all i can think is the people that want to try to use the past to identify with them now sexually probably wouldnt if they did even a little research

Good ole religion as an excuse. If it's not good for anything else it certainly is good for that.

I'm reminded of seeing this one tweet by some fatherless minor snarkily expressing disbelief that historians didn't conclude two male skeletons found in the same bed on a sunken ship were homosexual lovers. People nowadays seem so hopelessly porn-addicted that some can't even fathom that people slept communally for most of human history. It wasn't uncommon to sleep in the same bed as virtual strangers.

The Real Gol D. Roger

I could see Jack wearing Calico. The British banned its import. I could see him smuggling it and wearing it, in protest. Much like Blackbeard, he protested the English king and tried to ruin the English economy.

I'd be "gay" if I had such jolly adventures 😉

I heard that book the General History of the Pirates is a great source! And if you guys are into ancient history at all there’s another one I would recommend called Historia Augusta. That’s also a very accurate source.

Although Privateer and not a pirate, Woodes Rogers A cruising Voyage Around the World is a fascinating read and apart from many other adventures, it explains how they captured a Manila Galleon and failed to capture a larger Galleon.

0:39 the average viewer doesn't know the term golden age of piracy. I had never heard that term before RUclips recommended me this channel. The average viewer sees the movies and thinks 'mmm funny pirates going on adventures'.

"Hello Pirate... Why are you gay?"

SEAMAN!!!!!

Fantastic! I found your channel while researching for a story, so this is an ideal series for me

Ahh but you have heard of him.

Loud n clear. Nice

"Before getting into the thick, juicy meat of the video..."😂

I personally prefer the old sound system

Great to see these. Hope it is a long running series as there are a lot of strong references, both common and obscure.

For those wondering, the author's name is spelled, Alexandre O Exquemelin.

I’m definitely down for more book reviews Also the new sound system is good and clear.

The sound system is great. No background noise, seems fairly constant, though a tad quieter than usual. As for the book, Buccaneers of America is a few books down on the list for my bookshelf additions.

Just couldnt resist, could you?

Excellent. I always love contemporary sources.

La passion qui anime cette discussion est palpable. C'est comme sentir le pouls de l'intellect collectif battre à l'unisson.✨

The guy at the bottom looks like Albert Einstein.

"Why are butt pirates, butt pirates? They just arrrrgh."

Albert Hicks

I just wanted to say that "Borgnefesse" is two words. "Borge" indeed means "One-eyedness", but "Fesse" means... Well, buttcheek.

I play Irish music (fiddle, tin whistle), and there’s actually an older song called "I Am A Maid That Sleeps In Love"-which you can find on YT recorded by the band Solas-and its lyrics provide a small glimpse into a homoerotic captain… in a way. Long story short, a boy-crazy girl (or young woman?) follows her "love" aboard a ship he's leaving on, by simply dressing as a sailor boy, and being recruited by the captain! I’m assuming it’s a pirate ship, or something "non-sanctioned", because she is so easily is recruited, while disguised as a male. I don’t know that the navy would be that easy to infiltrate. They’d probably have fully nude strip searches and physicals. Not saying a pirate ship would be any easier to infiltrate, but just comparatively speaking. That’s how obsessive she was. She says she’ll cut off her "yellow locks" and "men’s clothing I’ll wear-on". She ends up being recruited on the same vessel as her boy, dressed as a boy. Then somehow, apparently, 'his' (her) bed is in the captain’s quarters? Or very close… or the captain snuck in to whisper this to 'him': _The very first night that the Captain laid down on his bed to sleep, these very words he said to me: "I wish you were a maid…your cherry cheeks and ruby lips, they’ve often enticed me… I wish to the gods, unto my heart, a maid you were to me."_ So… sexual tension at sea (already on the first night?!) apparently caused this captain to begin noticing the "Ruby lips" and "cherry cheeks" of his fellow shipmates… and this one just so happened to be a female, in disguise. Wonder what else he was noticing and wishing for…

"On Sodomy" 🤣 ♥️

Rrrrr! We be here to plunder ye booty.

skibbity rizz ley your so skibbity your so fanem tax i just took a shart for the rizzler

There was a "neo golden age" of piracy! Cool

What movie were those scenes from?

This explains a lot….

I'd give him props for the women and for using what he had access to. You never know what he did before he was captain. Maybe he just wasn't cut out to be captain, maybe he wasn't even interested in the big ships, crazy battles. Maybe he just loved the sea

Not disagreeing with you but That's such a long time ago he could have done more than what's stated(or less). Some people could have lied not documented stuff, documents could've been lost. Some things could be true but heard from word of mouth and not written down by a souce. Some things could've gotten lost or altered from story to story.

I believe buggery was much more common & accepted among seamen, than the narrator suggests, due to the famous quote of Admiral Lord Nelson, "Life in the Royal Navy consists of equal portions, of rum, sodomy, and the lash."

Winston Churchill once said, it was impossible to get a conviction for sodomy in an English court, because, "Half the jurors believe the act to be physically impossible, and the other half are doing it."

14:33 "...[A]nd the choir boys, of course." Ah, there's "Nothing new, under the Sun," as the saying goes!

Q: WHY couldn't Oscar Wilde have written the "Canterbury Tales"? A: Because, everybody KNOWS, that, "BUGGERS can't be CHAUCERS!"

They were pirates, they did whatever they wanted and could get away with.

From 17:33 to 19:26 is a topic that Black Lives Matter need some educating on.

Would you be open to reviewing Netflix's "Lost Pirate Kingdom" docu-series and judging its historical accuracy?

People desperately want to project current year values and ideals onto the pirates of the golden age. People like the idea of pirates and they love the idea that they were just like them in their beliefs. The fact is that they were a product of their time and their beliefs and values were those that people of that time held. They weren’t bastions of 21st century morality before it was cool, they were simply outlaws doing outlaw things that they had outlaw justifications for doing.

AXEL?!

What would they douche with?

I was going to say i thought pirates were one of the parts of history where the homosexuality is played up, not down.

Sounds like me, fascinated with all subjects, but with a love of action and adventure. Oddly, I am also mostly a loner despite having lots of friends who always chide me being never coming by or answering my phone. I am also an animal lover. He’d have been a good travel companion for me. He’d keep to himself, but once in a while we could chat.

In this “movie,” they’re basing Tavor’s speech and love of gold on modern Armenians in the LA area. I live here and have many Armenian friends. They’re also stereotyped as loving to show off gold, black Mercedes and being shady businessmen.
