Edward Teach, Blackbeard's last infamous words. "We would have been great men, had it not been for gold." You think he learned of some power, yes he did.

Except they weren't as huge on gold as they were on weapon, food and water etc. That's what they usually plundered, the "gold" here was trade goods, sugar, leather and shit like that. Which was basically overflowing with on trade ships around and in the west indies by the time.

Charles Vane is only a "household name" because of Black Sails. He was good pirate, but not much mention of him in history, even though his jolly roger is the classic "skull facing forward with crossed bones". The famous "skull facing forward with crossed swords" is Calico Jack's, and that is the story I'm most looking forward to, mostly because of my favorite pirate, Anne Bonny.

My understanding of Vane was he was a very brutal man, often enjoying torturing the sailors and merchants of captured ship more than indulging in captured goods. I could be wrong though.

@@Katpiratefan275 most of them did not care as much about valuable goods. Like we think. At least for Flying Gang pirates. Vane is a victim of modern day morals being used for historical figures. When you understand how he grew up, and how he was used by superiors who wished to utilize his upbringing for their benefit. Which is where the label of bloodthirsty torturer comes from.

Really we dont know exactly where or when the famous skull and cross bones came from. There are reports of it being used hundreds of years before Golden Age pirates. But it is interesting how Flying Gang pirates in unison used it as a symbol. Considering how other pirates like Henry Avery used the "Bloody flag" or red flag. It was almost like there movements symbol. Including Blackbeard, who's historical flag is nkthing like we think of it (which is actually a design based off of Ed Low's reported flag) but was very similar to the Vane flag you mention. Which is so freaking cool lol (freaking love pirate history)

Pirates weren't necessarily cruel at all. Most of what is told about them is not true, rumours made up and spread by the pirates themselves. Compare them to the British, French, Portuguese, Spanish and Dutch empires, that very literally committed genocide on massive scales.... Wiping out entire cultures and populations.

So much misinformation about Teach/Thatch/Thatche. His death was an illegal assassination and occurred after he had retired from high seas pirating. His “terror and tyranny” was a myth. He was well liked by people in his community and, in retirement, opened up trade and goods swapping with his neighbors. Of course, he never really “retired,” but was not a high seas pirate at the time of his assassination and has also taken the pardon. There is no evidence or account of Blackbeard killing anyone but there are accounts of him being a “gentleman pirate.” Blackbeard was a creation of the British before the pardons flowed. Similarly, there is no evidence or accurate account of Hornigold “mentoring” or leading Blackbeard. In fact, it could’ve been the other way around. Any information regarding BB from British sources at the time is mostly propaganda mixed with some fact, mostly about technical details. There was no interest in accurately reporting who the pirates were, especially considering that many were Jacobites (like Blackbeard.)
