- Since man first set out to sea in ships piracy has been a constant threat to commerce and personal security. As technology evolved, so did the methods and effectiveness of all seafarers, and pirates were no exception. During the period known as the Golden Age of Piracy, many men and even a few women became notorious, even legends in their own lifetime due to their activities. One man became larger than life due to his ruthless application of this trade and was the most wanted man in the New World. Written and Hosted by Colin D. Heaton. Forgotten History is a 10th Legion Pictures Production.

Thatch was a genius at "presence". His appearance inspired equal parts fear and awe. Careful use of that fear made him one of the smartest pirates of his era. His approach was savvy, ruthless and consistent. It is no wonder his exploits are used and romanticized so frequently in stories. The coolest thing is that the reality was almost as outlandish as the legends. Great historical presentation Colin, thank you!
Yo Colin, according to Oral Family History Thatch(later Teach who took a Cree Woman as a wife) who's Descendents married into the Mt. Currie tribe & are known as Leach to where a flash in the pan musician named George made a name for himself.A John(Jack) Sparrow who also started as a Privateer, what is rarely reported in history is these men were Pirating "Legally" for the Crown of England in recognized Colonies as well as their local waters.Sparrow took a wife from Musqueum village at the mouth of the Fraser River,they are my relatives.How is it that they arrived on the North Northwest Coast?!! There was a Suez Canal long before Colonization.The Chinese & Vikings also visited upon us long before Vancouver & Naverez.

Love him he’s hilarious
History forgotten continues to echo itself.
@@jeltoninc.8542the history that is forgotten continues to echo itself sufficiencys eye . .
He loved the coast of North Carolina. There always new finds related to him around the outer banks.
Yes, he liked to hide in Pamlico Sound
I love the O.B.X. especially Emerald isle.
The coast of North Carolina loves him too - you always see his flag on people's cars and flying at their beach houses.
I have been listening to forgotten history for almost two years and I was today's years old when I found out me and Colin live in the same small town.
@@1tugand3strokes24 That's awesome 😎
I taught school in Florida and all my kids learned about Gasparilla, Black Caesar, Jean la Fitte and Port Royal, pirates, freebooters, buccaneers, Key West, Spanish-English political antics.. great stories
You should do a show on Bartholomew Roberts aka Black Bart who was one of the longest reigning pirates of the Golden Age and seized over 100 ships. He was also a very interesting character as on the one hand he was a incredibly cruel towards those who wronged him but also forced his crew to attend mass every Sunday. For anyone interested in reading more about him, check out The Pirate Word: A History of the Most Notorious Sea-Robbers by Angus Konstam.
We will see how Black beard does, but Roberts is already on the radar. Thanks for watching
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNELI’d like to hear about Black Bart or any other famous pirates of history
Mass?
@@MarkEvans-wx3sg as in going to church.
Blackbeard built a castle on St Thomas USVI. Its on a hill overlooking the harbour.
This age of Piracy is a fascinating one, as is the late baroque era, which few discuss at any length, the period from 1690-1730, are often glanced over by history, which is a shame, as it is a fascinating period of politics and culture.
Ocracoke Island is one of my most favorite places. I absolutely love it there.
Ours too!
I loved it in 1965 when no one had discovered it.
@@manleynelson9419 my husband's parents built a cabin on Ocracoke in the 70s. It's still there and they kept the name Robertson Cottage. My hubby claims responsibility for the baseball diamond.
One of the greatest experiences of my life was crawling over the sand dunes and seeing an empty beach and the Atlantic.
I live the O.B.X. Especially Emerald Isle.
My wife grew up near Elizabeth City, NC on the Albemarle sound. There are many Blackbeard tales that have been handed down over the generations
Well done ! I for years (1989-1998) did costal maritime reenactment aka Piracy . And on several accounts was asked to portray Teach ( I was not in any way tall enough 🤨) ! Based in south east Florida, this was the best reanactment for 16-18th century we could do for the local history ! I do miss those days !
I’ve always been under the impression he spent 10-15 years terrorizing the Caribbean. Wow! Only two years mostly along the coast of the early colonies. This should be more well known American history.
Sea level, we get there together or not at all. . .
He is well known in NC like Robin Hood
American history, he was English.
I got to live like a pirate for four summers. I was a treasure diver in Sebastian Florida. In 2015, our boat found 305 Spanish gold coins from the 1715 fleet. On the 300th anniversary of the sinking of the ship no less. I would love to see an episode on the pirate Henry Jennings. He was pillaging shipwrecks on the Florida coast and Bahamas in the 1700s.
