- Pirates followed their own rules, and the consequences were brutal for those who decided to break them. Discipline had to be kept on board the ship, and marooning was just one of the cruel and unique punishments that a Captain had in his arsenal. Welcome to Walk the Plank

There was a recent nasty accident between a ship carrying red paint and a ship carrying purple paint. The crews were marooned.
As Bugs Bunny would say, “What a maroon”
🍅
Really went out on a plank with that one…
I don't get it. What does paint go to do with piracy? Who were just criminals on the high seas.
@@cedricliggins7528 what happens when you mix red and purple paint?
Marooning ain’t so bad, in fact I remember distinctly an account about a pirate that easily escaped such a fate using nothing but sea turtles and the hair on his back to rope them!

I remember hearing a story about a sailor who was marooned on an island after his ship was taken, and he ended up being rescued by a fishing boat like a week later. He became a farmer after that. 😂 never went out to sea again.
I heard a story a few years ago about a pirate and a woman being stranded on an island. Turns out the pirate had been there before and had stashed a bunch of rum there. The woman later broke all the rum bottles just before they were rescued.

Another one worth mentioning, Juan de Cartagena led a failed mutiny against Ferdinand Magellan and was marooned on an island in Patagonia in 1520 never to be seen again.
WHY is that one worth mentioning? To establish that Magellan was a dick and not a hero?
The more I hear about pirates and their rules/laws I think they are the true precursor to HOAs
Lol. 😂 Pirates are less unreasonable, especially regarding pets.
It amazes me people who hate HOA's buy into an HOA and then complain about the rules they agreed too😂😂😂
Especially the "they just keep coming" part, with totally different judgement every week for months on end.
This comment is golden
@@michaelmcinerny9859Probably because they’re forced into it as they exist in most developed areas. You sound like an HOA tool.
How much does it cost for a pirate to get his ears pierced?
A buccaneer.

My girlfriend and her friend once left me at the Target food court while she " went to get a few things" two and a half hours later stranded in that god forsaken store they returned, luckily i survived on pizza hut breadsticks and slushis with the few dollars i had in my wallet. Then i remembered i lent her my credit card before we went in the store. Two years and some therapy later i have overcome that ordeal and debt, got my credit score somewhat back to normal. Dont ever fall for "the grab a few things" fellas, especially if she is with a girlfriend.
My dad spent $10,000 on a credit card that my mom paid off...you done with your lame "women be spending money" bit?

I've watched enough "survival" shows to know that beautiful as they are, small islands are VERY difficult to survive on. Conditions are usually so damp that making fire is close to impossible and fresh water is even harder to acquire. Hopefully, there's a Margaritaville or Sandals resort not too far down the beach....😅
"But why is the rum gone?"- Captain Jack Sparrow
I was once trapped in a horrible deathly place. Not to be too much a bummer, but it was real bad. No light at end of tunnell, no hope, trapped forever i thought. Then i got divorced!!!! Life is awesome now!!!

I can't help but feel envy for the men who survived alone for years, particularly while sitting in traffic.

Wasn't that an episode of Dr. Who? Or was it Torchwood?
@@PhlowermomActually Castaway with Tom Hanks
Sounds lonely to me
I really appreciate the narration of this channel and the lack of interaction reminders, very refreshing!
I find it rather amazing how some pirates survived marooning by being able to make use of the natural resources on the islands they were left on. A barren sandbar would be certain death however some of these islands turned out to have water and food sources. So being Marooned meant being kicked out of the krewe more than being a death sentence in some cases. Speaking as a Pirate I like getting Marooned on an island with a great Tiki Bar and pretty ladies! I try to do this often! 🏴☠ Enjoyed your video mate!
You can bet the captain knew exactly where they were marooning the man, be it livable Island or death sentence sand bar.
Beware of butt pirate isle...
_We're dealing with a Tropical Depression at the moment and there's no other place that I'd rather be..._ 🤷🏽♂️

I've been marooned and left to die at a few sandbars.

'The code is more what you call guidelines than actual rules' - Captain Barbossa
Mutiny amongst crew while at sea was in general frowned upon as the ship was left in great peril.
Honestly thought it was one of the more polite ways for professional thugs to agree to permanently disagree. Like "I don't hate you enough to kill you, but you can't stay here anymore. Good luck, tbh"
There is a small, flat, sandy island east of Midway that I was told in the Navy once held a marooned SOB. It took, I think they said, two years -- or was it four -- before he was rescued. That island had no trees that I could see, just bushes and thousands of birds. I saw it from a US destroyer as we passed on the way to Pearl Harbor. The story went that he survived that long by eating birds' eggs -- there being no fresh water on that island either. I assume he must have gotten some shelter from the sun using branches from those bushes.
Hmm. SOB? Seaman on Beach or Serviceman Overboard maybe ...

