I know blackbeards name is pronounced as both Teach and “Thatch” and I don’t really care which is the more correct one because saying it as he spelled it, Teach, just sounds SO stupid. It’s always thatch for me

My wife reminds me that the BBC program _Time Team_ featured Dr. Phil Harding. He _always_ talks like a pirate!
As for parrots and pirates . . . when we lived in League City, Texas — a little south of Houston — parrots had gotten loose and established colonies in the high tension wire towers. We knew a woman who periodically transformed into a pirate. And whenever she did, there were parrots around.
Coincidence? _I think NOT!_

I read a book when I was younger that said Pirates were much smarter than people realized. 99% of them were multilingual. If you couldn’t speak English, french, and Spanish, you were kind of screwed. Many knew dutch and Portuguese on top of that.

I wonder how many privateers attacked whoever they felt like and then stuck enemy flags on the ships the brought back to port to sell. Even if somebody at port saw through the lie, they’d have a lot of incentive to stay quiet and get their cut…

So are we just going to gloss over when he said most pirates were teenage boys or in their early 20s….? It explains sooooo much! Even why anyone would join a pirate crew after their ship was captured. Pirates were just hormonal, impulsive children with underdeveloped brains all along 😂

On female pirates 🏴☠️ it’s worth checking the life of pirate Qing, who had a fleet of one thousand vessels so strong that the emperor hired her instead of fighting her