What the fuck ? I lived in Sebastian for like 5 years and never knew that history. Granted, i was a kid.
fantastic story - I've never heard such a comprehensive account
well done
Glad you enjoyed it!
sure, even though I have read and heard many accounts of Blackbeard, I learned so much more from yours. thank you for being my favorite channel!
Great to hear!
The most amazing thing to me is I was just thinking about this..... yesterday
Me too lol because I went to pirates cove miniature golf which is themed around Blackbeard.
Synchronicity
Dayumn! I think you hit the grand slam with this one my man! Definitely knocked another one out the park. Thanks for another rousing recount of another tale in forgotten history good sir.
Glad you enjoyed it!
My dad use to take me to Beaufort. Some alumni thing at Duke Marine lab. He would absolutely enjoy your channel. This video cleared up so much I heard about Blackbeard and his haunts in N.C.
No way!! I didn’t know you lived in Beaufort!!! That’s wild! I used to live there, off Live Oak Street and Ocean Street. I LOVED that little town! Holds a special place in my heart even from childhood as my grandparents lived next door in Morehead City. Indeed, my grandmother still resides there. We used to walk the “boardwalk” and get ice cream from the General Store as children. Now that I am older, the saganaki from Beaufort Grocery has become my favorite staple of the town and I absolutely have to get it every time I visit the area. Love me some “Beau Gro”!
Definitely my favorite episode! Thx
Knowing my ancestors (by name at that time) makes it even more wild. Thanks
Thanks for watching
Pleased to meet you cousin.
If you are related to him through all your fathers, you have the same Y chromosome as he did
Fathers father, his dad’s dad etc etc.
Same Y as our dad(if not identical nearly identical) but only passes from father to son.
I live about 8 miles from Bath and it is worth a visit. The visitor center has info on Black Beard and tours of historic homes and the first church.
Fascinating video, Prof Heaton! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Glad to know your in NC! Beaufort is nice place but a lot more overcrowded now than it was 30-40 years ago.
Especially during tourist season
Bonnet had been shot three or four times in the scuffle that damaged the revenge. Blackbeard’s control of the ship was less of a “please control us” and more of a “you can use my ship while I recover” which is why bonnet was always in gown. He was hurt badly.
Apparently his crew still thought they needed better leadership
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL
“It’s in the charter we all signed or made our marks to, G.d. and blast yer eyes fer a doe faced, sloe eyed, pxd whrsn!”
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNELfrom what I gathered from different novels and accounts Bonnet had mental issues and depression that made him desire a pirates life though he was just unable to become a fear mongering monster like Blackbeard
Another excellent installation of forgotten history.....thanks for the great content!
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank You Colin.
Best Wishes to You and Your Family.
Thanks.
Now every time I roll around Beaufort, I will keep my eye out for one of my favorite historians! Another great video, sir.
Awesome! Thank you!
Excellent presentation, thank you.
I’m waiting for a historically accurate pirate movie to come out one day.
Until then, this is the next best thing
I am currently working as a producer/consultant with a well known director, actor and producer on a script for one coming in the future.
Poetic license usually ruins based on a true story.
Colin puts out the content I'm most interested in.
Miss the fly collars. Cheers to you Mr. Heaton.
The swamp fox and my 5x grandpa William Ranger Davidson are deserving . Just throwing it out there for content fodder.
Some of the Davidson family moved west on the Oregon Trail in the late 1850's and were founders of the little town of Woodland, Washington. Just north of Fort Vancouver. John McLaughlin, the "Founder Of Oregon" sold my grandfather x3 a box of apples to cure the scurvy his family had acquired coming over.
Mr. McLaughlin is directly responsible for my being alive today.
He is also worthy of an episode. His history is almost completely forgotten.
Thanks for keeping history alive guys.
I'm old. I don't know how to make videos. I'm impressed with what you fellas are doing over there.
Thanks for the suggestion
Thanks for watching
This was definitely another informative video.
Fantastic video on Blackbeard. I enjoy hearing about famous pirates.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love the new intro.
It is clear that you put a lot of work into everything that you do.
I appreciate that!
Well worth the watch. Gracias - again.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video on Black Beard
Well done, thank you.
Our pleasure!
Israel Hands was the name of one of the pirates in Robert Louis Stephenson's novel, Treasure Island.
