[Amontanea]

Where does the uncle know the story from

[mladywolf]

seeing the artifacts from this ship wreak was amazing and kinda sad as well. The Arizona Science Museum has them right now... it is a great things to see.

[imscocom29]

[imscocom29]

[MrChrisflair1]

I WILL NEVER FORGET THE DAY I MET BARRY CLIFFORD,THE MAN WHO DISCOVERED THE WHYDAH,THE ONLY AUTHENTICATED PIRATE SHIP IN THE WORLD.WE SHOOK HANDS AND HE WAS SO NICE TO ME,HE TOOK TIME OUT OF HIS DAY TO TALK WITH ME FOR A WHILE.BARRY CLIFFORD AND THE WHYDAH ARE AMAZING.I GOT TO VISIT THE BEACH WHERE IN 1717 THE PIRATES BODIES WASHED ASHORE FROM THE WRECK AND STORM THAT TOOK ALMOST ALL OF THIER LIVES.

[Bhav341]

there are about 5 or 6 stretches of coast that are called "Graveyard of the Atlantic"

[ltuomela]

ole boy has a perma grin..1 a pirate ship for real..2 its payday BOYZZZZZZZZZ...

[Lordgodisgood7]

The eyepatch was to let the eye adjust for night time it's like there type on night vision

[Cooleemee43]

In the movie Yellow Beard the Pirate Captain wore an eye patch but he had only one eye, and after he shouted an order to the crew a deck hand said, "eye eye sir" and the Captain removed his eye patch and said "what do you mean by eye eye". Ok stupid moment but funny.

pirate life 4 i

[jewlzben]

why are piates called pirates?  they just arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

[VendettasD]

I got to see the display they had briefly at the Cinncinati museum when I was home on leave. I loved the showing they had for it. The manner in which they did it was a very engaging way to introduce the findings. Especially the bell which appeared just after the movie cut out. It was silent and dark, then with a gentle cue from the music, the interior lights illuminated within the tank and like some ghost, you could then see the bell, silent and serene holding some secret you wished to know.

[tmccarty98]

I just saw this at the St. Louis Science Center. Soo amazing!

[playerpenguin18]

@tmccarty98 cool

[xAnifumaProductions]

Arrr mates. Hands me back me gold!!!

[zushidesign]

whoooa! AWESOME

[fleebus090]

"we actually have the opportunity to dress up like pirates"

[ACC265]

cool

[wrightylaaad]

why do archaeologists and the like feel that people are somehow obligated to hand over their finds to them when they never looked for it ,knew what was there anyway or even tried to find it themselves. i say finders keepers except in very few exceptions

[thegodofpop1]

i wanna be a pirate!

[1994Fman]

who doesnt lol

[in2ennui]

Who owns this found treasure? What if someone else encroaches on this guy's find?

Is this man an archaeologist funded by some public entity or is he privately engaged in this discovery? Did he have to give up the 'loot' to museums, or did he do that to preserve the history of the treasure and hopefully piece together things about the Whydah?

[DeeHong]

I was questioning the same thing. However, i would make sense that he gave the looted treasure to museums or some historical facilities since National Geographic's documenting this event.

Well depends how far he went to find it, If it's a certain distances away from the shore than he'll be able to claim ownership. Otherwise it's property of the country's.

[TheHABSSUCK1]

he wrote a book called Expedition Whydah. its amazing. easy read and highly recommended.

[TheHABSSUCK1]

it's all his loot. nothing went to museums. except for the ones he built.there was also years of legal disputes and protecting his loot wasn't easy.

he would make speeches about the whydah and then get funded by the people that bought in to his story. jfk jr walter cronkite ect. jfk jr also dove on the wreck and was quite involved in recovering artifacts. the guys name is barry clifford. he wrote an amazing book about it. its called Expedition Whydah. i highly recommend it.

[naughtystepUGC]

Pirates were usually opportunists that had fallen foul of the law or of their families, or younger sons who had something to prove.

I believe my ancestors were originally pirates from Wales starting out as hill farmers raising sheep. They were tough, I mean REALLY tough, psychotically brave and wanted riches above everything else.

They ended up extremely rich.

[hmghosthost]

Come to the Whydah Pirate Museum in Provincetown MA on Cape Cod for answers to all your questions!

[jrcobb1994]

how is it a copyright violation

[DeeHong]

I have no idea, this channel is from National Geographics!

