The Hierarchy and Responsibilities of Crew Members onboard a Pirate Ship...

It was all well and good roaming around the high seas, robbing people of their valuables, and swaggering about adventuring, but a pirate ship couldn’t function without order and structure. At their core, pirates were essentially great sailors because a pirate ship needed the same maintenance and care as any other, especially as it had to catch up to escaping merchant ships whilst being hunted by a fully armed naval vessel. Every crew member had to play their part, from Captain to Powder Monkey let’s look at the many complicated duties of these rum-swigging rogues. Welcome to Walk the Plank.

I loved the different way of presenting
Cheers

I'd love to see more first person narration! It really immerses the viewer in the dangerous world of piracy.

[terriwetz]

Would love more of this first person narrative but more in-depth please.

[LeloniBunny]

A little n'ARRR'ation every now an' again adds some shiny charms into the education treasury. :)

[lindahouston]

I definitely want to see more like this! It was very interesting!

[yoptastic]

Really liked the video and narration, feel totally in Pirate world as soon as you start. Good to know who's who and what their jobs were. 👍😊⚓

[TheZachatree]

Enjoyed this format a lot. Would be happy to see more like it. I listen to your videos while I work and you’ve put me on a few audio books that have been really fascinating. Officially subscribed

Ohhh I'm obsessed with the first person perspectives on this one; love how you were able to give each crew member a distinct personality!

[Subjectively]

Love your videos! Also love that you used MTG art (I play a pirate deck)

[josephwear]

Say could do you do the same first person narration for a naval crew at the time or even a privateer crew? They’d have both similar but also vastly different roles.

Great channel, love the English history episodes too. Don’t know if you have it yet, look into the princes in the tower castle who got rubbed out, or any of the royal poisonings or beheadings please. 😊

[jhovanyv]

Thanks needed this for a dnd campaign.

[CollinMac]

You’d think powder monkeys would be respected more. They play an equal role in ensuring the marauders live to tell their tales

[RobertOKeefe-zp]

very informative! love the first person perspectives, where do the common sailors rank? under the powder monkies or of equal rank!

I'm not as much of a fan of the getting into character aspect. It's not make or break though