Stevenson wove both act and fiction into his story.
This was awesome - thank you and Semper Fi Marine!
As a LONDONER 🇬🇧💯 I think you hit it plainly on the head, with IT WAS THE END OF A TRUE DEMOCRACY ⚖️🙏🥇
Thank you...
It was said before he left for sea, in towns you may find lighting, but the many unlite roads. This is where he would lite his fuses in his hair and whith them mad eyes in the middle of nowhere. You would give him all you had💪💯🇬🇧🥇
Great Video Colin! I love hearing these types of stories and imagining what exactly may have happened. The mind is the best movie theater. This is why books are so amazing.
Couldn't agree more!
I love these stories and history ❤ thank you
Great video. It would be interesting to breakdown how pirates like Blackbeard inspired the writers of tales of pirates. Particularly 20th century books and movies.
First off Semper Fi than you for your service. Great review thanks for sharing
Semper Fi!
17:31 correction, he stayed at Ocracoke inlet because, in the 1700's, Ocracoke inlet was the only inlet between Beaufort inlet and the Chesapeake Bay. The other two inlets on the Outer Banks (Oregon and Hatteras) did not exist until they were created by a hurricane in the 1850's.
Also, Governor Eden granted Thatch the Kings pardon, and Thatch began running the break-bulk cargo port at Ocracoke. At the time, Ocracoke inlet was handling more cargo than Norfolk Virginia, due to lower taxes in North Carolina. The murder of Blackbeard, after he had been pardoned and was engaged in legitimate business, was an act of industrial espionage.
I just vacationed in the Beaufort/Morehead City/ Atlantic Beach area. There is a lot of history in that area.
I've been to that museum on a school trip when I was a kid, this is long before they discovered Teach's ship.
During Trump's administration he designated Wilmington, NC as a historic WWII town with the USS North Carolina being stationed there and an old Dupont plant that manufactured Marine Aviation fuel that was actually fired upon by U-Boats. Can you please do an episode on Wilmington, NC pertaining to its role during WWII?
Possibly, Wilmington was where I lived for several years. It was also a Liberty ship building location and had a large POW camp for Italian POWs.
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL this is something I didn't know about Wilmington and I lived there for 4 years while going to college at UNCW
great work thank you!
When I first saw this video it was behind a paywall. Thank you for making it available to everyone.
Our pleasure!
Love your new look. Go easy on the eyes with those transitions, though. A little too strobey. But as always, a great deep dive. I also like the semi-tutorial format. Builds and then satisfies curiosity. Nice touch, Devil Dog.
Thanks for the tips!
I have always enjoyed the museum.
While Blackbeard was an evil dude, you have to admit his antics were genius marketing.
Not as formidable as Corn Pop, though.
😂😂😂@@SpaceCowboy-u7j
Sea salvagers?
We vacation on Emerald Isle almost every year (timeshare) and my favorite place is Beaufort.
Up for it, let's check it out.
Thanks for great history truth.
Thank you for this!!
You're so welcome!
There must’ve been something special about it for so many of them to refuse to give it up, even at the cost of their life.
Similar to modern gangs
Perfect timing, I just finished Black Sails!
Thank you again.
Our pleasure!
Thank you for teaching me the truth about Blackbeard.
Outstanding as usual.
Thanks colin
*thanks for the video bro*
It's my pleasure
Great video! Are you going to do an episode based on General Oliver prince Smith and the battle of the Chosin reservoir? He saved 15,000 Marines.
Colin and the people he's with always make great videos on history. I think they try to outdo themselves with each new one.
Possibly, we already have one on Chosin
Thank you once again for telling us another interesting tale from history . I did like the comment about being the first democracy , very interesting and who would have thought it .
A very groovy documentary.
Thanks for watching
Thank you! Sir!
You are welcome!
@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL Quality content. I like to think that if I study enough history, I might be able to divine the future a little. Again, thank you very much.
Pirates were always happy to welcome newcomers on board since their numbers were continually being depleted by scurvy and various tropical diseases, not necessarily because of their benevolence..
I don't remember if this was mentioned, but it is believed that Black Beard knew those two ships would run a ground, he was trying to "downsize" his operation, because it was becoming harder to pay his men.
If I remember correctly.
Possibly, but careening to scrape off barnacles to increase speed makes more sense.
You live in Beaufort? Nice. ❤ that town. We were stationed at Cherry Point when the QAR was found.
