It's alright to blunder for king and queen but when you start doing yourself it's against the law
-
Honestly Captain Kidd just seems like a guy who desperately wanted to climb the social ladder, but his failure as a privateer and the pressure from his crew made him an unwilling pirate
-
I need more documentaries about pirates like this. Pirates are so fascinating.
-
Kidd, Avery, Teach, Jack, Bonnie, Reid, Roberts. The Greatest of Pirates. They may have done some awful things, but something about their rebellion is inspiring, and for better or worse their legacy is immortal.
-
If you like this type of stuff. The show from a few years ago called Black Sails is THE best pirate show ever. And one of the best shows in general. It has everything I would ever ask for in a pirate show. It's a legit 9/10 show. If you're into the age of sails, piracy and British naval expansionism type stuff with the Americas/Caribbean of this time period it's a must watch. I already watched the series a second time since it ended. It's only 4 seasons but it was ended perfectly.

The crew who was too drunk to fight back in order to avoid capture....that next morning hangover must have SUCKED....lol
-
If you don't cut government in on the loot then you are an outlaw.Funny how that works 🤔
-
The most important takeaway from this is that there is still definitely buried pirate treasure out there! Let's go!
-
I must've read Stevenson's "Treasure Island" at least 20 times stretching from an enamored 9 year old to a salty 70 year old. My favorite TI movie is the one with Christian Bale that treated the story seriously.
-
I have always enjoyed reading about pirates, this was very well done !
-
I'm from Pittsburgh and I'd say the golden age of the Pirates was from 1960 to 1979.
-
The true golden age of piracy came around a century before the events described in this documentary, when pirates such as Sir Henry Morgan sacked cities rather than merely taking unarmed merchant ships.
-
We have lost so much of history. Its even worse that someone painstakingly compiled whole books and they are either destroyed lost deliberately burnt and gone forever out of memory
-
I’m really happy that you guys did something about Pirates
-
The young lady singing at the 42min mark is INCREDIBLE!
-
idk what it is about the banger at 41:30 but I have listened to it dozens of times
-
I love stuff involving ships and the ocean. Love learning about shipwrecks, exploration voyages, etc. Like a lot of events that happened in history, pirates have been romanticized over time and as a result, what we've perceived as how these people lived is not all true.
-
"10% for the Big Guy" has been around a long time.
-
How disappointing, Captain Kidd being one of only 4 pirates I could name, had a very short and minor career compared to other pirates
-
I had just been wanting to watch a documentary about pirates! What luck, well done.
