    Fun fact: the somali pirates have a semi functional stock market, where you can sponsor crews or even individual missions, and get a share of the profit from it. There is a story circulating on an elderly woman become unreasonably rich after she sponsored a crew with enough funds to buy a single RPG which they've used to intimidate a large cargo ship into surrender.

    Probably my personal favorite Somali pirate story is the time that Somali pirates boarded and captured a North Korean cargo ship, the Dai Hong Dan. While the crew was captured, they managed to get a distress signal out while biding their time. Their distress signal was picked up by a US Navy destroyer, the USS James E. Williams, which dispatched teams to secure the vessel. At the same time, the North Korean crew attacked their captors, seizing weapons and securing the ship with the assistance of the US Navy sailors, capturing or killing all of the pirates. The most ridiculous part is that afterwards North Korean state media released a statement of gratitude for the American assistance, emphasizing the successful cooperation between the two nations.

    18:56 good story for part 2 here! - The Danish warship you see there, Esben Snarre, was AGAIN attacked exactly 10 years later in 2021 on the other side of Africa. A band of Nigerian pirates attacked the warship in the Gulf of Guinea, unbeknown that the ship was filled with special forces soldiers at the time.
    Every single one of the pirates were shot dead, except for a single one, whos (and I kid you not) literal name was Lucky..
    He did manage to lose a leg, though. Very appropriate for a pirate, peg-leg and whatnot. Lol.
    And then if that wasn't enough, when the news broke out in the media, it featured a danish "pirate expert" who (and again, I kid you not) wore an eye-patch during every single interview due to complications from a loser operation.

      (if you somehow didn't notice the grey paint-scheme, the four 50 cal. machineguns

      Actually Ubisoft put in a lot of effort digging up more obscure pirates for their game! The idea is Stede Bonnet isn't a household name like Blackbeard or Jack Rackham, it wasn't until recently that he became less obscure with a tv show. But still not very well known, I wanted to use this title to make a play on the popular Pirates of the Caribbean quote, "You are, without doubt, the worst pirate I've ever heard of"

      @@LadyTylerBioRodriguez This is why you aren't consulted about which pirates are most notorious. Henry Every, La Buse, and Richard Taylor are all extremely obscure to anyone who doesn't actually read about pirates. The average person hasn't heard of any of those people.

      @@Tinil0 I'm going off infamous for the 1730s. Nowadays yes I'd argue my names are obscure since there isn't many appearances of them in popular culture (Everys biggest mention of late is Uncharted 4 and there's a cryptogram myth attached to La Buse). Who gets remembered well and who doesn't is somewhat arbitrary. I mean take John Rackam, two months of piracy and dead, he was the definition of a nobody in 1720, but in 2024 he's one of the best known pirates.
      Henry Every pulled off a heist that causes an international incident between India and Britain, inspired pirates like Kidd and Charles Vane, and was the model for the legend of Libertalia. He was also never caught.
      Taylor and La Buse did a similar heist concerning a Portuguese diamond ship, Taylor managed to successfully retire, La Buse did not. Indian Ocean piracy was among the most successful but unfortunately they aren't well known 3 centuries later.
      I'm a pirate historian for the record.

    I've played enough video games to understand the Somali pirates' ambition in taking on war vessels. You're always looking for the next big challenge! I figure their autosave feature just broke and they can't go back to an earlier save, and they didn't figure that out until after the arrest. That or they only have one save slot and "Bing!" the game autosaved when the fight started. We all know how that goes.

    • @girl1213
      @girl1213 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I wish it was like that. It would make them less likely to be smashed on the Internet for how stupid they are to keep making the same mistake over and over again. At least on video games, you can use autosave and hit a reset button to try and try again until you figure out how to success take the ship.
      But sadly for these pirates they haven't even figured out there actually is a save system.

    Even if one's "occupation" as a pirate is successful, pirate life still kinda sucked. Having to be out in something as dangerous as the open ocean on unsanitary, cramped wooden boats that the waves could, at any time, completely total (fairly easily, I might add) to risk life and limb for wealth that, even if you initially acquire successfully, will thereafter paint about a dozen different targets on your back, while subsisting on nothing but weevil bread and meat that's both harder to ingest and less edible than tree bark is downright hellish.
