      To be fair, jack knew how to fight with a sword, and so did most of his crew. To be extra fair, pirates irl weren't just dumbasses with sharp objects, they knew how to use said objects to a good degree. Now as for the shot being wasted on a deck hand if it was even able to shoot at the time, not sure.

    He's not entirely right about the salt pork or beef. They would almost always soak or boil the meat to extract most of the salt out of it and soften it up a bit before cooking with it.
    Same with the hardtack, they rarely ate it straight as rock-hard bread, they'd typically cook it into a stew or at least dip it in water or grog.

Pirates can hang out near coastlines and refill their water often enough to be way less of an issue, and carrying excess water around to make the ship seem like a heavy, slow, harmless merchant ship was a good idea anyways. Being a pirate might have sucked, but it certainly wasn't nearly as bad as being in a legitimate navy.

    My favorite pirate was Black Bart Roberts. He was literally captured by pirates ☠, was forced to join the crew because he was a navigator, then when the captain died he was voted in as captain. Then he said, oh fck it, a short and merry life we will have. Then went on to have a suicidal charge across the sea, and is BY FAR the most successful pirate in the Atlantic. He captured over 400 vessels, to put that into comparison, black beard captured 30. And he died straddling a cannon while the rest of his crew were drunk and afraid. Man was a fckn MAD LAD!

    Not to mention (something you don't see in most pirate movies) splinters. In those sea battles, the ships are made out of mostly wood. In the movies, you see cannons blowing up parts of a ship while the crew run around panicked. You don't see people getting their faces shredded to paste when a cannon hits too close and sends thousands of pieces of sharp wood flying at them.
    Also drowning. People drowning all the time. Being stuck inside a capsizing ship, or being nowhere near land when the ship goes down... Lots of bodies down there. Hard to swim 100's of miles when your leg just got blown off.
    Infections, too. Barely any medical supplies. If you're lucky, there MIGHT be a doctor on board, but he's not gonna be able to do much besides bandage you.

    In pirate combat the cannon balls would hit the ship mostly and create a huge wave of splinters. Being hit by the splinters would cause many of the pirates to lose body parts or they would even die. This is what formed the stereotypical image of eyepatches, hooks and peg legs for pirates.

    Edited Fun fact: Pirates made grog because the lime in it has vitamin c a vitamin that helps prevent scurvy a not so fun disease. They could have just brought a bunch of limes on ship but the fruit would have gone bad in a few days and putting lime juice in their watery diluted alcohol made it last a lot longer, taste a bit better and helped prevent scurvy. Also pirates are people too.

Legal ships were even worse than pirate ships imo because sailors had no individual rights, merely a wage but not ownership in the venture, they would also get scurvy and die in battle. They also didn’t get any say in the running of the ship. Idk in what way this video thinks it’s making its point about pirate life sucking

      Pirates moreso.
      - They would be turned away from any port that wasn't a free port.
      - They would be ruthlessly hunted by the most powerful navies on the planet.
      - Since pirate culture was lawless, said free ports were rarely safe and one always had to keep looking over their shoulder to avoid being stabbed or shot or robbed.
      Same with any life of crime, it's going to be harder than if one decided to remain within the bounds of the law.

      @@bluntcabbage6042 Law-abiding sailors weren't much better off. They could make port in more places, sure, but those places could be just as violent at times, and common sailors made even less money than pirates and thus couldn't really enjoy their shore leave anyway. (If they even _got_ shore leave; many navy sailors were conscripts known as "pressed men" who were functionally slaves and were sometimes even chained to the ship to prevent them from escaping while in port.)
      For all the violence and misery of the pirate's life, at least they made good money (relatively speaking), they generally had a say in how their ships were run, and they could usually leave whenever they wanted without being pursued. None of these were true for law-abiding sailors. For those with a high tolerance for adversity, the potential benefits of piracy could easily outweigh the downsides; it was not an easy life, certainly, but it was potentially a profitable one.
      (Also, sailors of all kinds generally got more and better food than this video implies; one surviving Royal Navy ration specifies 7 lb hardtack, 4 lb salt beef, 2 lb salt pork , 2 pt peas, 1.5 pt oatmeal, 6 oz sugar, 6 oz butter, 12 oz cheese, and 7 gal beer, _per sailor per week._ Yes, each man was issued a gallon of beer a day. Pirates generally ate a bit worse, but not by that much depending on how successful they'd been recently; much of the "booty" pirates plundered from their victims consisted of food and other supplies, rather than gold or jewels.)

    Not to mention that later in the "golden age of priracy" you could only land at a few select ports (which were far and few between) because if you went to the wrong one (which was most of them) you'd just be hanged on the spot.
    A lot of pirates started out as privateers who were basically civilian sailors like fishermen or merchants specifically contracted by the Crown to raid Spanish vessels until England made them illegal after a truce of sorts was struck with Spain. But a lot didn't get the memo or just wanted to keep raiding because they liked how they could make money in looting the other ships, plus they could resupply stealing the others food and water etc. Eventually gaining infamy also became a draw because it made it easier to get the other ship to surrender rather than have to fight them if the others knew who you were and what you would do. The origins of that kind of piracy is super interesting.

      Actually archeologists haven't found any pirate treasure till today
      It's mostly a stereotypes based on the book "Treasure Island" by Robert louis Stevenson who also drew the famous treasure map with his father.
      Because if the book was real ,we all know the boi won't survive an hour with any of these crewmates

      Noah Alban Privateering had more regulation then just being pirates. You needed a mark of a privateer (document of sort) to be legal and could only operate against the enemies of the nation you got the mark from. Luckily England was at war with Spain a lot. During peace time if these privateers continued then they were pirates and could be executed. Many pirates were privateers first then pirates as they wanted to continue making mad cash and not share it with their employers.

These words lured men to the Grand Line in pursuit of dreams greater than they'd ever dared to imagine. This is the time known as the great pirate era.

    Merchant ships would usually be crewed as economically as possible, meaning there would be like 12 guys manning the whole thing. If they see a pirate/privateer vessel, they just try and outmaneuver it. If they got boarded, theyd just surrender because theyd be outnumbered like 4-1. "A General History of the Pyrates" has lists of pirate capers, and the ships captured have pretty underwhelming headcounts overall.

      Pyrates isn’t a typo. The unknown writer of A General History of The Pyrates didn’t realize, “oh, shit! I spelled it wrong and no one knows who the hell I am!” Back in those days, “Pirate” was spelled with a y instead of a i.

      Grade was just one guy using the same style as many many others did before. It is charming because it is low budget, but it's definitely not his unique trademark. The only really remarkable thing about that guy was how many subs he got in a short amount of time, but the style has been around longer than youtube. I remember watching a lot of that in the early days, and you'll probably remember some memes from that time like NO ITEMS, FOX ONLY, FINAL DESTINATION.

      Scurvy is part of why British Sailors got the slang term "Limey" attached to them from Americans as a derogatory word. British Sailors got Lime Juice in their rations which ultimately didn't prevent scurvy (they were getting lemon juice previously, which I read worked.)

      Fossils wouldn't go off due to a metal detector since they aren't made of metal. You might find some coins, though. Be sure you are on a public beach since the authorities might not take so kindly to it if you choose a private one.
