The lowly quartermaster Henry Every (Avery) takes fortune into his own hands when he leads a mutiny to oust his captain and turn the crew into pirates. Perhaps the most valuable treasure hoard in the world is making its way across the Indian Ocean in a ship called the Ganj-i-Sawai or the Gunsway. Every and his band of pirates decide to attack it. This is the story of the adventure, the horrible villainies, and the mysterious fate of the “King of the Pirates,” Henry Every.

My mother always said that her family was descended from Every who changed his name to John Avery, and lived his days in Louisiana, which is where she from.
two-man crew??? This looks like it was made in a studio with a team of expert historians and videographers alike.

The fact that Every was never found is testement to his intelligence. Being able to separate himself from the pirate world into anonymity was an amazing feat.
when we look at the context today, its very rare for a man to just disappear like that with no trace. Most would eventually pop back up as leaving a life of excitement and freedom behind is hard to accept. So either he was extremally intelligent or he soon died after, possibly got sick.
I feel like the piss poor book keeping and accountability back then made it so much easier to disappear, change your identity, and just go on with a new life.
Obviously he wasn’t found, he’s resting nice and easy in libertalia
@@SomeUrbanNinja He would need to be frugal, spending a vast fortune would draw attention, even at the time.

Wealth, fame, power.
Henry Avery, King Of The Pirates attained this and everything the world has to offer and his dying words drove countless souls to the seas.
"You want my treasure? You can have it! I left everything I gathered in one place. Now you just have to find it."
These words lured men to the Oceans in pursuit of dreams greater than they ever dared to imagine.
These is the time known as THE GOLDEN AGE OF PIRACY!

What episode ur on
THE ONE PIECE! THE ONE PIECE IS REALLLLL!
“We do hereby charge all his Majesty’s Admirals, Captains and other officers at sea… to seize and take Henry Every and such as are with him on the ship to be punished as Pirates upon the High Seas.” It is appalling to me that people don’t issue wanted notices like this anymore, if I heard a proclamation about me spoken like that, it’d terrify me.
I agree that it is a very frightening warrant of arrest. But that is the advantage of a Monarchy: no bureaucracy to get in the way.
Yea I’m the us you have people wanted but it isn’t the same
Count on it, england want you dead to this day .
Newly called NWO agenda.
If you did the kind of shit this guy did, there might be a more aggressive warrant out for you. But also if you were the kind of person to do the kind of shit this guy did, you probably wouldn't care about that warrant or be particularly terrified.
It's called a subpoena.. they can be quite verbose.
"After buying slaves, Every went to hunt sea turtles". Like how evil can one dude be??
All that's left is to head over to S America and club some baby seals.
For the times he was a pretty average guy!
Back then, on a ship making months long ocean crossing, they had to stock up on whatever food they could. There was no way or time to really fish for food, so turtles, who have a lot of meat wouldve been an easy choice.
After sailing for a slave trader he went fishing, truly evil
Applying your post modernist view of ethics to a historical figure! Ya man so evil!
Under the Black Flag is an excellent book about piracy. Before the New World, Madagascar was a pirate port.
Popularized by Uncharted 4 as the location of the fictionalized Libertatia.
Before the New World? or during that era?
Saint Mary’s island was another one
@@greenwave819 Should be during. Near the end of the 17th Century, pirates from the Americas went on the the Pirate Round using Madagascar safe ports then once more at the end of the Golden Age of Pirates.
Did you ever watch the Starz show Black Sails? Such an amazing show! It starts towards the end of the pirates climax

Dang man that is one profound, articulate and downright SEXY sentence. I listened to it at least half a dozen times. Well done. You've got one heck of a writing team on this channel I'll tell you that.

@@HistoryDose Well your channel is top tier for sure, your voice, music, and tone of all your videos are all perfect in my opinion.
Ok but what does that sentence mean
@@killerinstinctstudios9065 basically that the pirates, despite committing horrible acts, still held on to some form of a moral compass. But since it was pirates talking about the shame of the atrocities, the confessions came out looking like cheap excuses rather than noble acts of confession before god. or so I think idk
@@killerinstinctstudios9065 it means to read more books

@@alejandromaldonado6159 Yep, Freedom is earned in blood and steel as every man dream at the seas or oceans was like the internet of our time.
Henry Avery outplayed the two most powerful empires at the time, the British and Mughal. That was quite impressive.
I don't think british were that powerful in early 17th century.
TBH the timing of him joining Thomas Tew and knowledge that a treasure loaded ship was leaving port "soonish" is highly suspicious. Especially in the early 1700's communication was limited to mostly documentation. Much like the Gold of Tolosa stolen by a roman proconsul in antiquity, there clearly was some form of corruption at play. Somebody in the know let slip that information, and ensured no trading vessels would be passing by a moored pirate armada. Him disappearing and likely handing over part of his crew as a head for the common mob is also insanely suspicious. He was cleary protected from someone on high, who likely did it not just for gold but petty revenge.
They were right to blame the East India Company.

