The Real-Life Captain Morgan Was More Interesting Than His Rum

- When you hear the name "Captain Morgan," images of bros posing with a handle of spiced rum with one foot danging precariously in the air probably come to mind. While there were plenty of pirates whose reputations were built on boozin' it up with bar wenches à la modern rum-guzzling frat bros, the real Captain Morgan is not one of them.
Sir Henry Morgan doesn't sound like the name one of the most terrifying pirates in the Caribbean - but the ruthless Captain Henry Morgan propelled himself to fame and riches by terrorizing his enemies and seizing a fortune in gold from the Spanish. The history of piracy is full of surprises, and these Henry Morgan facts are no exception.

Captain Morgan's crew had better job benefits than I do.
I presume ur in the United States then...
@@philipberthiaume2314 That is correct.
@@maureenu3047 ok, well best to you, I hope u get something that can give u what u need.
I'm waiting for a corporate bootlicker to tell you to find another job.
@@grimsonforce7504 well that is seriously misguided if it happens. In Canada where I'm from, we view social programming as a service we give to ourselves. The middle class and the working class generate all the wealth, through our governments we choose to give ourselves social supports. And one of the biggest protections we have is the fact that we ban corporate donations into the political process. Most of our elected officials are not millionaires or billionaires as a result.
Sounds like a joke:
What defence did Captain Morgan have at Portobelo?
Nun.
Hahahaha
This made me laugh audibly. Congrats, you cracked my cold, dead heart XD
Don’t know why this isn’t the most liked comment
Oh geez I feel my Catholic guilt giggling at that!
Bloody genius
Captain Morgan sounded like a fucking legend
I still am!
What a badass
He was. He is.
Not to the spaniards.
He used women as a shield in a gunfight like nino brown he sound like a smooth coward to me but I guess
This makes Jack Daniel look like a child
This makes Jim Beam look like a toddler
This makes Jose Cuervo look like an ultrasound.
Evan Williams be a sperm y’all
@@yeoldenew 💀😂
Henry Morgan and Jack Daniels were both Welsh, they were born lucky I suppose lol
Man was a rock star/pro wrestler/private army bad mfer antihero figure
Looted ships even during a truce.
Sacked panama with minimal casualties.
Inhaled beef to celebrate.
Was arrested for prison cred.
Knighted.
Then spent the rest of his life as a governor with a plantation.
I thought only in an open world sandbox rpgs are these achievements possible.
I'd rather be a Pirate then a politician
- Captain Henry James Morgan
Ironically before serving as Jamaican Governer
Now I think this makes Captain Morgan the most interesting man in the world.
John Paul Jones was pretty cool
And he didnt drink XX
an imperialist homicide
I dont always drink dos equis....in fact, i never drink dos equis
Oh imagine being at the men’s wrath?
The Pirate’s code is more of what you would call guidelines.
Nice reference !
I'm a direct decendant of captain Morgan, and in watching that movie rn 🤣
@@daddychunk6320 if you’re telling the truth: DAMN THAT’S AWESOME
They don't name rum after just anyone, you know.
if ever I made my own rum I'd name it Blackbeard's spit hahahah
"The Kraken Black Spiced Rum"
It was amazing, and I love the tentacle glass coming with it!
If I made rum, I’d name it after the band Alestorm
This channel is by far more interesting than my history teacher
I would have been more interested I learning
Weird History is by far one of best CZcams channels. With that being said it’s a shame you haven’t had a shitty history teacher. I actually had one of the most Badass history teachers who taught us a bunch of extra things that was not covered in our history books and the standard curriculum. My teacher made us super excited to learn based off of his teaching style and all of the added facts he incorporated as time went on.
I find history much more interesting now that I don't have to take a test LOL
I failed history in high school but got a 4.0 GPA as a history major couple of years later! It really helps being able to chose what you’d want to learn about
@@TobbeStorm PGA? Pro Golfer? Drinking Captain Morgan? 😅🤣😂
"The defeated numerous town's guards by using the Catholic faith against them"
This guy, I like this guy. He had the chance to go cannons blazing but nope. Clever.
is that the same thing you say when muslims use human shields for strategic purposes as well?
@@pill1154 the only thing a well placed drone strike does is takes money from where it needs to be and puts it in the hands of wealthy defense industry investors
@@pill1154 exactly, it's all about money as I said before. It's not just obama, bush and trump did the same thing.
“But the Nun shield paid off”
Lol I don’t know why I laughed so hard at that
It was a bunch of nunsense!
Weird history intro’s are getting better and better each day!!
Weird History's pirate videos arrrrrrrrr the best on CZcams.
Get a load of this guy
I loved that🤣🤣
And shiver me timbers!
y’all can walk the plank
I sea what you did
RUM!

