  • Charles Vane was a versatile sailor and one who knew the seas well. However, could it be that his knowledge of the waters and the ships on them, lead him to act with reserve when it came to plunder?

    "When I take something from a man - his ship, his money, his life - I don’t hide behind a clerk. I don’t hide behind the law. I don’t hide behind anything. I look him in his eye and I give him every chance to deny me."

    It's cool how a lot of pirates worked together at some point or had interaction in some way. I think he was just being cautious about things. But a little more chance might have done him well. Thanks for the great video.

      Josh Cook He was also the most selfless character. Even his leadership style was “I’ll put my crew’s needs ahead of everything to ensure their loyalty”. When he saved Flint, he put his personal feelings against him aside and went to get him. It wasn’t out of personal obligation, it was because he knew the weight his name carried for the enemies of Nassau, and how becoming a trophy would ruin them. McGowan himself has said that the only lie Vane said in the show was “I didn’t do it for you” when he told Eleanor he killed Low. Fascinating character.

    I'm thinking this man already had his lute hidden somewhere. He might have been wise enough to be happy with what he had and not be sought after by officials. I would imagine he settled in North Carolina eventually and possibly might have come from there. There were several Pirates Who were known to have settled in North Carolina Georgia and of course Louisiana

    I think saying that like most pirates Vane just wanted more is probably a harsh and inevitably an inaccurate conclusion. What other choices did he have? Become a rancher, plantation owner or farmer? Open a tavern-brothel? A bit tame wouldn't you say? I think like many men before and since, he decided to stick with what he knew with the obvious advantage of working for himself. I enjoyed your video.

  • @chainmasters2178
    @chainmasters2178 4 роки тому +5

    I believe Charles Vane to be the most bad ass pirate of all time! This opinion has very little to do with his character on the show black sails, it has to with how he conducted himself and never ever gave up on the pirates code. Also Woods Rogers is one of the worst people who ever lived.

    • @johnjohnon8767
      @johnjohnon8767 3 роки тому

      I find it ironic that pirates were formerly privateers for the crown. In black sails, woods Rogers claimed to be a privateer once as well. The only difference was one served the crown, and the rest were unemployed after the war with spain.
