Here’s Why Everyone Is Talking About A Pirate Drama That Ended In 2017

Black Sails has been described as Game of Thrones with pirates

If Black Sails kicked off in 2020 instead of 2014, it certainly would have thrown fuel on the raging fire that was TikTok’s sea shanty obsession. The reality is that this TV series aired on Starz from 2014 for four seasons, coming to a close in 2017. So why is everyone talking about it now, a decade after it began?

Black Sails is coming to Netflix very soon, triggering its fans to emerge from the woodwork and promote the show online. ‘I am SO excited for people who’ll be watching this show for the first time,’ one user wrote, with many others recommending the series to fans of Game of Thrones. With House of the Dragon still a few months away, here’s why you should tune into Black Sails this month.

New To Netflix: Black Sails

What Is Black Sails About?

Black Sails transports us back to 1715 – aka the Golden Age of Piracy. Set in New Providence, an island in the Bahamas, we meet the feared Captain Flint (Toby Stephens) who brings a new younger crew member into the fold (‘Long’ John Silver, played by Luke Arnold) as his crew continues to fight for survival and negotiate their space on the island.

Is Black Sails Based On A Book?

Black Sails was written as a prequel to Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic novel, Treasure Island (1883).

Is It Based On A True Story?

While Black Sails isn’t based on a true story, it does trace real events. The first season focuses on the hunt for the Spanish treasure galleon Urca de Lima, a real ship that sank in 1715 near Fort Pierce in Florida (where it still lies). Season two traces the fallout of Urca de Lima’s treasure being stranded in Florida, strictly guarded by Spanish soldiers while pirates prowl the shores. The subsequent third and fourth seasons then look at the war for the control of New Providence between the pirates and the British Empire – a la Pirates of the Caribbean.

Likewise, some of the characters are based on real people. Real pirates fictionalised in the show include:

Blackbeard (Ray Stevenson)

Anne Bonny (Clara Paget)

Benjamin Hornigold (Hakeem Kae-Kazim)

Jack Rackham (Toby Schmitz)

Charles Vane (Zach McGowan)

Ned Low (Tadhg Murphy)

Israel Hands (David Wilmot)

Meanwhile, Captain Woodes Rogers (Luke Roberts) – who represents the British Empire in seasons three and four – is based on a real English sea captain and slave trader, and subsequently the first Royal Governor of the Bahamas.

Was Captain Flint A Real Pirate?

Captain Flint is a fictional character who was first created by Robert Louis Stevenson in Treasure Island. He has since appeared in multiple works of fiction, including A. D. Howden Smith’s Porto Bello Gold (1924), John Drake’s Flint and Silver (2008), Pieces of Eight (2009) and Skull and Bones (2010), and J. M. Barrie’s Peter and Wendy (1904).

Where Was Black Sails Filmed?

Black Sails was filmed in Cape Town, South Africa, mainly inside at Cape Town Film Studio. Because the real city is so different today than it was in the 1700s, Nassau – the capital of the Bahamas, located on New Providence island – was built from scratch in a studio over a period of four months, as were two large water tanks to house the series’ two ships. Some scenes were filmed outside in and around Cape Town when new terrain was required, but most of the series was filmed on set.

The Cast

The cast of Black Sails is incredibly large, but key characters to know include:

Toby Stephens as James McGraw/Captain Flint

Hannah New as Eleanor Guthrie

Luke Arnold as ‘Long’ John Silver

Jessica Parker Kennedy as Max

Tom Hopper as William ���Billy Bones’ Manderly

Zach McGowan as Charles Vane

Toby Schmitz as Jack Rackham

Clara Paget as Anne Bonny

Mark Ryan as Hal Gates

Hakeem Kae-Kazim as Mr. Scott

Sean Cameron Michael as Richard Guthrie

Louise Barnes as Miranda Hamilton/Barlow

Rupert Penry-Jones as Thomas Hamilton

Luke Roberts as Woodes Rogers

Ray Stevenson as Edward Teach

David Wilmot as Israel Hands

Harriet Walter as Marion Guthrie

anatorocktail submitted this wonderful beach home in Old Portsmouth, UK.  (£3,250,000  $3.9M)  The property was originally used by Customs Officers from at least the early 1700's through to the 1970's when it was purchased by the current owner's family.

Double doors open to this very nautical entrance. Makes me want to sing sea shanties.

Elegant sitting room.

Kitchen is large, but so cozy.

The stone flooring is gorgeous, and look at how the kitchen/dining area opens up.

It reminds a little of a ship.

The home has 4 bds. & 3 baths.

Many of the rooms open to the outdoors.

This is a very special home. The owners did a great job of converting it.

This conservatory!

The outdoor spaces are so unique and beautiful.

Isn’t this fabulous?

guys who dont listen to music in 2020 when asked what kind of music they listen to: uhhh 1700s pirate sea shanties

[gaykarstaagforever]

When you find out a cool sea shanty is just a thing Stan Rogers wrote around 1976, based on a thing that didn't happen.

