Blackbeard blockades Charleston! | Pirate Battles
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 лип 2024
- On the 23d of May, 1718, Blackbeard's flotilla blockaded the river entrance to Charleston, South Carolina - putting a complete stop to local trade. Within a weak, he will enter the harbor of the town itself, guns fixed on the neat colonial homes, black flags flying. Will Blackbeard demand a ransom? Will he burn the city to its foundations? He shows no interest in such things. He is about to undertake the boldest move of his career, perhaps the boldest move of any pirate...all for a chest of medicines.

Here's my pirate meme :
(An English ship has been captured by Edward Low , but the captain locked himself into his cabin , believing that he is safe from the pirates...... HE IS WRONG THOUGH)
Edward Low : Captain of the ship......captain of the ship.......let me come in.😈
The captain of the English ship : NOT BY THE HAIR ON YOUR CHINNY-CHIN CHIN !!!!!!!!!😨
Edward Low : THEN I WILL HUFF! AND I WILL PUFF! AND I WILL BLOW YOUR CABINE IN !!!!!!😈😈😈😈
(And with that the pirate captain breaks the cabin's door with an ax)
The captain of the English ship : AAAAAAAAAGH !!!!!!!!😱😱😱😱😱
Edward Low : HERE'S EDDIE !!!!!!!!!!😈😈😈😈😈
Very interesting
There were much bigger raids in terms of the number of pirates, the value of the loot, and the destruction caused. But there is something distinctly memorable about blockading a port for STD medication.
That's gangster.
Hey brother! Recently finished writing a novel about pyrates, and used a lot of your videos and the guy from Pirates Port as reference! Wanted to let you know I absolutely admire and enjoy your content!
Great stuff GNG
This came out on my birthday so I'm considering it a gift 😂
Thanks for the pirate lore as always!
Happy BDay!.
happy birthday!
Being from south Carolina and growing up with all that history is a awesome thing and I'm hoping to take my wife down to visit family next year. She will love all those buildings and home from the 17th century and the history.
Fancy seeing you here. Long time no see.
Gotta come back to this later tonight but so looking forward to it
'On Stranger Tides" by Tim Powers is a great fictional pirate novel, Blackbeard figures prominently in the novel. (One of the POTC movies was very loosely based on some parts of this book, but you wouldn't even notice if you didn't know)
Yeah ive heard its good, not much of a book reader tho unfortunately
it was tough waiting for this, great job
Enjoyed your video mate. I'm reading a book by author and historian Robert Jacob regarding pirates that operated around Florida. I didnt realize some of the towns on the East coast of Florida had claims that Blackbeard had visited there. The author debunked every one of those claims! Lol!
I really would like to see and aftermath of the pirate era, something like what happened to some famous pirates crew, if they become rich, if they settled in some place and had an impact in the colony.
Excellent work
Great video!
I enjoy these very much!.
Interesting info
Thanks for clarification, great vid❤️
im pretty sure it was blockaded because captain flint was being held there, but close enough
Funny
And Vane decided to waltz in on his own just for the shits and giggles.
The LSD Will kick in at 15:15

@@GoldandGunpowder “ Looks for large amounts of Mercury and a Rusty Syringe to inject himself with “
Thanks for giving us the facts as best can be confirmed from real sources , great channel im going to check out your second channel when im done watching the rest of this channel
Ebic. Idk why youtube just gave me the notification for this video.
Hype!
So maybe a dumb question but how did pirate ships get drinking water in the 15th.?
by filling barrels and clay jars
I want to see a pirate movie like Master and Commander.
👏
2:16 gasp* you didn’t said golden age of sea roving!
the video: takes place in 1718
golden age of piracy: 1710s-1720s
@@GoldandGunpowder damn, how could I miss that. I’m sorry Williem-sensei!
Funny since they hung stede bonnet in Charleston
Charleston is the first city that is called the holiest city executed pirates like Stede Bonnett and the pirate hunter buried at St Phillips church William Rhett along with the first female serial killer Lavian and pirates were hung to see and the birds ate the flesh and bones cast into the sea