Why is the rum gone
Why is the Rum always gone....?!
20 years later
Weird history: today we are going to take a look back at Covid -19 the era of disaster how the world changed
"in the year 0 BC (before corona)..."
more like, 20 years later
Weird history: Today we are going to take a look back at the Covid-19 scamdemic and how governments of the world fooled their citizens and took away our rights!
@@puregameplay7916 well literally but people still think something actually exist
It will go down as ONE of the biggest scams in history
If anyone is permitted to speak truthfully about what is happening right now, I will be pleasantly surprised.
Are we not going to mention he looks like Disney’s Captain Hook?
Considering how famous he is as a pirate, Disney almost certainly based Captain Hook's appearance on him.
your not wrong
Yeah, Captain frigging Hook.
He reminds me of gol d roger from one piece
Careful or Disney will copyright a pirates as a whole!
Today's lesson: pirates of the 17th century offered better health care and compensation than my employer.
Oof
I lived in the Caribbean for almost ten years and became a serious rum head- Captain Morgan’s is nasty. And for the record, I’ve got a buddy on one island that’s been dressing as a pirate for years. Like, almost every day. He threw legendary pirate parties on a beach at midnight. Twenty or so pirate flags in the sand, pirate music, loads of booze and a weapons table with throwing axes, knives, swords, and wooden targets. Still amazed nobody ever died...
to be fair who did have good sense of alcohols as a kid? its all whatever you can get your hands on and cheap. Like Sierra Nevada is the gateway craft beer. I like Diplamatico as my rum
Correct! I'm from the Caribbean; and Captain Morgan’s should not be called "rum"
What do you and your pirate friend drink...??
Seagrams was started by two immigrants to Canada, who made their fortune selling bootleg booze to all Capone outside of Moose Jaw Saskatchewan! Monsters and rum runners saluting pirates in booze, how fuckin cool is that?
And now the heiresses are in a cult!
Did you hear about the time that they nearly captured Captain Morgan? He made a rum for it.
Booooo
My ancestor, John Paul Tingle, was a privateer during the Revolution who preyed on British ships. The British eventually caught him and hung him at Annapolis docks.
K
Yikes
Lol pretty stupid business plan to be a privateer against the British at that time
FINALLY!! Been waiting for this for years!! A proper little documentary on Henry Morgan! I grew up next to his families house in Tredegar in South Wales ! Always been interested in him and loved tracing his steps in Cuba!!!
One of the best channels on CZcams. Thank you for all the entertainment!
Can we please get a vid on "what led to idea of a zombie apocalypse?" In THIS Narrator's voice? That'd seriously make my day!❤️
Wasn't it the bible??.... "when there's no room left in he'll, the dead will walk the earth".
@@bombercountyblues lol
Damn, last time I was this early the rum was still being barrelled.
NO ONE CARES SHUT UP
Last time I was this early Rum was still illegally snuggled from Canada
They do still store high end rum in barrels to age...
@@faithfultotheend5202 You cared enough to respond.
Lol
Apparently Captain Morgan isn't considered a rum because of its low alcohol content but a rum flavoured liqueur, didnt know that
Its also heavily flavored, colored and sweetened after distillation.
@@peterhamlet1415 and then I add the Dr Pepper with 25 more flavors plus some lime
That stuff is disgusting. 🤮
At least in the EU, in addition to the alcohol content requirement (at least 37.5%), a liquor has to be fermented from sugar cane, not have added flavorings, not have more than 100 g of added sugar per liter, nor have coloring other than caramel (E150d) added to it in order to be allowed to be marketed as rum.
What! I used to love mixing this with diet coke. Mind you i was only a teenager at the time
A look into famous female pirates would be an interesting topic.
We do have a video on that!
That would be cool
@@WeirdHistory what about Anne Bonny?? I don’t see anything on her unless I’m missing something
Mary Reed and Anne Bonny. Those are the only ones I know. And a Chinese woman pirate but IDK her name.
I believe they have one over a female pirate prison ship and one where a woman disguised herself as a man to become a pirate.
Henry Morgan was even mentioned in a Toei anime from the 1960s called the Pirate Prince, which was created with permission from Shotaro Ishinomori, the Kamen Rider creator.
It's a bit weird but just the fact that you're doing part of the history of my country , Panama and hearing la Ciudad de Portobelo being spoken of moved me to tears. Thank you Weird History. It's not common to see videos like this feature mi hermosa Panamá 🇵🇦
At 3:35 that's a depiction of black beard, you can see the smoke rising from his hair. He was known for lighting bits of candle or fuses so they would smoke and be intimidating.
The old Errol Flynn "Swashbuckler" movies
bring the privateer/pirate
stories to life!
Wonderful adventure stories!
I was at the docks and saw a man with a wooden leg, a hook for a hand and an eye patch. I asked him how he lost his hand and he said "Me matey fell overboard and when I reached in to scoop him up a blasted shark bit me hand clean off". Then I asked about his leg and he answered "I was in a sea battle with a Spanish man-o-war and a cannonball blew me leg to smithereens". Then I inquired about his missing eye and with a forlorn look he said "A seagull pooped right in me eye matey". When I told him that seagull poop wouldn't take out your eye he answered "Arghh, twere me first day with the hook".
😆
There is another legend: Captain Bravo. He was a brave and warring pirate that took care of this men. One day, from the crows nest a pirate warned 3 rival boats are approaching! Captain Bravo yelled, Bring me my red shirt! The 3 rival boat approached and Captain Bravo lead his men to victory! Days later, from the crows nest, a pair are warned 4 enemy shops are fast approaching! Capt. BrVo yelled man your stations and bring me my red shirt! They fought the battle and won. That evening, sitting around with their spoils of war, a pirate asked, Capt Bravo, you lead us into battles that we certainly would not try, you bring out the best of us in battle why though, do you ask for your red shirt before battle? Capt Bravo tells them, the red will hide my blood from you if I were to be injured, I wouldn’t want you to know and you all will continue fighting. Oh, they are so pleased with Capt. Bravo, what a fine Captain he is. The next day, from the crows nest, 7 enemy ships are approaching!!! Capt Bravo yelled, Bring me my brown pants!!!!!!

