5. Consolacion Shipwreck
Pirates wreaked so much havoc in on the seas, they could actually make their enemies sink their own boats. In August of 1680 a ship called the Consolacion sunk off the coast of Ecuador. The galleon was encountered by a group of English pirates, after it had picked up a large amount of gold from Lima, Peru. Before Pirates could get their hands on some of the treasures they were seeking the Spanish, set the ship on fire. They’d rather have the boat at the bottom of the sea then hand it over. A crew of explorer eventually salvaged the wreck in 1997 near the Santa Clara Island of Ecuador. Large amounts of gold and silver coins were uncovered and are even on sale online.
4. Montego Bay Pirate Treasure
Montego Bay located on the island of Jamaica is an infamous place where pirates commonly lurked so it made for an excellent location to search for pirate treasures! A group of American treasure hunters set sail in the jamaican waters hoping to snatch some booty. The 17th century English vessel named the Manticore, was badly damaged and found in international waters just outside the Jamaican border limit. One of the scuba swimmers, Rick Miller, describes it as being an amazing experience, with gold and silver everywhere! Treasure’s one could only dream of! Just the weight of the precious metals alone is worth 187 million dollars.
3. Black Beard’s Ship in North Carolina
In 1966, a an important piece of history was brought to the surface with the help from underwater divers off the coast of Beaufort, North Carolina. The vessel of, Queen Anne’s Revenge finally saw the light of day once again. This time, the boat came from Blackbeard himself and it is a true miracle this artifact from the past was brought to surface. They came across the heavy cannons, some weighing 2000 pounds each. 30 cannons were found total. Each cannonball that was fired, weighed at least 6 pounds. More than 280,000 rare historical facts were found. This pirate met Davy Jones locker in a gruesome fashion. British soldiers displayed is severed head on the ship where he was executed as a warning to pirates. That’s just a pirate’s life for you. This replica is what it possibly would have looked like at full strength and would have struck fear in any sailors heart! His flag was also gruesome.
2. Pirates Hand
While doing a little bit of cleaning, a Florida couple in Tampa Bay were going through their attic when they came across a startling discovery. In the attic was a wooden box with a treasure map. Spanish coins and the strangest of all; a severed hand with a ring on it! Could these be some artifacts left from the legendary Jose Gaspar, a legendary Spanish pirate who would sail off the west coast of Florida, although it’s still a mystery of whether he even existed at all. Before you start jumping to conclusions, the authenticity is hard to prove. Pirates weren’t too well-known for openly documenting their every move. The Tampa Bay History curator, told WFLA news that he believed the coins are too thin to be authentic. And who knows if that hand thing is even real?! Is this finding a morbid hoax or possibly an unbelievable pirate hoax?
1. The Whydah Discovery
The Whydah was a British slave ship that was originally captured by “Black Sam” and was found off the coast of Cape Cod in Massachusetts in 1984 by Barry Clifford. He actually credits a pirate treasure map that many discredited as being false. It seems to be the holy grail of pirate discoveries! Priceless artifacts were discovered including 200,000 individual pieces were received under only 14 feet of water. Rare gold and silver coins, gold jewelry and artifacts, cannons, sword handles and even a boy’s leg! The boat is believed to carry the plunder of 10 ships. Spanish Galleons were relentless looted by Black Sam until him and his crew were swept away by a strong storm in 1717. Divers pulled together huge clumps of gold coin masses that stuck together from years of being underwater. A museum exhibition called “Real Pirates: The Untold Story of the Whydah, from Slave Ship to Pirate Ship”, toured the United States. Barry believes there is more treasure out there from this wreck.
BRO THE CAPTAIN MORGAN JOKE HAD ME DEAD🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
Why can’t Americans not pronounced the Burght in names,it’s edinBurgh,Edinburgh Fraserburgh and home town Musselburght ,all in Scotland,say the Burgh part if your shouting.
aaaaRRRRRRRRcheology … nice.
Found some bones that are approx 400 years old. There were pirates then. These must be pirate bones. Excellent bit of deduction there.
😂your funny
I live about 500 yards from Captain Morgan House. Its Call The Llanrumney Hall here in Wales.
The initial description of captain Morgan has me dead
Number 3 is not correct, blackbeard’s ship was found in 1996 not 1966
Its like the real pirates of the Caribbean in Disneyland
The queen Anne’s revenge was not discovered in 1966 it was dicovered by intersal inc. November 21 1996 . Are you too lazy to even do a Google search for correct information. 30 years is more than a minor mistake…. especially since it takes less than 30 seconds to get the correct info .
Niiiise de se de no big no bo
The history, of individual, British persons, indicates, that, they were demonized. In fact, the religion, of Western Europeans, was Demon Worship..Jesus, is a demon. Christianity, is the worship, of Satan.
It’ll be awesome to catch a glimpse of what pirates ate
Stay in school kids, or one day you might be terribly narrating bad historical videos on YouTube at a rate of 15 mistakes per minute, thus revealing your dumbness globally to a lot of people. Who made the mistake of watching it.

Did they ever bring the titanic pirate ship back up?

Kidds treasure was actually found on Gardiners island and used as evidence against him in his trial and subsequent execution
It was showing prices of gold that they had found in there attic and it said Israel on it. Like Israel was a country at that time.
So "discovery" 8 is a non-discovery?

Jesus! What a junk. How can this channel have so many sub’s!
"Could we be looking into the face of a pirate?" Or, maybe the face of a (future) politician?
A slave took most of Black Sam gold and it was taken from them
Great video! I mean this in no rude way at all
Edinburgh is pronounced "ed-in-bur-uh" :))
Number 2 was in the goonies
That story, the #1, when they pulled up the cannons they found that some had the bore seal with lead. The supposition being that these were used as safes for valuables. However the contents, if any, were never revealed.
This video sucks
So far it’s all

Captain kid
Fishing weights I don’t think that they use fishing gear I mean I definitely would have if they have the technology in that time but I’m not sure they had lead making materials I mean nothing I knew was made of lead
Also to note captain Kidd was also a masonic grand master who built a lot of old NYC including the trinity church where several of his fellow freemasons are buried, also good to note is the use of skull and crossbones in freemasonry is the same as pirates including Blackbeard (Edward Teach). Different styles of the flag correspond with the various lodges of the Scottish rite
He wasn’t executed being executed is like being lined up put on your knees and shot or hung or put in a electric chair. He died in a battle on a ship where he was shot 3 times and stabbed multiple times while killing and fighting a captain
I just fell down a rabbithole by watching South park somali pitates.