There's a real pirate king who had the real one piece and set people out on a quest to find it. Still hasn't been found to this day, although one family's been searching for the past 70 years and has almost found it.

Imagine if Avery and Tew founded a pirate utopia on a island in the middle of the Indian Ocean... I mean, with all that treasure and wealth...
It is said Avery founded nassau as a pirate island and all the famous pirates of the Carribean like black beard edward teach, charles vane, jack rackem all came from nassau.
Yeah they landed on sentinel island 😂😂😂
It would have been a short lived haven for oceanbound bandits and cutthroats, as it wouldn't have taken the East India Trading Company much time to bring it's strength to bear. The prospect of a pirate utopia in the middle of the world's wealthiest ocean , though...
That would be a cool video game

Ya but only 13 minutes. Way too short to be top tier unfortunately
you are amazing at telling a story. you got me so invested in this that i didn't even realize it was almost the end of the video, the music and your style were awesome together
I love the brutal reality of the history shown. Not romanticized or sugar coated.
So many adults say things like "oh I would have loved to live in such & such a time". No.......Just no.
there was nothing left , it was either piracy or die homeless of starvation
@@keyboardking8008 People think this was the gentleman century no people were barbarians there were a bunch of chainsaw massacre murderers at that time. To win an argument you would have a gun duel.
@@keyboardking8008 Even if that was the case and they had no choice but to become pirates, that doesn't automatically mean they had no choice but to commit mass rapes and torture of innocent people aboard the vessels they attacked. They could have plundered without defiling those poor women and without burning the entire town to ashes just because they refused to trade with you.
Some people may actually have enjoyed certain time periods depending on their personality and intentions. There’s nothing inherently flawed about that desire. Not to mention that living in ‘safety’ or ‘modernity’ has it’s flaws and limitations. Also, the modern day has as many dark corners if not more than we recognize. Just a thought…
@@alexf9381 you're lucky you ware born in this age of adult day care
I remember sailing down the Strait of Malacca and through the Phillipines aboard a merchant vessel last year. The freeboard on our ship was so small that we would occasionally have to lock down the house and radio the bridge when you had to go onto the main deck due to piracy concerns. We even had to do security drills in case that situation ever happened. We never saw any pirates and they're definitely not what they used to be, but it was a somber reminder that when shit hits the fan on a ship you're on your own til help arrives.
My ship fired on some jackasses there one night.
The world still has some wild places, needless to say.
Wait couldn't be argues that wherever you are. whenever shit hits the fan you're on your own until help arrives?

My CZcams is on a history recommendation spree, and after going through the channels I knew less I can safely say this video had the best story telling/editing/content mix of all. After some 12 years of constant CZcams, it’s quite rare for me to just subscribe to a channel out of the blue, but you guys have earned it. Not trying to make it sound like it means anything, but nice video! Hope you keep it up, I’ll surely keep watching
What can I say? this video is how I was introduced to your channel and what a video it was!!! The scenery, soundtrack, choice of words and manner of narration...this video is a masterpiece! Even if this was your only real video and the others was literally videos of a stilled image of a random wall, I would have still subscribed!!! Keep up the good work!!!
"The Gunsway" a truly badass name for a ship. Too bad she was defiled so viciously.
They even got come on her poopdeck.
It was actually called the "Ganj-i-Sawai" and was a slaver ship.
😁😁😁😁😁
@@riderofthewhitehorse8879 anglicized as the gunsway in this video. And lots of ships of that time were used to transport slaves.
@@riderofthewhitehorse8879 no it was the flagship of the Mughal Emperor, the richest man on the planet. There was no need for mughals to carry out the lowly dishonourable work of running slaving ships.. that was mainly done by europeans americans and north african corsairs
I love these stories of great historical figures who disappear from the records. It's akin to watching a movie with an open ended conclusion. You're kinda just left with your own theories of what their fate may have been. Henry Every is the perfect example of that. Amazing work as always! This my favorite history channel.
Hm, not sure I'd use the word 'Great' to characterise a Man who tortured, killed and sold slaves and oversaw the systemic gang rape of girls. Evil men are a dime a dozen, like rats in the gutters of history.
I'm thinking we probably wouldn't ever agree on what makes a historical figure great.
@@Shoop... I'm thinking you don't understand the meaning of great.
You cannot both be a HISTORICAL figure AND be DISAPPEARED from the records. Known history is literally a record...

