Sailors in general have always been - and in most places still are - an overly superstitious bunch. Pirates just “added” (extra) to it…as they often did with most things. 😄
@@merlapittman5034 Sure you can.…problem is you’re recommending an entirely different and separate channel (and youtuber…with a completely different voice) - this guy’s second channel is called *Medieval Madness.*
As always, very interesting! I'm fascinated by superstitions. I'd like to see a full episode of pirate superstitions and curses
I knew remaming a ship could be bad luck, it just suprises me that pirates renamed their ships so often given this superstition.
Aren't they more like guidelines?
🤣😎

First comment. Yay! Keep up the good work on both your channels!
What’s the second channel?
@@HistoryofPiratesrief Case -I can recommend it! Sorry, I made a mistake - Medieval Madness is the second channel, and it's very good!
@@HistoryofPirates It’s called *Medieval Madness* - the guy in the other comment mixed up different youtubers.

3:45: Was he the origin of "the dread pirate Roberts"?
11:25: I have heard that mariners who wore gold hoop earrings wore them to pay for a funeral if they were found washed ashore. Comments?

I believe the Unwritten Book of the High Seas was most clearly explained by Captain George Carlin. 😉
