! Pirates definitely make for good stories. They tend to be such unique, charismatic non-conformists, captivating and fascinating generations.
I like how one of the pictures included was of the dynamite cruiser USS Vesuvius one of the US navy’s strangest combat vessels of the Spanish American war fame , a quirky goofy ship .
If his life and adventures were made into a movie, the required; based on a true story, would have to be repeated more then once throughout the film. Larger than life seems a rather tame description. I loved it. Thank you.
@@christopherpotts5681 They already did the sequel. It's called "Deliverance". The banjo player is the forgotten love-child of the Butt Pirate and his sister.
Interesting that the US Navy ship, pictured around 1:45, is the one-off USS Vesuvius. On the bow are shown the three "Dynamite Guns", that make her so unusual.
You have no idea how relieved I am that I'm not the only one here with that incredibly obscure bit of knowledge occupying space in their head for some reason 🤣
@@zackakai5173 Oh I have SO much useless trivia up there. I am seriously into History, particularly Military History. As a US Navy vet, there's a lot of Navy stuff.
This type of relatively small history within the larger context of national or world history is my favorite kind of history. Being more individualistic and personal it has a way of making it more intimate, more flavorful. I like this episode very much. It's humorous, twisty, fortunes and failures is an intriguing tale. While stories of pirates are quite tasty, stories of historical legends like King Arthur, Robinhood and a lesser extent, Dan Seavey, tickle my mind.
I spent a lot of time in Escanaba and even lived there for a few years. I've got to say, this Dan Seavey sounds like an upstanding fellow compared to most the folks you'd find there these days.
Around 1969 I watched a WWII movie involving zillions of cans of beer floating in the ocean- I think maybe Pabst? Its title I'd love to know... that and another film in which a bus is run on coconut shells are my main two Mystery Movies of my life! At that age the big thrill was more Dad than the film... wish I could watch one more movie with him- he was partial to Don Knotts movies...
Hi Pygar2. Thanks for reminding me that I have a Mystery Movie, too. I saw it in Germany, sometime in the mid-1950s. It involved a mystery, shetland ponies, and two boys. Because I saw it with my father's German secretary's niece, I'm sure the movie was either in German or had German subtitles. I've tried Google searches, but haven't found it yet.
I lived outside Gladstone, just up the shore from Escanaba, a few miles. Until they put in the Locks in the Soo, the Iron ore was hauled by train to Esky and loaded there. and even in the 80's a large percentage went out via the rails to the ore docks there. I've not looked to see how much still is, but I see less trains when visiting there than when I was a kid, and at time it is a freight train, not ore. For a while some of the ore ships were too big to navigate the locks, so they could only go into Esky to be loaded. The trains ran past my childhood home just across the road, and I can still sleep though one going past the intersection back up there (Ma and Dad's camper is on family land there). I have heard of Seavy before, but about lower lake area and Chicago events, and didn't realize he was ever in Marinette (I work in the city) Peshtigo, or Esky.
Having grown up on the shores of Lake Ontario, I always enjoy stories about the Great Lakes. Small quibble; Milwaukee WI to Dawson City YT is less than 15% of the way around the world. I also grew up to be a geography nerd 🙂
As per usual enjoyed your episode for today and as a lifelong Michiganian maybe even a little bit more so. Nice sweater by the way, great color and happy Spring!
You've had a lot of great stories on this channel. This is one of the best. It's great to remember someone larger than life, living by his own law, even as civilization inevitably approached. Thanks!
Another cool story worth looking into way up North is the last battle between native Americans and the United States which took place at sugar point on leech lake in Minnesota October 5 1898
Spectacular job Brother thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise and for taking us on another great adventure hello from Detroit Michigan 👋 94/275
This was nice there are more then just the pirate .you got the purple gang ,frank gow,captian kiah and his surfmen,Abigail becker, William Johnson the other pirate on the great lakes,,Rocco Perri,and Isadore blumenfeld .I love hearing stories of the great lakes .yes I am a proud Michigander.
YESSSS!!! LOVE THIS!!! That guy sounds terrific. Definitely all great stories involve pirates!! w00t!!! I mean, okay, maybe he was a shifty jerk who didn't do much good. Pirates are, generally, dirty criminals. But like whatever, his is a terrific story that deserves to be remembered!
Neat seeing a video on! I recall meeting the author who wrote a book about this pirate in Traverse City and seems Frankfort or a little further down the lakeshore. Trying to recall if the same author who wrote about a story I heard regarding a U.S. Marshall and Bishop being murdered in the area... maybe more around the Empire area? I forget, may be just a story I've heard growing up in the Mi west cost area the more I think about.
I was born in Wisconsin, and I have spent many a day on the shores of Lake Michigan in childhood. Been to a few of the Maritime museums there and even toured the HMS Rose when she made a stop in Milwaukee. I never heard of this early 20th century Pirate of the Great Lakes until now! I've been in Florida most of my life and went on the account 5 years ago. Now I know why! Raise the Black and a swig of rum to Captain Seavey!
In high school, our History teacher was also the football head coach and he didn't give a damn about history or the students. He required us to memorize dates and facts and actually copy the textbook word for word by ink pen on paper. I simply refused to comply with that nonsense and was rewarded with a grade somewhere between a "D" and an "F". That guy was a hard man to please. I prefer your method, History Guy.
You say he sailed the Wanderer from Escanaba, Wi which made me curious. I only find an Escanaba Lake there. Escanaba, Mi is a port city on Little Bay De Noc, north shore of Lake Michigan and only 60 miles from Wisconsin. Possible source error? Aside from that, very interesting story. Being from Michigan and growing up on the lakes, I have heard other stories of "minor piracy" by individuals relieving small vessels of their cargo. Seavey seems to be one of these who didn't keep a low profile. What an adventurous life, albeit a good bit larcenous. Sorry, I saw your correction after I posted.
Lake Oneida, just North f Syracuse, NY is now part of the St. Lawrence Seaway. In the late 18 and early 1900's was the source of a thriving fresh water fishing industry (mostly what we called Walleye pike). There was also a thriving piracy industry focused on stealing nets with catches. This was the only criminal activity that my Irish antecedents' did not cash in on.
OH MY!! DOLLARS TO DOUGHNUTS!!! YOU NEED TO DO AN EPISODE ON "OLD TIME SAYINGS"!!! 19 OT 6!!! Old men calling women BIRDS!! There's a million of them & some of us like to still use them so we don't FORGET!!! I used to LOVE hearing my older family members use the terms!! And what I wouldn't give to hear that again!!! 👍👍😉😉
Mooncussing- They cussed when the moon was bright. On Cape Cod they tied a lantern to a broomstick and walked a donkey up the beach. It looked light a light swaying on an anchored ship. Then the target runs aground on the bar. And remember loot THEN burn.
As many viewers have noted, Escanaba is on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, not Wisconsin. I apologize for the error.
As you pointed out in another episode (ruclips.net/video/TcJChM_DXPw/видео.html), Escanaba SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN WISCONSIN, but we was robbed!
It's all wilderness so it's hard to tell where one starts and one ends. Mich tried to give the UP to Wisconsin they replied we have enough wilderness
That's OK, We who grew up in the area understand. The best part is that you pronounced Peshtigo correctly this time.😁
@@LTDunltd I love it. I had a big smile when he did