One of the best history videos ive seen on this site, visuals are incredible, gets all the geographic and timeline information across - and most importantly has a captivating storyline
I always thought Every was so impressive because he got out.
Throughout history, no matter the time, knowing when and where to get out of the game a rich man and get away with it is rare.
I think Every knew what would happen if he kept going.
Or maybe he faked his name and got pardoned with many other pirates. Maybe he was unknowingly hanged with countless others.
But the fact remains that the name of Henry Every was never killed.
I'm really excited for this one. Real Pirates are brutal, man. I remember checking out a book from my school library at 13 and reading all of these stories about horrific things they did.. after like 3, I decided not to read anymore. One in particular that detailed the brutality of keelhauling really left me disturbed. I still can't believe it was in a middle school library.. must've slipped past the filters, I suppose.
To be fair, keelhauling was a routine punishment on Navy ships too. Punishment for petty thievery would be hanging. The pirates may have been no more brutal than the society around them.
@@MrZombiPineapple yeah, the old days were dark as hell.. and of course, organized government can take credit for almost all of the biggest atrocities committed throughout history. The other 2 stories that I read were some things about what Black Beard did when pillaging, and another one was about this girl pirate who would use dead bodies of people who disobeyed as fish bait.. I really need to find that book, it had a lot more stories that I'd surely enjoy reading now that I'm older.
I think it’s important that kids know about this stuff, should they seek it out, the world is still pretty messed up
@@TickleMeSenpai I agree, to an extent, at least. I just didn't expect a school to have something like that, which is why I assume it was ordered unintentionally or without knowing the true content.
@@MrZombiPineapple I agree wholeheartedly. And society, civilization and the human beings that compose them are still cruel and damning till this very day. More things change the more they stay the same. This is merely an aspect of human beings. We are composed of two sides (good and evil) of the same coin.
I never heard of Every until I played Uncharted 4 back in 2016, it'd be cool if that game got it right and he founded a pirate utopia called Libertalia but the chances of that are basically zero, he just took the money and ran and probably lived out the rest of his life hidden away somewhere
I doubt there was a pirate society or town called Libertalia, but I'm sure there was probably some pirate hideouts
Nassau was known as the prototypical “pirate utopia” that Libertalia was based around.

Pirates of old struck fast and then melted away into legend. Today, pirates make the same movies over and over until we wish they would go away. Outstanding videos.
They really need to make a realistic, dark pirate film.
Modern day pirates make their moves. Then they get a drone strike or hunted down by a special forces unit of one nation or another.
I'm surprised how this channel isn't more popular with a narrater and writing and picture and the story design is amazing. Criminaly underrated. I wonder why
This is an absolute amazing piece to show the life of pirates in general. Amazing work. The soundtrack is epic!
Shows you what pirates, who are still very romantized, actually were. As well as the world around them. Well done!
Also shows what the navy/government is like
You are really going to call out Jack sparrow like that?
@@johnshipley1389 Well it's not the 1600's anymore lol so they're not necessarily like that anymore but I see your point nonetheless
All lies. History is written by winners. Pirates were the good guys!
NO it doenst. Blackbeard for exmaple was a gentleman with a fearsome look. No accounts of him doing serious harm without beeng attacked. The British were much worse. Empires and governments are the worst, always were.
Unbelievably well produced & exceptionally well illustrated! Well done!

