So Charles Vane was a bayman before in Black Sails? Rather interesting that was true, I never imagined people would actually consider living on the island where they chopped the wood as well.

Working on a long poem about the Baymen - I think it's a fascinating part of history and this has been a great source. As an Irishman also named Daniel, it's amazing to hear of his escape. Cheers for this one, mate.

Jolly fellows but not so jolly nature, interesting to know about people who in a way were similar to the bucanners but we're entirely different

Its great to learn about the history of the Caribbean from your videos- its very similar to the historical progression of the American frontier, except better, because it has buccaneers. Keep up the great work! These videos keep getting better! PS- angry old neoliberal says eat the bugs and live in the pod, peasants, I say it'll be a pirates life for me, rich bois.

1:08 have you eaten cactus? It’s delicious and it’s a common food in Mexican households, along with beans and rice!

Ahoy! Enjoyed learning about the Baymen. In my waters there are ruins of historic Indigo plantations with the equipment used to process Indigo still intact. There are even modern Indigo farms too! When I think of the Yucatan Peninsula today I think of eco tourism and Mayan ruins! Lol! Must have been brutal existence back in the 1700 & 1800's for log cutters!

maybe the alcohol and tobacco helped with the parasites...rough existence

Thanks for the mention!.

The you will eat the bugs bit was quality 😂

I just discovered this channel due to my rising interest in the game Naval Action and holy moly man, your humor and the way you give information is exactly like mine when it comes to War Thunder and me and my buddies. Fucking amazing channel man.

14:24 with barbacoa, salt, lime, salsa, chopped tomatoes and onion, and aguacate, it’ll make for an awesome taco!

Not gonna lie. I thought this was a music video when I clicked on it. 100% not disappointed

This channel is a golden find. Thanks.

Enjoying your content keep up the good work!👍🏼

Another great video

Great video about too little known pirates/woodsmen. Much new info.

Helping out the algorithm as asked , excellent content enjoyed it very much

Cheers again mate

This channel is fun and educational as well as entertaining. I love it! Thank you for the high quality work.

Thanks!

Thank you for creating dude! PIRATES!!! It's been a weird few years.. i'm sure everyone is stressed in different ways I can't even begin to fathom. Funny history videos make the world a better place God bless you brah! You use your talents well :D

This is the first time hearing about bayman pirate's

This is some good stuff.

Really interesting video, thank you! (having a huge catchup with all of your content!) I love learning about all these offshoots of sea rovers and how they all interact. Would you say that these Baymen were the longest lasting loose sub 'group' of rovers during the Golden Ages? They seem to 'make it' through those ages, despite being chase off by the Spanish a number of times, right up to being part of a British Crown Colony in the 19th century.

omg i love this channel

Belize, not far south from the Yucatan was also a place with a lot of bay men. The Bay men were celebrated on St. George's Key Day, the Belizean equivalent of the 4th of July. *I don't know if this is still done.) They way they talked about them, you would think that they were the eqiveiant of George Washinton's armies. The reason was that they took the side of the British during a way between Britain and Spain. The British won, and that is why Belize (Formerly British Honduras) became a British colony, and much later, an independent nation. Spain still believed that it was part of their empire, and when Gutamala became an independent nation, they took up the claim, creating a long sort of cold war, during which Guatemalan radio repeatedly said "Beliece es Gutamala," and British troops had to remain stationed there to keep them out. Evan still, I have watched videos about Belize and I still saw a comment that said "Belize is a province of Guatemala." The Baymen were, I'm sure, in many ways not good people. But they were the ones who enabled Belize to become a Democratically run British colony, and then an independent nation that was a Democracy, instead of remaining ruled by Spain, and then by Guatemala, which became a brutal Fascist, racist, mass murdering (of Mayans)perhaps even genocidal nation. As they say, even an ill wind always blows somebody some good.

Very cool

11:04 alligators don't live in the Yucatan, only crocodiles inhabit Yucatan or the Caribbean for that matter. Alligators are restricted to the United States section of North America. Alligators also weren't so friendly a number of people die every year in attacks.

Thanks

good content, new subscriber! 🥳🥳

Back for another Gold and Gunpowder blast !

I’ve been to the yucatan, it’s very beautiful but yeah living in the areas the Baymen did would have been hell, and the mosquitoes are evil there

Nice video. I never heard of the Baymen.

Nice

Based Baymen.

Hot Tamolies, the candy, also use the red bug die as coloring

Alligators are extremely docile unless there's something wrong with it. You've got little to fear unless its extremely hungry or too sick to hunt something bigger and dumber than you.

California maritime… all ya got. Capes to cascades and up the Colorado.

could you talk about how the early spainish settlers survived or talk about german immigrants

You make being a logwood cutter sound pretty bad... but then I look at my life and career choices in this life and think "yeah... that is likely where I would end up." Don't get me wrong, I would likely bitch about the crappy things, but hard self motivated work where you don't have a boss looking after you. Weird creatures trying to kill you in lands you don't fully understand, and having to be proficient with a gun, that actually describes more of my life than I want to admit to myself.

Eet zee bugs! Lel gud stufffren

Next video pirates🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

its ok if you dont want to but it'd be interesting if you covered the "pirate" john paul jones but it might be a stretch

Yea sure. Let’s all go live in the tropical swamp and get drunk. What do you think the survival rate of that first weekend is? 60%? Let’s call them the lucky ones, shall we?

I'm a little confused on the timeline...When did the Spanish start harvesting logwood? A few years before the English conquest of Jamaica?

Well, THIS goes on the list of worst jobs ever

Sorry, didn’t understand, how was the life OOD used with a flintlock

I wonder if their hat reflected axe swings.

Our salt water crocs in Australia would eat up the little gators

please do some videos on how pirates financed their first ships. did they ever use loans, shares, or business contracts with investors?

Shiver Me Timbers

0:44 if I saw that guy he wouldn't see me

Crocodiles are typically larger than alligators. The animals you describe were probably Caiman. Not crocodile.

Arrrrrrr

Someone would eat weevils.

sweet just found you channel and in so happy. gold and gunpower with that name you can do the 100 year Indian war in America or gold rush war videos with the mexicans. hmm cool channel. i have one too check it out if you want thanks.

Who cares if about eating bugs? We've always done it. There's an acceptable amount of bug mass in grain, its unavoidable.

Here's my pirate meme : An unborn is praying to God : God , please not Tortuga or Port Royal🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏. And when the baby is finally born : Doctor.........where am I ?🤨🤨🤨 Doctor : Nassau !!!!😃😃😃😃🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻

Cross and gators are 2 different animals

That’s funny… the crocodilians were the most-feared creatures of the Yucatán Peninsula… nevermind about the jaguars, pumas, and likely historical populations of Mexican wolves & bears (extirpated/extinct since). And that’s not even counting the coralsnakes, rattlesnakes and other vipers! And the invertebrates!! And the diseases! It’s just like the Amazon. Lol.

Please cover the subject of pirates in Asia

You will eat the bugs- in elven

No, I will not eat za bugz.🤠

Nope, 80cm foot worms and shit throwing monkeys. Not for me.

Based?

Eat zee bugs!!!
