Pirate Superstitions That Drove Crew MENTAL...
Being a pirate during the Golden Age was a risky business, what with all the stealing, killing, and hangings, as well as the unpredictability of the sea. That’s probably why pirates had so many superstitions about what brought good or bad luck or even foretold disaster. It’s really not surprising that they would have a preoccupation with the supernatural when we consider that they faced danger every day and lived with the constant possibility of a sudden and violent death. Some of these beliefs seem to come from a position of practicality and common sense. while others are just downright weird. From banning bananas to bare-breasted carvings here are a few of the pirate superstitions that boggle the mind. Welcome to Walk the Plank...

The Death Sentence Disease That Made Pirates Poop Blood..
Переглядів 56 тис.2 місяці тому
Pirate ships are dirty places to be. There’s no arguing with that - it was just a fact of life that pirates stank, they ate terrible food, didn’t clean their teeth, and absolutely didn’t have flushing toilets. All of those factors combined must have made a pirate ship a disgusting place to live, but imagine crossing that level of poor sanitation with a hospital ward - pretty much a match made i...
Slavery During The Golden Age of Piracy...

Life for slaves has always been indescribably harsh. There is no doubt that being enslaved is - and has always been - one of the cruellest things that we as humans have ever dreamed up. But what would it have been like to be a slave on a pirate ship, and what sort of things would slaves be forced to do? According to some sources, about 30% of pirates were black during the Golden Age of Piracy. ...

Piracy doesn’t always pay. Sometimes cruising on the wrong side of the law get you beaten, tortured, imprisoned, and even sentenced to death. But sometimes the worst option seems to be the one you’d least expect - spending time behind bars. Getting put in prison in the pirate era was effectively a death sentence, albeit a lingering and painful one. Welcome to Walk The Plank! 00:00 Introduction ...

Many people suffer from a debilitating fear called thalassophobia. They experience a fear of large bodies of water like the ocean so intensely that it interferes with their everyday lives. It is understandable though - none of us can truly know what lurks in the watery depths of the ocean. Crushing pressure, inky blackness, and freezing cold conditions mean that only the most specialised creatu...

Pirates were formidable foes in battle, clever and able to outwit their opponents as often as not. They battled the elements, weathering extreme storms and scorching heat, and yet. One thing could strike fear into a pirates heart - scurvy. Pirates were especially vulnerable to scurvy as their diets were incredibly poor, and so they couldn’t get the required level of vitamin C needed to avoid co...

If you’ve watched any sort of film about pirates or seen any of our other videos on this channel, you’ll know that pirates were a bit of an unruly bunch - they lived outside the law for the most part, drank far more than is healthy, and generally didn’t like to follow rules. But the nautical life is not a forgiving one. One misstep could see the entire crew going down with their ship, and mutin...

For captured pirates - especially those who were forced into a life of piracy, either at the point of a gun, or to make ends meet - the ultimate fear was getting captured. Once the law decided to put a stop to the golden age of piracy, they were ruthless in hunting down and arresting pirates of all ranks, from the most powerful captains to the newest sign ups. Granted, the punishments for feare...

The wind in your hair, a gently swaying deck, the creak of timbers under way, the murmur of the sea against the side of the ship... On some days, living aboard a pirate ship must have been truly magnificent. However, it’s more than likely that days like this would have been few and far between and most of us would be completely incapable of surviving any time at all on a pirate ship. Even pirat...

The pirate era was a squalid time where minor infections could finish you off, where a lack of understanding of basic human anatomy meant that people died from malnutrition and other diseases like scurvy, and where medicine was a much more basic affair.

Many of us dreamed of being a pirate when we were kids - the open ocean, wind in our hair, the complete freedom... and most importantly, no parents telling you to clean your room or take out the rubbish.

Pirates were often held in Marshalsea Prison in Southward. With the authorities cracking down on piracy, prisoners were not treated well.

Our planet contains a multitude of species that have only been glimpsed once, if ever at all.

Looking like a snaggle-toothed Neanderthal, “Nikolaus” or “Klaus” Störtebeker was said to have lived at the turn of the 14th century - although exactly when he died is still a little uncertain.

He went to Marienhafe, East Frisia, which is part of Germany, not the Netherlands.
Britain created the golden age then came down on those who had done their bidding!
So funny you described the sperm whale as a behemoth when describing it as a leviathan
Honestly im surprised any species of animals at all survived on this horrible planet.
They didn't speak back in the days they didn't write nor did they have any medical knowledge at all, mych like today no one nows much they don't know that your not dead when your declared dead and no afterlife.
I don't believe pirates ever existed but who knows.
Now when you say "pirate" are you talking about all sea faring crews or actual pirates?
Ruari the Turbulent also known as the last of the Vikings should have been on this list, no nationality was safe from him and the MacNeil of Barra clan, he treated both friends and foe the same and showed no mercy. He got his turbulent name from Scottish authorities because he caused so much trouble and was either because he always lost his temper or because he always sailed in stormy weather when he committed piracy. He even lived like a king and even though he was pardoned by King James the 6th of Scotland he still committed piracy.

Drinking beer would have been much safer than drinking water, due to the brewing process. During the cholera outbreak in 19th century, it was found that publicans and brewery workers escaped the horror of cholera.
This from an era when the average human life expectancy was nearly half what it is today. People can and did live to be quite old back then, from living a clean lifestyle.
Even today, Bananas are one of the most dangerous cargos to carry
The golden age of modern piracy happened about 20 years ago...
The clap wasn't a picnic either. The rail and a board, or death. There are no winning options on that table.

"...feeling like the world is falling out of your ass." Ugh, if that ain't an accurate description of gastroenteritis.
This reminds me of India, currently, they believe if you are bitten by a dog that has rabies, you will have puppies in your stomach due to the bite, by the time they exhibit symptoms, it's already too late
AC4 first introduced me to Charles Vane, His real story is interesting.
I thought it was from eating mexican food
6:11......Jonah was swallowed by a great fish. It was was never specified that it was a whale.
It would ha e been miserable growing old in this time. Just the pain and infections from dental abcesses would be enough to make you insane
And not merely survive those ordeals, but very often survive them FULLY IN ONE PIECE, too. I'd be long gone by now if not for antibiotics.
Just a swig?! Naw gimme the whole bottle matey!
tbh i wasn't expecting it to be cow vomit and not cow poop that was the issue

The Icelandic believed in evil and nearly demonic whale monsters that frequented the waters nearby. The Trolual, the Raudkembingur, the Physeter, the mushveli, the katvelli, the lyngbakur, nautveli, taumafiskur, and stokkull
Just go on a Carnival cruise, maybe you can experience it too. 😂
It was s#it being a pirate, in fact it wasn't much better in the Navy, at least not in my day.

I love your channels and videos, but please fix the sound of the narration. The semi robotic sound is very strange and honestly awful to listen too (in my opinion) :/
Thought this would have 100k views at minimum. Saw only 5 comments and 77 likes and was shocked!
Is this AI voice? sounds odd.
Damn, I didn't think so, but you may be right.
I don't think so. Just audio issues.
I love you're channel but I think the pirate thing is a dead end at this point
Sharp!
3:34 Break a leg was a term of Good Luck because the term “Break a Leg” meant that your audition or role for a part in a film, screenplay and/ or theatre went well and you would be a member of “The Cast.” Anyway… Most likely didn’t describe the term in the best sense, but, you get my point.
This was awesome, appreciated. I'm currently watching the show black sails and loving it ❤🏴☠️
Great video as always! I've often wondered about pirate superstitions and this definitely addressed a few