One of the most interesting and well told videos I have EVER watched. Huge support for this channel. Love it all!
I need more pirate history stuff like this, with this level of quality in both editing and narration
This video had me glued and so immersed in it the whole way through. Really well made in every way.
Wow, All I ever knew about Every was that he committed one of the biggest heists in history and then did the impossible. Got away with it, hearing of his other crimes you wish he was caught.
I get what you mean, especially the molestation part, but was it ever recorded that Henry Every himself participated in heinous acts outside of the plunder and slaughter one would expect from a pirate? Or wasn't that just his crew and he didn't bother to stop them?
Not saying that being a bystander makes him much better of a man. But I'm curious about his involvement.
@@nielslehnen6076 As the leader, he probably didn't lower himself to engage in such acts with his men. He certainly let them do it though.
Wow, such incredible and terrifying history! Very well done 👏
😊
just found your channel, your videos are so well put together. man i adore history. humankind and our past has been one big adventure better than any fantasy story
"Yar! We be pirates now! What name shall we give our terrifying vessel to strike fear in the heart of any that hears it??"
"How about 'Fancy'?"
Well that’s very piraty if you ask me
That's the thing about pirates, as ex navy they were surprisingly well organized and fruity as apposed to a criminal gang off the streets from today.
It's kind of like the militias you see in socialist nations or militant dictatorships when it all falls apart, the leaders are the military that has decided to revolt so there's an heir of the pirates in them.
If anyone is curious, 40 lbs of gold is almost exactly $1.1 Million. Not bad for your first score.
Ok but who tf asked you?
What happened to Henry Every and his treasure? Give your best guess below
More than likely will never be recovered, divided among many, many, many people who all likely spent it in multiple places, likely to be traded again and again. Any sizeable portions are likely hidden among large fortunes of anybody who's family has had a fortune from then to now.
Dude probably passed it down to some people or found a smart way to launder the loot without drawing suspicion from the authorities
The artwork used as the background photos to the narration. OMG! They are Beautiful!!!!
What an incredibly tragic and beautiful tale. Thank you brothers for your fantastic effort in bringing us these.
Wealth, fame, power. The world had it all won by one man: the Pirate King, Gold Roger. At his death, the words he spoke drove countless men out to sea.
My treasure? It's yours if you want it. Find it! I left all the world has there!
And so men set sights on the Grand Line, in pursuit of their dreams. The world has truly entered a Great pirate age

I love this channel so much, the quality of the story telling, the art work, it’s all amazing.
From what I've read, when pirates went up against a merchant vessel, the pirates almost always were successful in capturing the merchant vessel. Merchant crews were so horribly treated, why would they risk their lives for an oppressive employer? On the other hand, when pirates were confronted by navies, the pirates almost always lost. True, or have I been misinformed?
Not only that lot of times merchant ships weren’t capable of taking pirates as it merchant ship which was suited for different role
No it's true, because Navy ships were nearly always much better in general, better sailing profile, more guns, larger guns, Marines on board and when it came to the British Navy they had very well drilled gun crews that could put out a violently fast rate of fire with good accuracy. They were larger ships comissioned to be built with the goal of being a ship made for combat. The majority of Pirate ships were often smaller ships, many merchant ships converted to bare more guns and/or sail faster. Pirates were in the game for violently robbing lucrative targets, not for fighting Navy ships. Of course there are Pirates who did obtain larger ships and beat Navy ships or large ships like the one in this video, but the vast majority of Pirates were not these legends.
@@zakariamattu8613 Moreso they had much smaller crews than pirate or navy ships and those they had were not prepared for large boarding crews. So with minimal cannons to shoot the pirates down well before they got within range, most surrendered quickly and without a fight.
It all has to do with equipment and fighting skill. Merchant vessels lacked guns and fighting skill. Pirates had some guns and some fighting skill. Naval warships had a lot of guns and built for the purpose of fighting. They also had far better fighting skills than pirates -- they trained regularly in a disciplined way, and the sailors were trained to fight as a unit as well. That's why terrorists like al Qaeda or the Taliban can't beat the U.S. military. The individual terrorists might have great fighting skill in combat, but they don't train together to fight as a unit as much as the US military does. It's kind of like a tough barroom brawler getting in the ring with a world-class professional boxer. Which side are you gonna bet on? ...Exactly.
@@4thamendment237 This is mostly bullshit.
Merchant vessels had skilled mercenaries to protect them but faced with the large crews on a pirate ship they mostly buckled since they ultimately weren't in it for a fight to the death.
Pirate ships were largely piloted by ex-navy ship crews and were largely equally as trained as military ships. However most of them were rogue priveteers (who would have smaller faster ships), or not in ships equipped for major warfare.
So generally pirate ships were overkill for merchants and horribly underequiped to engage larger warships which due to working within the law would likely be better maintained and moreso at full armenent.
Pirates were not random jackasses who somehow pulled warships together. They largely didn't last long not because they were weaker but because they rapidly ran out of places to go.
The Taliban were incapable of fighting US forces in pitched battles because they are vastly worse trained, worse equipped and incapable of doing anything to secure against the USs famously good air power due to lacking modern MANPADS or other anti-air equipment.
This video was so well made, I often have CZcams one as background noise but I was glued to this video. Fantastic storytelling

