yarr matey welcome to no conduit the
dread pirate Steve being no man’s debt
I’ll make a barter wiki truths in our
star welcome to watchmojo.com it’s that
people actually believe and dispels them
one by one for this installment we’ll be
tackling five myths about pirates that
had is walking the plank of Lies I mean
you hear a pirate ship you think sails
cannonballs oh not one of these guys as
a beard are you done hang on planks now
I’m done for the record we won’t be
discussing modern-day pirates such as
those found off the coast of Somalia and
no pirates were
still a real thing Oh your cousin Ralph
who’s been downloading the latest HBO
drama oh and before we go any further
that pirate voice we started with
earlier yes that’s a myth perpetuated by
that scoundrel Robert Louis Stevenson in
his classic Treasure Island
so stop celebrating national talk Like a
Pirate Day
no fun allowed gar Rainey where you had
it Peter
pirate myth number five pirates were
outlaws I also can’t varied gifts for
your man these gifts Majesty are the
fruits of piracy when you hear the word
pirate you’re probably thinking of an
old salty scallywag on the run from
justice and enjoying a lawless life on
the high seas and you’re wrong how nice
to see a fellow pirate like good of
himself pirate nay privateer a career in
piracy was actually a semi-legitimate
one at least if you take into account
that some pirate started out their lives
as privateers men legally employed by
their governments to attack and Rob
enemy ships which is somewhat more
admirable Philip of Spain is no friend
of England majesty the more gold I take
from him the safer you will be well a
political pirate some of those
government bodies such as the British
Navy would often forcibly recruit just
about any able-bodied man for their
ships which meant that many crews
consisted of bloodthirsty thugs who were
shackled to their ships at all times so
with life as a sailor being such a rough
one many would understandably be
delighted when given the prospect of
literally jumping ship to a pirate
vessel
ten
myth number four there were no female
pirates that left a woman on board –
there’s a number of infamous pirate
captains who have seen their names
immortalized in the history books from
Blackbeard to Henry Morgan these blokes
legacies are known by all as such one
pervasive myth is that all these feared
Pirates were men this is actually not
the case at all as there are plenty of
recorded female pirates some of which
even disguised as men exceptions to this
pirate boys club included Anne Bonny and
Mary mark Reid two notable women who
were actually caught and tried for
piracy the lady who had perhaps the most
impressive pirates in Korea was China’s
King she also known as Madame Shing an
immensely powerful and successful pirate
queen who was actually able to avoid the
hangman’s noose and retire with her life
and loot intact shipwreck Hall is a
fortress a well supplied fortress there
is no need to fire dude they cannot get
what myth number three pirates wear eye
patches because they’re missing an eye
Lily how long have you been sitting
there stupid eye patch
bloody Hollywood movies with their false
depictions of pirate culture always
leading you to believe that under that
patch is a nasty battle wound
jerk attacks what a shark ate your eyes
yeah it happened when I went down off
the coast of Australia no unlike metal
gears big boss these grizzled war vets
didn’t have their eyes blown out in a
scuffle the truth behind the eyepatch is
actually based more on practicality the
main purpose of wearing one is to make
it easier for invading pirates eyes to
adjust a low light and darkness when
raiding enemy ships specifically the
crew would wear their patches while
moving about on the deck and then switch
the patch to their other eye when night
fell and the time came to board an enemy
ship under the cover of darkness
indeed the Pirates could remove their
eye patches at any time unless of course
they really were missing an eye we don’t
like to generalize on the show but if
you want to stay ahead of me mr.
secretary
you need to keep both eyes open myth
number two all pirates flew the skull
and crossbones flag these days many of
us tend to associate the Jolly Roger is
a flag representing anything and
everything pirate but in reality pirate
ships flew many different flags which
could stand for anything from their
current status or their captain’s coat
of arms they were actually a creative
old bunch for example a pirate ship
could fly a solid black sail
representing the recent death of a crew
member which also meant that they were
willing to negotiate with a fellow
vessel in their sorry state you’ve seen
a ship with black sails
that’s crewed by the Damned and
captained by a man so evil that Hell
itself spat him back out no no but I
have seen a ship with black sails a flag
that was completely red however was
usually flown for intimidation meaning
the opponents were in for a really bad
time should they be boarded by a
bloodthirsty band of pirates
myth number one Pirates made maps
leading to their buried treasure
there are countless films and novels
detailing the search for buried pirate
treasure but the reality of the
situation was that most pirates spend
their fortunes as quickly as they owned
them for theirs was a dangerous
occupation
these were Raiders who lived at sea and
any gold or silver which was acquired
during their raid was usually spent
almost immediately on women or alcohol
at the notorious Jamaican Harbor village
of Port Royal which by the way was the
chillest pirate hub during the Golden
Age welcome to Port Royal mr. Smith the
truth behind burying pirate treasure is
it was usually only done if there was
too much to carry they were being
followed by enemies or otherwise had to
dump it quick before coming back to
reclaim it shortly thereafter privateers
and pirates such as Sir Francis Drake
and William Kidd were known to have gone
this route but honestly pirates
certainly weren’t about to mark down the
location of any treasure for others to
find so you might want to give up on all
those adventurous dreams
finish counting all your gold doubloons
couldn’t resist mate this is what Google
searches are asking about pirates
why do pirates have hooks were there
pirates in the Caribbean did Pirates
ever smoke weed for more swashbuckling
top tens and treasure hunting top fives