[michaelwright999]

I enjoyed watching it , Im 12 miles from Africa leave it on.

[siraff2]

Well that's just lost you everyone that MAY have come after seeing this vid.

Lets hope you get closed down.

[Atalantius]

This is the official NationalGeographic channel - they have permission, no doubt.

[IronicallyVague]

Can you please post the exact GPS location of the Whydah plz?

Thanks in advance

[IronicallyVague]

Fake? no, there's still many real treasure ship wrecks out there to be found .

Care to join the lenghty list of dreamers & vagabonds who spend their entire lives diving or digging holes on hunches & speculation?

If you never found a single gold dubloon it would be a life well spent.

[IronicallyVague]

Follow your dreams

[IronicallyVague]

There's an old book called the fate of the Grosvenor, Tale of a shipwreck on the coast of Africa? Its well worth a quick read.

The cargo manafest of the treasure on board makes the Spanish Attocha look like a piggy bank.

But as a shipwreck & survival story it has no equile, could be a great movie.

[modelleg]

Did they have to do battle with the Sate for possession of the artifacts?

[donnyromo]

I read a book called Expedition Whydah. It was an amazing read. I'd encourage anyone with an interest in pirate lore, adventure, or even history to read it.

Makes me want to see the museum.

[hmghosthost]

As a staff member at the Whydah Pirate Museum, I cannot encourage everyone enough to come and see the wonderful treasures and displays available here at the museum in Provincetown, Cape Cod Massachusetts! You'll be especially fascinated by the mysterious real Treasure Canon on display. It's absolutely thrilling. Come see us soon.

[shaggyboo]

I am coming down on a business trip to Boston but I am going to drive out there to see the museum. Is it about 3 hours away by car?

I'm excited. I have a grade 2 coin from the atocha wreck found by Mel Fisher

[zofistar]

lucky bastard :)

[FUCKJAPAN0089]

wow.. really interesting.. wonder where he got the finance from..

[JacobKenneth]

Cocane

[TheDuderinoDk]

It's called cocain Kid xD

[headlightsunderwater]

cocaine?

[ffairlane57]

See? Massachusetts isn't such a boring place after all.

[rezpatriot]

it looks quite a quiet nice place actually perfect for hill walks, decent converstations and lots of modern history. I would like to go there, I'm from Portsmouth and Guernsey in the UK, there are many ship wrecks there, famously the Mary Rose which is actually preserved today in a warehouse and continiuous spray from salt water which is the only way to preserve the hull of the ship that capsized in 1545, during Henry VIII. its the only 16th century warship on display anywhere in the world

[clariny90]

look at the man! hes trying so hard not to cry. FAKE smile!

[andrew87roy]

ARRR MATIE!

[danig11997]

i am doing a project on this!

[whackjambooty]

It was actually Robert Louis Stevenson (Treasure Island) who first wrote & gave the current perception of pirates; eye patch, wooden leg, parrots etc.

[Blackmailman]

cool story

[AkinaMizuki]

I sooooo wanna be a pirate (after watching the anime "One Piece", I wanted to become a pirate...).

[doraemonrox]

Pirates don't have fun making jokes and sailing around with women with triple D tits and Japanese swordsmens and rein dears.

[legendy2j]

mmmmmm VAgiana!

[Celticswynd]

really Akina? Enjoy your scurvy :D

[LouisianaGatorGirl]

[LouisianaGatorGirl]

What's going to happen to all the artifacts (pistols, dinnerware, doubloons, etc) that they recovered from the shipwreck?

[Richinator2000]

[LouisianaGatorGirl]

That's what I was afraid of.

i would have to think of a kickass bone chilling name dont i? LOL

but emm. isnt being a pirate illegal or somthing? idr

[sirlordwhitman]

you wouldn't be the first girl pirate..

there were countless girl pirates back in the day who were just as brutal as their male counterparts - the type that would behead their prisoners for sport and would feed rats and entrails to the crew while she ate scotch and sirloin. Looks like you already have a bunch of followers awaiting your abuse.. :)

[cookiekiller5]

there were TONS of girl pirates back then.....i wanna be a pirate too, ok thats it ive been playing way too much pirates online

[rayne0tinzy]

i know right?my room is covered with pirate stuff ive collected on ebay and stuff!pirates online takes meh 2 another "world" i wish i could of been there!i love pirates..i wanna make out with CPT.Jack Sparroe...lol

[Celticswynd]

Captain Jack Sparrow has NOTHING against Black Sam Bellamy. Calaco Jack and Blackbeard can kick Sparrow's ass. Learn you some bout the real pirates. And to Cookie, I can only name two girl pirates off hand. Anne Bonnay and Mary Reede.