fell in love with this channel the first video I watched, amazing work. always excited to see an upload
Exceptional work! Between the believable yet evocative art and the perfectly paced narration, you've got a gem that easily earned a sub, and perhaps a patron as well.
Where I find this piece to really stand out from the crowd in particular, is the script. To my tastes, your writing walked a tightrope, not falling into dry detail nor overly fanciful narrative. Lean into that, it's a real talent. I love some Stayuki and Dan Carlin, but I rarely find time for the latter or learn much that I can meaningfully contextualize from the former.
The maps helped me comprehend the context of the story despite its grueling pace, and while it certainly felt light on detail, the narrative flowed well enough to give me a great introduction to this person and his place in the golden age of piracy. All that makes for the best high-level biography I've seen. It seems very intentionally produced to be what it is, which is more than I can say for some of my favorite history CZcamsrs who end up with videos of very random lengths, seemingly based on their level of prior knowledge (and/or passion) on the subject.
Only critique is that nerds like me might appreciate on-screen citations of your sources. I love that you have them in the description, but it'd be great to know where to look for more information on specific events.
Thanks!
I'm very glad that you took the Pirate approach, such a massive world to discover. Keep these beautiful videos coming!

This was such a perfectly put together video. Would love to see more history videos from the Golden age of exploration and piracy!
This was a impressive & entertaining video, I was surprised when I scrolled and saw that you guys only have 451k subs. Don't get me wrong that's quite a bit but I feel this type of quality content should be more mainstream.

Just living in those days was not for the feint of heart. Life was significantly more difficult for everybody

I've been watching since your video on Dumas, and must say that this is your best yet. The music, narration, and illustrations are so incredibly evocative.
I always thought the whole "Lost Pirate Treasure" trope was just something people came up with as a fiction plot device. I guess it did actually originate somewhere after all.
I wonder how he managed to launder all that gold though
This is crazy how much of this I already knew from playing uncharted 4. I didn’t realize how much of it was real history apart from certain obvious aspects
I really enjoyed this episode keep up the great work!
Amazing content as always! Legit never disappoints
My theory is that Every sold out his crew in exchange for a new identity. His disappearance makes more sense, especially since his crew was hanged immediately after they reached Britain.
Hmmm at some point I was thinking the same however in those days he would've been double-crossed and hanged with his crew AND they would've made public his treachery. Pirates were given no quarter. Henry Every knew and he was too smart for that. He left the crew because he knew at some point they couldn't keep their drunken mouths shut.
@@ComboMuster also thinking at the same line of thought. It is possible that he sold his crew out as my initial thought or bribed with his treasury (which wouldn't be enough as they could just take it anyway) so it's possible for his expertise. Although it is also possible that he hid the treasures first but I doubt the government is lenient enough for Every to do that safely.
So it is indeed the most likely that he escaped by himself if he's smart. If the government values his skills (used him for dirty work etc), or any valuables he hid and safely made the deal, then he is with new identity.
Although it is indeed possible that the government dealt with him differently (or died along the way) even though public execution would be better for public image.
@@sixjhontongalamar979 Well it is said he held up his end in dividing the treasure fairly as agreed. My take is that he assessed what was going to happen if they all stay huddled up and get drunk as it actually happened in the end. Robbing East India co. and its allies meant no deal no pardon whatsoever. All his actions proved that he is extremely intelligent and daring so I guess he enjoyed his part of treasure til old age.
Right, probabilly he choose to divide the treasure btw his crew, then assumed another identity, he knew too well that if he had been caught the english would've hanged him, or worst, give to the Mughals as a "gift".
@@ComboMuster This is, in my mind, why they had different stories of where he said he was going. He likely knew too well that someone's lips would loosen as the screws tightened. I don't expect he ever told anyone where he truly intended to go, or what he intended to do.
This video was excellent!!! High quality and entertaining
One of the best CZcams videos I’ve seen. I keep coming back to it.
That was a more engaging pirate story than all 82 pirates of the Caribbean films
The second and third one are really good. Only good one in the series
The art of this video is absulutely amazing. Very good content guys, keep up the good work.
Loved the story and the painting were simply amazing, bravo
This is a fantastic video, would be great to hear you talk about other famous pirates of the age, eg more about Thomas Tew, Anne Bonnie, Edward Teach, Charles Vane, Mary Read, Ben Hornigold etc
I’m a student of history and I have to say - your channel has the best writing and graphics of them all. Thank you for the amazing content.
We got the same last name lol

I never heard of Henry Every before, but now I'm curious about him. Excelent documentary, mates! Greetings from Mexico!
You haven't heard of him because he escaped justice.
