Henry Every

It's 300 years old.

I was a member of Captain Henry Avery's crew.

You know who that is? He was a pirate.

The pirate who pulled out the biggest heist in history and got away with it.

It's well made.

It's hollow.

Why would one of Avery's men go through the trouble of hiding a cheap crucifix? It's not a crucifix.

Technically, a crucifix is a representation of Jesus.

I think most of us have heard of Blackbeard and pirates like that.

Henry Every was apparently another, one of the most famous pirates that has ever lived.

But he takes the Genji Sawah in 1695.

That's my next story because we're talking about expensive loads that got stolen in one shot.

So in 1694, Henry Every is the first mate on an English ship called Charles II.

He leads a mutiny.

The crew takes the ship, renames it the Fancy, and elects Every as captain.

Right.

to portray.

There's also Grace O'Malley, the 16th century Irish chieftain, who reportedly met Elizabeth I face to face, Henry Every, the subject of what is often called the first worldwide manhunt, who then simply vanished.

And for everyone at home, again, drop your vote in the comments.

Plank, map, or the lawless pirate? And if there's a myth you want us to take apart next, tell us that too.

But these aren't the only pirate stories he would have been familiar with.

There were also very exciting, swashbuckling tales of real pirates like Henry Avery, who was actually an Irish sailor turned pirate.

And he did that when he and his shipmates were left high and dry by a treacherous investor and were looking at a life of either forced labor or imprisonment.

So rather than accept the unfair hand that had been dealt them, Henry Avery led his fellow shipmates in seizing another ship and making their way out of the harbor, thus embarking on a life of piracy.

They were now outlaws.

They were their own bosses.

And apparently, after capturing many other ships, including one of them that had an Indian princess on board, they became fabulously rich.

and later managed to retire and slip back into society anonymously to live off their wealth.

WX Shira, "I'm a man of fortune and I must seek my fortune," Henry Avery.

That's from "Uncharted 4." That, that's a fucking gamer right there.

Somebody said-

Sean and his team have created a documentary of their work.

Here's a moment when they discover a ship that just might have belonged to the pirate Henry Avery, a ship known as the Fancy.

Sean goes over to investigate further.

He starts hand fanning and looking and soon I see him wave me over and now he's uncovering wooden planks.

But, you know, really, there's still a lot to do to try and pinpoint whether this is the final resting place of the most iconic pirate shipwreck in time.

I have to admit, Blackbeard's the only one in that group that you mentioned that I have any familiarity with.

Can you tell us more about Henry Avery?

Henry Avery was a sea dog in 1696.

Blackbeard was a better pirate.

Henry Avery was a better pirate.

But he has a notoriety because of being a political scapegoat.

So, Pat, this document here basically is a flyer that was talking about the hanging of Captain Kidd? Exactly, Scott.