[IIIcoreyIII]

It's actually Anne Bonny but close enough.

[perfectxokissess]

LOL really? people told me that they bring bad luck.

but istill wouldnt beleive that.

if its really illegal id have a pirate crew that just..carried their passports around ^__^

[cookiekiller5]

ya me too

[tmacc]

5*****

[RockAroundTheClock26]

Yay pirates!

[MechanicsOfThought]

The only pirates are in the White House and in the Capitol... the working class is marginalized by corporate interests in this cannibal culture... I will lead us back to prominence with a flick of my wrist and the straw on my back!

[greenmanlv]

Hoist the Jolly Roger and commence to keelhaul  the lilly-livered scurvy dog skalliwags what brought a curse down upon their own crew and pillaged and burned their own encampments!

[danschaoticmind]

I got to see this when it was at the cinncinati zoo. The first thing they show after the opening movie was the ships bell. I tell ya. that was the most awe inspiring moment. In sheer blackness, a single blue glow came to be and in the middle was that ell. I loved it.

[Markdorman]

Can I see this in th UK? I mean without subscribing to SKY?

[TAI6326]

Nice! This is cool 5 stars & Favorited XD

[klakkin]

i want to be a pirate!

[Floodinglake]

YOU ARE A PIRTE!

WE ALL ARE!!!

[patio87]

LoL.

[ArthBHx]

YAY!

[3877878]

Very cool, Im jealous. I would love to have that job

[xmtz]

"But who were these people"?

The pirates on the Whydah were the same people in the team who discovered the wreck - they were the Whydah pirates in their previous lives. Their emotional connection to the Whydah and its treasures and relics drove them to discover the wreck of their ship.

[WoWaddict3d]

Omg.. That was the worst crap I've ever heard.

[xmtz]

If you want to hear worse crap, just shake your head. You will be able to hear it sloshing inside your skull.

[WoWaddict3d]

heh. funny. gotta remember that.

[haatsyuu]

lol

[klakkin]

have you read Celestine Prophecy?

[TAI6326]

loser

[moparman1982]

im sure there are older ships

[extasyNtrance]

wow pretty cool im gonna watch porno now..cya people

[yuanyuanyin]

Actually, this could have been in 4 or 5 parts each 10 minutes long, like any other similar documentaries. I wonder this one is a "teaser" in order to advertise the real video already made!

[luka55555]

it is.

[yuanyuanyin]

Thanks, now I know.

[tunnelneverends]

very cool

[mamacal123]

fascinating.

The Widow led you to her.

Were they Danish pirates? ??

[ArmyBlackKnights]

they would be either English or American since all the inscriptions are in the English language

[mamacal123]

is the search done?

[Spiralworm]

Reminds me off a movie which was filmed in my country. lol

[LimeGhost117]

Do they actually get to keep the treasure?

[VancouverDriver]

If it's a priate ship in international waters then you can keep all of it.

If you discover a ship, the country that owned the ship wants their stuff back.

[k6yardotcom]

I didn't know this, thanks for the tip. The country that owns it gets it back, wow!

Wonder if pirates have their own island unknown to the world... wouldn't that be awesome.

LOL: ) Ruben ; just another nature lover.

[RancidAyatollah]

I think I'd look good with a wooden leg and a googly eye, with a patch over it.

[cookiekiller5]

thats not what pirates look like, really, and a wooden leg..seriously...a wooden leg and an eyepatch....wow.. who ever said they looked like that?

[HeyYouNotYou]

Whoever aid they don't look like these things?

[AceLockCo]

They actually did wear an eye patch. The reason was because of lack of light below deck. They could not light candles or lamps due to risk of fire. The salor would wear an eye patch and when below deck he would switch sides and his nightvision would be ready to go.

[hhk78]

that's sweet

[zilverfin]

lol?

[RedHawkPictures]

AceLockCo is right. I've heard about that too, most pirates wore an eyepatch for nightvision more than loss of an eye.