It's called Sand Island
Captain England was marooned with 2 or 3 pirates, one of them was a one legged man.
That was the man who inspired Robert Luis Stevenson of his famous legendary character... Long john silver of treasure Island novel.
Just found this channel, really enjoy Medieval Madness, so very stoked to have found some more of your content to binge watch!
Cool channel, sucked to be a male living in the Caribbean during the age of piracy. It's like, "You look suspect!" They would either label you a pirate or press you into his majesty Navy. The way I see it the Golden Age of Pirates wasn't so golden.
That seems more like the government being evil.
Nothing changes
Apparently, a ship was stinking so offensive, it could be smelled out at the bay.
I really enjoyed that, huge thanks for the history lesson. Cheers
Fun Fact: Stephen King wrote a short story about a doctor marooned on a desolate sand bar who ended up eating himself.
Ooh I haven't heard of this, do you have the title?
@@ladyjustice9457 It's called Survivor Type and it's in his Skeleton Crew collection
Whaling captains also did this, in addition to many other nasty punishments. I don't think they left the marooned man any provisions
A loaded pistol and a bottle of rum.
Leaving with your life and not being tied and tossed over is plenty enough.
Honestly Marooning (especially if you're alone) seems like a worse fate than outright execution
Depends on the method of execution.
Well yeah, I think that was the point. Long drawn out suffering rather than the mercy of instant death.
Sounds a lot better than living in say, Philadelphia today.
I feel like if I were marooned somewhere with reasonably plentiful resources I could get along in a relatively low amount of misery for quite some time. I've solo camped for weeks on end and LOVED it.
@@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney I suspect the pirates were aware of islands/sand banks which were not plentiful in resources. Dropping someone off somewhere that wouldnt be much of a hardship kind of defeats the point. Its like them making someone walk the plank into 5 foot deep water next to a shoreline haha.
Can't believe I've just turned on a pirate history channel and heard the sweet dulcet tones of Medieval Madness narration. Subscribed before the 10 second mark.
I adore this channel. Thanks for the amazing pirate knowledge! These videos ooze with quality
Those pirates take the honors for history’s biggest haters😂
I love the original channel, I definitely love this one too. Have an amazing week all
I think everyone assumes death is the ultimate punishment, but death in many cases can be an act of compassion, where marooning would be a literal hell on earth, using the pistol on yourself would be the best option in many cases.
Having *once* threatened knifing myself... It isn't. There's a rush of negative-feeling chemicals, so to speak, that flow through your bloodstream when or if you should ever do that. *That* is a self-inflicted torture, and I *don't* feel like shooting myself to find myself dreaming of being in hell with no way out. I also once dreamed of being caught by a hand of hell to be dragged to it. It only lasted a few seconds, and yet the fear and terror of *that* is beyond any other one. Getting murdered? Getting mutilated? Both, by being executed with a chainsaw cutting through your face? Absolutely none of that can compare.
But on the other hand, any time I dream of Jesus Christ... Things look pretty good with him around. I dreamed that I saw him facing soldiers in an army; he faced to the right, and then four or five soldiers ran through him (going towards the left) with their spears or similar weapons. They did absolutely no harm to him, because he was made of water - and how can you destroy a body of water that's self-contained? All soldiers simply passed through him. Sure, boiling water makes it evaporate, but it doesn't destroy water - it only converts to steam.
I don't pretend to understand all in Christianity, although I do take notice that Jesus Christ _not once_ has ever popped up in my dreams as some sort of liar. *However, there are still false christs. Imitators without the substance, confused people, thieves, liars, and even statues.* Yes, even a statue can be a form of worship - people who think they're Christian might just... Put Jesus above them instead of inside their heart - instead of doing what they're supposed to as a way of expressing and exercising their faith, despite consequences of faithless people lying, beating, mutilating, and murdering faithful, loving individuals. Going to Church (or a toxic church) is also another part of it.
The wounds of a friend are faithful, but the dearest kisses of an enemy are deceitful. - Proverbs 27:6.
No way dude! Just keep making moves.
@@GrievousAngeloya that's it keep making moves 😂
@@devanman7920 How do you think people survive in the wilderness against great odds? I doubt you have what it takes. 😂
@@GrievousAngelo Pirates leave people on sand banks which is much worse than the wilderness.
I can’t believe the pirates marooned them the. Returned like 4 times to keep destroying their supplies and chance of escape.
That’s just sadism lol did they literally have nothing better to do lmfao
Thought the exact same thing
I remember correctly most of these Pirates and sailors were also religious so the concept of having to go out by Suicide rather than slow torturous death was also a cruel punishment in of itself meaning that the person marooned would have to choose between suffering to death or allegedly damning their soul as far as religious belief goes
he says this in the video
This is my new favourite channel hands down. Keep up the good work my dude 💪
great video mate
Another amazing video. Well done sir
Sick channel, glad I just found this!

