What are some other pirate videos you guys would like to see?

[JK-smni]

Would be nice to see something about pirates that didn't sail at the caribbean. Met quite a few who didn't have a clue that there were pirates in Europe as well

[drunkweebmarine]

I learned not a thing lol. I’m so glad that you are speaking truth so others know it as well. Shiver me timbers

Great video! I just took a vacation to Ocracoke island and the still fly Blackbeard’s flag everywhere there. Even the ferry boat’s that take you there are flying it.

Awesome channel. I love your research and content!

Was enjoying the voyage and suddenly we heard GOMU GOMU NO....

[MrGotropic]

It is still illegal to fly a Pirate Flag in Canadian Waters according to the Canadian Shipping Act (S-9-1970)

"They're stealing our flag design..."
"Bloody pirates!!!"

[jackhughes]

I'd love to hear some of the roles women might have played during all of the pillage and plunder.

Very nice video..I'm a really big fan of pirates of all shapes and sizes from the age of sail to Somalia in the 2000's and I think it would be cool if you could maybye talk about alot of pirate controlled islands ik you already covered nassau but I think it would be cool if you could look at other places such as tortuga or Madagascar or port royal etc. Just a little request

[grivera]

Apparently there’s a pirate museum in Florida, maybe a next video??

[jimlaughlin]

One last thing....when I was in the Navy my ship the USS Buchanan DDG-14 had the Jolly Roger as it's legitimate naval ships flag.

When out at sea how did pirates identified other pirates when they did not flew the jolly roger?

Was there ever pirate infighting?

Just some video ideas

[wyattmcgee]

4:50 I thought Blackbeard flew the traditional Skull and Crossbones?

[novustalks]

Was the red flag plain red or did it feature designs too?

[UnIovable]

What is the meaning of the expression “jolly roger”? Why the name roger? Why jolly?

[gothamzknight]

I've seen videos that say that the flag described was not flown by blackbeard.

[minisam]

i wonder if the red flag comes from the French Oriflame flag which was flown during the 100 years war to show the English soldiers "no Quarter given / No prisoners to be taken."

Who were the pirates? It takes skill to sail a ship.
