The virgin/chad/rage art style caught me off guard but it works! Effective tool for keeping names/faces in order, and the surface level levity of it throws the tragedy (and at times horror) into sharper relief 👍
I just love the concept of "dont mess with the Spanish but dont let the Spanish mess with you wink wink nudge nudge" pretty sure that concept is the beginning of most pirate adventures
18:07 I mean a spanish governor telling an English Buccaneer "The Manilla galleon is over that way undercrewed and undergunned" sure seems like a trap.
I thought that Captain Kidd was the fattest. Because, well u know.....during his execution, the rope of his noose couldn't take his weight and snapped, making him to fall on the ground like a bag full of potatoes.
History doesn't follow a very romantic plot line, does it? Don't think Disney's gonna be interested in my screen play about a fat merchant/privateer who's a failure and...well...not very brave. Since I'm weird, I actually prefer to hear about the real biographies of real people. Great job, and thanks for doing a relatively long video on a relatively obscure person. We'll share the royalties on that movie...right? Maybe we can convince Johnny to put on a few pounds?
EXACTLY!!!!!! Iwas just thinking I wish there was a cool TV show about this , then realized that would NEVER happen. It's just sucks we got all this awesome video tech now but we just keep making the same boring old stuff
So glad you made this. Big fan of the Pirate History Podcast that does a really good job touching on Charles Swan via the William Dampier story. Cheers!
'tis ironic that the first video of yours youtube recommended to me was the one you didn't expect to get much in the way of views. it seems the algorithm threw the both of us a bone, just this once.
Maybe someone can help me.....Does anyone know where I could find drawings or "blue prints" of some of the old sailing ships? I've seen some drawings but they lacked details and measurements. Thanks everyone.
Charles Swan is one of the many playable characters one can play as in the game Gentlemen of Fortune 2 Historual Eras And yes he has a ship called Cygnet, and is thicc. The fattest character one can play as hah. 😂 Tho to be fair he starts at a higher level compared to others and got a good ship a "Bristol Merchantman"/Guineaman.
You ever hear of the tragedy of Captain Swan the fat? It's not a story the Royal Navy would tell you.
I know this is a tragedy, but the amount of memes makes it look like tragicomedy
"Taken in scene any mans life may seem a tragedy but in his life you will see it is a comedy"
Right?
Biggest collection I've seen yet in a video lol

this is the reason historical figures got portraits made of themselfes.
so they wouldnt get soyjacked in this video.
Don carlos was the man

España: ¿Eres católico español?
Many others: What?
España: ¡Entonces, morirás!
Don Carlos was definitely a chad, and no one can convince me otherwise.
I would definitely like to hear more about him

Hey, I’ve read a lot about him but never heard of that part. Could you please reference me to where you might’ve learned that?
@@GoofyGoober7582 Gold and Gunpowder made a video about him, go and watch it.