Great video!!!
When i worked for British Rail in London 1979-83 i worked with a Jamaican man, family name Braithwaith, who had done prison time in Jamaica for marooning. He and another were working on a remote island with the boss re-provisioning them by boat ever two weeks. Boss didn't turn up for a while longer, he and his mate slapped the boss and left him on the island...
If God really damned people offing themselves in such situations then it would certainly be a real prick.
Excellent. Thank you.
Nice, easy to understand laws.
The island referred to at 10:24 is I think Mauritius.
Avast there, matey. Either you swab the deck, or you’ll walk the plank. Aaarrrrrrr!
Imagine the horrible B.O. on those hapless ships, but, they all smelled the same so I guess it wasn’t noticeable! Haha!
They could jump in the ocean to clean off. At least they had plenty of access to water.
Just take a trip to India if you want the full effect
An Irishman named England... The inhumanity. LOL 😂
I can't help but think with today's issues that plague the world. That being marooned on a suitable deserted island would be the best thing that could happen to me.
“Suitable” being the key word here… strand me on a tropical island with white sand beaches, banana and coconut trees, internet access, and maybe an occasional visit by hot native girls and I’m good to go 👍
@gregbors8364 I could get by without the internet, and at 70+ the p---y doesn't interest me either.
@@alstclair The fact is that on 99% of “desert” islands, you (or I) would suffer a slow, painful death from exposure, thirst and/or hunger unless you happened to be lucky enough to be picked up by a passing ship. It’s a great fantasy though! I loved “Gilligan’s Island” and “The Swiss Family Robinson” when I was a kid
No beer!

Marooning is much beter than staying on a ship with limited rations... In marooning u can still find food & build a hut if your not lazy as long as that island is in the tropics
Some islands have no trees
@michaelcoletta4547 most islands have nothing. Just sand bars and coral islands with nothing
@@douggaudiosi14 that would be terrible i leave in a tropical island we had alot of food here aside from coconuts and fish..
Not if on a sandbar or barren island

Yes, but on the other side of that same coin are sailors who found their
captain to be so unbearable cruel & jumped ship at a far off place to
escape the captains abuse & possible death. In 1825 a ship pulled into
San Francisco bay for wood & water and an English sailor who was sent
ashore with a working party found it necessary to jump ship and stay
behind. He was the first white man to take up residence where SF is
today. Self induced exile. Life aboard his ship must have been pretty bad.

They understand the alcohol withdrawal so they would leave a bottle of rum if they were alcoholics. Not to drink all at once but to portion it out to detox.
Pirate principles: steal, but if you steal, you get marooned
I am a Jamaican Maroon. Jamaican maroons Traded with Buccaneers, Jamaican Maroons taught The buccaneers how to jerk their food for preservation. That how pairates came to Jerk.. they came to maroon people because we the jamaican maroons were sold to slavery and fought back to be stranded in Jamaica

Who’s black bard?
being a sailor in the ocean that can't swim is like playing "the floor is lava" for years
You have such a similar voice to that dude that does videos about living in Japan
Do you also make Medieval madness?
I got stranded one day while on a Club Med trip. Power went out and we had no way to run the blenders, we lost access to the air conditioner and tv, the blow dryer wouldn't work and after my phone battery died I couldn't use the flashlight function to see how much money I had left and then we had no way to look for the bag of drugs we lost until the sun came up but the power had returned at about the same time and we had found the bag. Anyway, it was awful not knowing what would become of us.
Did you live??
I thought it horrific when I ran out of ice for my cocktail
Oh how awful 😭

Dropping em off on that little island that is home to millions of coconut crabs would be brutal

@@jordant.teeterson3100 I guess I'd choose komodo dragon. If I can get to a good enough tree I could die waiting for rescue and I'm good with that. The crabs will come up there and get your ass.