[zilverfin]

ur telling me their other eye is nightvision? how come it does not work on me?

[Nojtb]

lol when your in a dark room for a long time its easier to see in the dark comparing to when yu just enter from a lighter room, and this works alike when you cover the eye in darkness, just switch the patch over and it will be easier to see in the dark.

[AceLockCo]

It will work on you, try it out.  Cover one eye and go outside during a very sunny day. Then go inside into a dark room, you won't be able to see anything for a while. Then switch eyes and you will be able to see much better.

[Alex0992]

Mythbusters

[KimOfDrac]

@AceLockCo and also people did get hurt even lose their eyes, since they weren't very popular and there were many fights going on

[gut197]

@AceLockCo very interesting

[Zjefke86]

@AceLockCo With one eye you don't have depth perception. And that's not something you want to sacrifice. Certainly not if you have to fight.

[AceLockCo]

@Zjefke86 - remove the eye patch when necessary. I am sure they didn't always wear it, especially at night.

[LutzDerLurch]

@AceLockCo That is actually are Myth, and an untrue one for sure.

[roxas666777]

@LutzDerLurch

its obviose its true, at least thats what i've herd

[LutzDerLurch]

@roxas666777 Well, you need two eyes to provide your brain with enough information to triangulate Distances for you. With only one eye, you loode what is neccessary to seize the lines, to fight with a sword, or pistol etc. The Benefit would occur so incredibly rarely, that you simply overwhelmingly outweigth the "benefits". The reason why Pirates, as Seamen in general, wore Eyepatches more frequently than other Folks, is that some of the early Instruments for the Navigation required you

[LutzDerLurch]

@roxas666777 cont to look into the sun directly. if you do this just a few seconds, it is unhealthy, if you do this Minutes,, well, guess what. So over the Years these very careful short glipses into the sun, even when sometimes partially douced by dark glass, ruin and blind your eye. An then yoou start wearing an eyepatch.

[GameRock123]

@AceLockCo Yes they could light candles below deck, Well not maybe candles but Lanterns, If they didnt have any lanterns at all the ship would be beck dark and they were not they had lanterns on all decks

[PARTYORWHAT]

@AceLockCo really i always thought they lost an eye and thats why the used eyepatches

[alabamagoofycat]

I heard about a pirate sexual practice called "slicklegging".

Sounds like some serious bump-n-grind.

Makes me happy to be a landlubber.

[nonodont]

oh you must mean group masturbation. yeah pirates get lonely out at sea you know. but its not gay if...if you...um...if you uhh...dont look around more than three times! thats it!yeah slicklegging. fascinating

[madmax797]

arent pirates thieves, rapists, murderers essentially? why romanticize these thugs

[colgatesmiley]

because, pirates are cool.

[madamzoom]

becuase Disney can do it, why not them. ;)

[flamegecko]

lol

[DanielSmith604]

Well when you put it that way. :P Same can go for ninjas. They're assassins that show no mercy, all for coin. What scum right? Who cares? They're still awesome!

[madmax797]

what? i thought ninjas were the frontline army of a king.. like the elite soldiers.. they are not like pirates who attack 'civilian' ships and ransack and do whatever they want

[Brimstone87]

I am not sure how treasure hunting goes, but because he found the ship first does that mean anything related to the ship belongs to him and his team now?

[madmax797]

in the states atleast i believe finders keepers.. i often wonder - if i got a pot of ancient gold coins.. who would i sell it to :-)ebay?

[inhuman216]

A small token percentage goes to the country where you find the treasure. The Majority is yours, I think its tax free too.

[GhostDragon10]

The story of Bellamy and Maria Hallett is so romantic and sad, look it up...*sigh*

[LimeGhost117]

When you mentioned Bellamy, it reminded me of One Piece =p

[MuffinBakersGrimm]

Cool.

[rotijon]

whoww!!this is great.awesom.splendid.whooh.wh­is video is really awesome.yeah.whoww!!!fascinati­ng!!!omgomgomg.this is for real.whow..great!!!!

Shiver me timbers, they found me booty! Those scurvy dogs.

[LUVMYKID136]

[dkrikori]

fascinating! i would love to see this whole show - but don't have cable.

one thing i really can't stand are dramatizations! are you reading this national geographic? they're so annoying!

[justwatchin07]

[brendcl]

i have see it!!! it's good and cool!!!