Found another reason to love the rum even more.
I'm going to go on a binge learning more about Captain Morgan he is so cool!
If you were our history teacher maybe I wouldn’t have fell asleep everyday in class (he got used to it and left me alone)
Hahaha!
ARRRRRRRR!!!
I love how this video was made after I've been binge drinking captain morgans for the last 3 nights
Well knowing that you have a problem is the first step they say... lol
@@Eye_of_a_Texan 😳
@@nevermore.lenore obviously I did. Binge drinking several nights in a row is going to be some kind of problem for someone. I would think.
They forgot to add why he was on the island Jamaica in the first place. He kept crashing his ships there. After he crashed so many, the king refused to get him another ship. lol
Thanks for doing this. What an interesting bit of history.
All things pirate ! That’s what we want more of ! Excellent video
I loved this episode simply because I am from Panama, the place that Capt. Morgan raided and massacred so many, and yet in my country we learn so little as to why he did what he did and really who was he. We’re just thought to basically hate the man, this was absolutely interesting to learn about him and how much of a bad ass he really was, the crazy part about this is that I’ve been plenty of time in Portobelo and the city that he destroyed, it’s intense to see. just found this channel, definitely subscribing! Thanks
Love the videos keep it up‼️
Spiciest rum tooting man I've ever known.
captain morgan reminds me of being blacked out in a field at age 14..
I actually can drink a whole bottle and still drive well..
Um.... Marry me?
Man, this is some rich history information. If done right this could either be a standalone movie, TV series, or a nice addition to the Pirates of the Caribbean
Fantastic video, I honestly had no idea Captain Morgan was a real person let alone a certified bad ass.
And torturer! But you have to look just a LITTLE farther into it!
He was a despicable man ,but yeah he did had his wits and talent.
That was great! Cheers for making learning new things fun!
Side note , I love using captain Morgan to make tiramisu . It’s a hit so good
Hello weird history ! I’m 15 years old and study history for my GCSE’s I have a project next term about the War of 1812 and I know nothing about it. I know all of you lot are better than my history teachers so can you make a video all about the War of 1812. Thank you ☺️
Nah he's nowhere near as interesting as I think I am on his rum
😆
His story needs a movie. It would be epic!!!
Could you please consider doing a video about the weird history of ballet? One story is that Marie Taglioni (first ballerina to dance on pointe) was so famous people ATE part of her shoes after a performance because she was so amazing.
Breaking Bad taught me what "tortuga" means.
There's a restaurant here called Tortuga Jack's. I didn't know where they got Tortuga from. 🤷♂️
Great video! More pirate stories please. Especially about women pirates.
I like both. The rum is spicy as the man was. Great video.
Awesome editing lately!
You see, CEOs?
You want the best talent and most motivation from your employees, you offer solid benefits and a profit share package.
And maybe Pirate Casual Mondays with a ration of rum
🤔...can I work for you😁
Didn’t he serve on HMS Proctor & Gamble with Commander Crunch, who later went on to Captain the cereal we know as Captain Crunch. 🤣🤣🤣
You are thinking about Jean LaFeet who became a pirate after Crunch had Jean whipped for insubordination.
@@paulwoida8249 thank for that correct of my fictional history. 🤣🤣🤣
This is badass. Do you guys remember those super cool Captain Morgan commercials? Those ruled.
I’m not always a history guy or an education guy for that matter but this channel makes learning fun! All their videos are really interesting wish school teachers could just play this
Damn.. according to this biography, this guy was like a prototype for a modern age politician
Yeah. Their all pirates. The commercial codes are the laws of the sea. You know the columbus story?
Modern age politicians dont share anything whit the People.

