Any pirate enthusiast is familiar with William Kidd - though some would argue he wasn't a pirate. Entire books have been written trying to vindicate his reputation. He is most famous for the ill-fated privateering voyage, in which he captured only three prizes - one being a fishing boat - allegedly buried his treasure, and ending in his hanging. But, did he deserve it?

Your channel is the greatest treasure a man can find, i recently found your channel and i really enjoy your videos!
You have clearly never found real treasure. Other than that I agree it's a great channel ;)
@@jerbear7952 yeah I haven't dug any chests full of gold and dabloons out of the groind as of yet, so this channel will suffice :)
Very nice overview. Sadly even a full 30+ video is not enough to include all of the juicy details of Kidd but honestly I think this is the best way to make a video of him. The scenario is so complex already so not all nitty gritty fits in. Cheers!🏴☠️
Fish.
O, my name was Captain Kidd. As I sailed, as I sailed
O, my name was Captain Kidd, as I sailed
My name was Captain Kidd and God’s laws I did forbid
And so wickedly I did, as I sailed as I sailed
so wickedly I did, as I sailed
I murdered William Moore as I sailed as I sailed
his story would make for a truly fantastic series, you got all the pieces you'd need for one it almost feels like a writer penned it
After listening to the pirate history podcast, I thought "The Trial of William Kidd" could actually make a pretty good movie. There is a lot of doccumentation to work with to keep it historical.
One piece
Oh, if you’re ever in London (near the Tower of London) the Captain Kidd pub is nearby, and a bit further is the Prospect Of Whitby pub, where the body of Captain Kidd was hung over the Thames (something to do with the Thames tide washing over the body of the executed pirate a few times before the body was taken down) the pub has a walkway to the side leading to the Thames beach, and behind the pub is a gibbet and noose.
Another great video. Thank you for such quality content, your love for the subject is matched only by your research of the same.
Fantastic content and great information
…..He was reported walking around New York but they arrived two months after he was sighted.
‘Missed him by ye olde much.”
Everyone one piece
Meanwhile me: Ah so this Ryuji’s persona
THE ONE PIECE IS REAL!!!!
I've been following your channel for a while, and i must say that the quality has significantly increased. Absolutely stellar video, and the song at the end was the cherry on the top. Kudos to you my friend
Have you ever looked much into Scandinavian piracy/famous Scandinavian pirates after the Viking age? I know for a brief period of time Sweden and Denmark had small colonial holdings in north America and the Caribbean, and seafaring has been such a foundational aspect of their society for so long.
Sweden wanted to conduct privateering out of its colony on the Delaware but it didn't work out except one mysterious raid. Denmark owned the island of St. Thomas which operated as a freeport for pirates in the late 17th century, much to the ire of the other nations. Sweden also maintained a lucrative privateering operation during the Great Northern War, in which many British Jacobites were employed
Enjoyed the video mate! So interesting how this individual became so famous...maybe the most famous pirate of all.
Despite being the worst

Always a great day when G&G drops some knowledge
Just discovered that I’m descended from Captain William Kidd. Pretty cool to be descended from a famous privateer turned pirate.
Could you show me some proof please?
@@LeaderSpectecon I’m descended from his daughter Ann Elizabeth Kidd
i found oh i am too!!
As am I my friend!
My introduction to this guy was Captain Kidd from World Heroes. But its awesome to finally learn the true story about this guy. In fact, its quite fascinating.
Can you also make videos about the lives of Calico Jack Rackham, Anne Bonny, Samuel Black Sam Bellamy, Edward England, and the whydah Galley please?
CAPTAIN KIDD I THINK I HEAR OF THAT NAME BEFORE
THE ONE PIECE IT’S REALLLLLL!!!!
I’m a direct descendant of Cap’n Kidd! Hey may have been a “pirate” but he had honor in his heart
THE ONE PIECE IS REAAAAAAAAAAL
Greetings, I am attempting to write a book with pirates on it. I want it to be more historical rather than Hollywood. Your videos are very helpful. Have you any information about the pirate John Philip Beare. I am trying to get caractor right and there is not much info on him. Thank you for your hard work.
I don‘t think it‘s a coincidence that Kidd was maybe the most well-financed pirate in history. People investing money in your business is as much of a curse as it is a blessing, because those people want their money back with interest. And that means the more they invest, the more you are actually in the red. Dangerous, especially if your venture is high-risk.
This is so far from the legend I heard of him being a good and honest man forced into piracy by his crew very interesting and educational
The anticipation is unreal! 🏴☠️
The one piece is real!
Well at least he is the mascot for the USS Kidd and they get to fly the Jolly Roger
He is definitely the most interesting pirate out of all of them.
Uhm no
He was from Dundee? Interesting.
Hello! This channel is incridible, and it became one of my favorite things. Its rare to see such quality, i think!
So sir, please, and i know this is a difficult question, but would you jave the name of this panting at 4:08 , or at least the painter? I am in love with it. Someone in the comments woukd know, maybe? And thanks already!
Fun fact: If you watch Fox's Peter Pan and the Pirates, their version of Hook seems to be modelled after Kidd
WAS THAT A ONE PIECE REFERENCE!?!?!?!?!

Thank you for this documentary quality video!
thank you Alice
🏴🏴☠️
Thank you! A friend of mine was just talking about Captain Kidd the other day. How coincidental you made a video about him a couple days later. 👍
Now to the execution dock, I must go
17:44 that caught me off guard🤣
I have a slight alternate history question Henry Morgan before his flagship the Oxford below up was planning on attacking Cartagena De Indes, if the spark never occured that blew up the powder magazine and they attacked the city do you think he would have been successful. As it was quite a formidable city and although the raid in 1697 was successful that still required a french naval contigent and almost 2,000 soldiers and buccaneers.
no because the Oxford was blown up by time travellers
@@GoldandGunpowder those time travelers might be the descendants of those who had sued him in court, and they're still salty to this day.
poor lad
Question : did pirates use rapiers?
no they were regarded as useless at sea
Long blade plus low hanging rigging (even more if the ship has taken damage) is ussually a bad idea! Cutlasses, small swords (if they could get their hands on one), daggers, falchions, and dusacks where much more prefered due to being shorter.
20:11 lmao
17:43 this information shocked me and made me say "this truly is, the great pirate era..."
Finally
Mary Reads dad
yo hes my gramps.
"I already have a video about what food they ate" uhhhh, no. You have like 10 videos about their food. And thats okay with me :D
Life in 2023 in the West is very.. Judoist like.
-Me and Cpt Kidd.
Gem video tho
Captain Kidd was a man of action and a hero. He could have lived a charmed life in high society without a care in the world, but chose adventure instead.
Lol the one piece is real.
:)
Was that really necessary to say “shitting streets of India “? Completely took me out of the video.
“Fish and chip shops of Badteethia”
It’s a joke, get over it
