That sea-witch business escalated quickly.

I am a Cape Cod native, so I know the whole story of Black Sam. I have seen his treasure, even touched it, firsthand. Thanks for making my day by doing this.

I've been to the museum where they have the artifacts recovered from his wreck preserved! It's really quite fascinating, I got to see the bell up close and all the personal items on display. It was once in Wellfleet, but it is now in Hyannis, Massachusetts, for any who are curious.

I think that Maria Hallett deserves her own episode.

As The History Guy says, "Don't all good stories involve pirates?"

I have a copy of "The Pirate's who's who." Highly recommend for anyone interested in the topic.
How about Capt.Eric"Winkle"Brown RN. as a future episode. Flew more different military aircraft types than anyone has or ever will. He was present at the Nurenberg rallies and after the war interogated Nazi war criminals before their trials. And way more.

I really like your channels and how they've morphed from 1 to many. You do a great job, I watch these with my 11 year old son and he's quickly becoming an astute historian. Thank you for the work you do