Sorry if this has already been suggested or covered, but it would be cool to see you do something on The Rus and Ibn Fadlam’s account of their funeral practices. Love your videos!
Great, was waiting for this video. Greetings ViceAdmiral Morgan
the REAL question is who has a higher death count, captain morgan the rum, or captain morgan then man??
This captain guy is a featherweight compared to the Life and Times of Cap'n Horatio Magellan Crunch
I absolutely love your videos. I have a request- can you lower the level of music? I have an auditory processing disorder that makes it hard to hear.
Love this channel😘
Cymru am byth! 🏴
Wow what a badass! I'd love a Pirates of the Carribean Esq movie about him!
If you don't mind reading, George MacDonald Fraser has a book about all this kind of stuff called The Pyrates. It's a really fun read, although it's about the Brotherhood and the Spanish rather than Henry Morgan.
That's so amazing thank you for this video, I was just drinking rum cocktail before this video
I never really got into history, but watching these videos and the narrative is completely captivating and quite entertaining ☺️
Captain! The real one was baddass!
Captain Morgan always makes me sick. 9/10 times I drink it, my night will end with me puking on the floor. Had to retire it after I graduated university. Lol
Living for the new quality graphics.
Rainy day and weird history binge you can’t go wrong
I’m telling you, if you get rid of this narrator this channel will yank. This narrator has a fantastic voice. Smooth and serious
*Disney should've made a movie about Captain Morgan instead of Jack Sparrow*
Greatest narrator of all time!!!!
Great stuff
That new into is dope
What does dope mean
@@HyprHotshot super dope
I love how the governor of Jamaica arrested him, sent him to England to stand trial, then must have heard he'd been knighted, just before the guy showed back up to take his job and become the new governor of Jamaica.
Great video, but should have saved it for Talk Like a Pirate Day.
Your channel is great, if only history teachers could be as compelling

Goodluck
Why another life? You can enjoy the pirate life now without the whole seasickness thing! Just garb up and hit some Renaissance Festivals!
History and humour, I love it.
This was super fun to watch, and interesting.. now excuse me whilst I make a drink of Captain Morgan on ice... CHEERS 🍻
Please stop referring to England when talking about Captain Morgan. He was Welsh. A completely separate country.
I understand your pain.. Nepalese such as I are often refered to as Indians and that pisses me off
Get over yourself back in the that day you were a borough of England

Wow he amazing guy he is as legendary he more that the rum does do justice love this channel just found this😊
Follow this up with a video about Port Royal, once the most wicked city on earth, filled with pirates n brothels
I’m getting one piece vibes from this man.

Wow! Very interesting.
I usually listen to these before bed to wind down but when he sent his own ship into battle filled with explosives my heart raced, now I feel more like swashbuckling than sleeping 😆