Nearby in Gloucester
My son and I went rock hounding this last weekend. I couldn't help but look at the road cuts. I wondered if I would recognize anything you've talked about. I was hoping for something with a dike but didn't see one. I think I saw something like a strike though.
Thank you.
You're welcome!
I'm not sure why but several times instead of calling them pirates you call them pilots. This occurs multiple times.
Just an error. In fact, an original "pilot" was a helmsman, steering the ship, who was also the navigator. Most of the pirate captains started out that way.
Like to see one on Captain Morgan.
I'm seeing him this afternoon...
Thanks!
Thanks for your multiple contributions. We really appreciate it
The first great American. The Queen Anne's Revenge wreck is five miles from my front yard, blows my mind it wasn't discovered till 1996. It's right in a high trafficked area where not a lot of fishing takes place with boaters just trying get out of Beaufort inlet but even in 96, there were fish finders galore going over the wreck. That thing must have buried pretty good from almost 300 years of hurricanes. It's really not even what you could call out to sea. It's barely a par 5 from the Fort Macon rock jetty.
I am in Gloucester, I agree
Just to imagine all on its own that someone had the thinking & perspective to incorporate smoking rope ends intertwined with their beard, as an obvious means for psychological purposes (assuming that it was an original idea) says a great deal about his profile & perhaps even an inherent partiality & personality traits akin to roles of leadership, in my humble opinion.
Now the Pirates thrive on attacking commuters on highways nationwide.
Here in Alaska we call them the Anchorage Police Department.
Argggh me Matey's!!!
Thanks for watching
i highly recommend to read the treasure island to see how pirates operated. Also Jules Vern have the 15year old captain and the Captains' Grants children that have to do with pirates. Thank you for the video
I prefer Wild West stories, but stories about pirates are also very interesting.
We have more western stories coming
*is that a glass?* 9:13 I always thought it was one of those sanded-filled glass things that measure a specific amount of time
Yes, for toasting a drink to the devil
That’s good!
Hearing all of this I expected he was running amok for 10 years. I can’t believe he did all that in only 2.
Contrary to popular belief, there is *no accurate description of ANY SPECIFIC flag* used by Blackbeard during his piracy! The flag with the horned skeleton and bleeding heart first appeared in 1912 in an article in The Mariner's Mirror magazine, but back then the article made no assertion of it being Blackbeard's flag- around the 1970s it started to be described as 'Blackbeard's flag'.
Q: Why are pirates called 'pirates'?
A: Nobody knows, they just arrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh
LOL
I think that one tall ship in the video is called the Lady Washington
The funny part for me is the Marine who claimed he killed Blackbeard like it was a duel but he was wounded then was struck from behind
Like that is something to boast about "I killed a wounded & outnumbered pirate from behind with the aid of my Marines" 😤: Maynard
Blackbeard paced the creaking deck
"Crow cock crow"
Blackbeard was greatly vexed
From up behind they cut him down
A cutlas chopped his head
His corps was seen then swimming
nine times around the deck
Some men say it was a shark
Those men all are teched
great choice
Although it's Hollywood...:
Was Blackbeard a Voodoo Practitioner as the Pirates of the Caribbean movie makes him out to be?
No record of it.
The knights templars have connection to the privateers. I wish you went more into this
Just about one man
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL there’s a chance he was a knight Templar which would explain his background better
Is there a segment on Nelson Mandela ?
Not yet
lol - he was from Bath, North Carolina.
I could have sworn you uploaded this months ago...
No , you entered a time hack I did a few months ago, I always use this dudes videos as a base point. Sorry about that , wasn’t intentional. . I gotta stop living in the past
Nope, but Mike did one on the famous female Chinese pirate
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL Then I guess it's deja vu! Thanks for the video!
He spent a lot of time in Marcus Hook Pa. at the Plank House the home of his mistress
Well he went down in history. Can anyone nowadays hope for the same thing?
Probably he walked into a room and somebody asked his friend what his name is and his friend had no idea but looked at him and said "black beard" Hence; his name. I see nothing wrong with Mr. Black Beard.
Blackbeard was rugged but would be no match for McHales Navy and Ensign Parker and Captain Binghamton 😅
Gilligan may have given him a run
There's a little Black Beard in all of us
I hope so!!
OMG! It's Tommy Chong on the title intro!
Killed his own shipmate over a devil fruit
Thanks for watching