I'm not even mad. Most "real" sea shanties are from the 1830s or later and are just nonsense songs made up by bored drunks. Certainly pirates and sailors of the early 1700s had their own songs, but most of them were illiterate so no one wrote anything down.

Plus knowing what I do about history, I bet you 85% of them were either gratuitously racist or packed with slang and in-jokes we wouldn't get.

Good on you, Stan.

Also, note how he intentionally changes the meter between 2/4 and 3/4 time between the verses and the chorus, just to annoy everyone. No one does that when they cover this.

I respect him for doing it. But yeah no one was going to keep doing that, Stan.

While on work break I’m going to entice you all to Arthur with some fun (and stupid) Age Of Sail headcanons:

1. He hated wigs. They itched. They were hot. They were one extra thing to take care of. The flip side is that he has thick golden, strawberry blonde hair that is unruly and wavy and when shorn short, springs into curls, especially while at sea. This led him to wear his hair in a frequently brushed queue so as to prevent shaggy curls and to keep it clean.

2. Bring lithe and wiry and muscled of frame, Arthur was a little gremlin up and down the ropes. Arthur was as nimble as anything on a ship’s rigging, he was fearless as if he’d been born up there. Even into the 19th century he liked to race sailors and middies and if they won, they’d receive a week of his rum rations. Anyone who could fairly beat him would have seriously earned it.

3. Arthur is that guy that knows a metric ton of the good shanties, sea songs, drinking songs, and revenge ballads. He can and will sing while he works.

4. He knits and mends while at sea. It’s a comfort for him, especially as an introvert who can get cranky and fussy if he can’t get some “me” time on a cramped crowded ship.

5. he’s an introvert who gets cranky and fussy if he can’t get some “me” time on a cramped crowded ship.

6. He is deeply superstitious. He is also a witch. He knows damn well there are things in the world even he cannot explain, and deities below that are far older and more unknowable than any of the immortal folk on the surface.

7. He can be quite melancholic and sensitive at times, going along with his sharp and macabre wit. Other times he can be quiet and warm and surprisingly gentle, for a feral Englishman who likes stabbing things, punching things, shooting things, and setting things on fire.

8. He can also be jolly and enthusiastic when his mood is light! Arthur is generally a passionate, emotive person. He likes cheer and good food and songs—perhaps even more so for his melancholic tendencies.

9. in his default verse, he is about as physically as old as the current century if not a “year” or two older. So, he is 15-16 during the 1500s, 16-17 in the 1700s, 17-19 in the 1800s; and by 1900 he is in his early 20s. His true age, however, is about roughly 2,000 years by the year 2000 CE. I do not start him at the birth of Christ marker, but rather, his birth occurred some time before Caesar’s short spell in Britain. If anyone comes at me and says “BUT ENGLAND ITSELF WASN’T A THING UNTIL THE SAXONS!!!” Yeah well the United States wasn’t a thing until the 1790s (no I do not count Revolutionary War years as being a sovereign nation) and yet we have colonial America or Gallic France or Iberian brothers, why are the Celts and Britons any different?! Eat my shorts.

10. Arthur can be quite reckless at times, but usually with regard to himself, not others. He has a reckless and wild disregard for his own body, since—

11. —his limbs can grow back (it’s gross and painful, think Deadpool) and he can come back from the dead. Mortal wounds can heal too, but if he bleeds out faster than his body heals, he dies. He also dies instantly if he’s decapitated or shot in the head or heart or what have you.

12. The pseudo immortality is also a problem if shrapnel is stuck in him and his body heals around it. Yikes! This means that death might be a more merciful thing than forcing him to linger on forever. He’ll come back eventually, it’s fine.

13. He is a skilled with a number of ranged and melee weapons, but if he isn’t skilled with something he’ll just figure out a way to kill with it. His favorite weapons are the longbow, the crossbow, sabers, cutlasses, cannons, daggers, boarding axes, and general straight swords. Grenades for smoke and fire are also great too.

14. He has a natural defense against scurvy: Cell regeneration. However, he is still able to develop it and once it takes hold, his bodily healing will slow to that of the average human, after which the symptoms will only worsen until death.

15. He can starve to death, but it takes a while. He will die without water in 3 days though. He gets no breaks on that.

GET READY FOR A NERD RANT FROM A NERD WHO LOVES OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH

let’s talk classical music

now, the first episode this properly comes up in is episode 5 when they’re on the french ship. there’s the harpsichord that ed plays sea shanties on, very cool, the harpsichord was invented around the 1400s so totally fine right? BUT this is the upper crust. the richest of the rich. and music was seen as a social standing, so they’d want the newest possible thing to show just How rich they are. the piano was invented around 1700. so why, pray tell, is there a harpsichord instead of the very new, very fancy piano? loving it

let’s talk about episode 6. in the fuckery, the swede sings part of a beautiful aria (which unrelatedly he starts in the middle of ? sir why did you start there just start at the beginning) called “Voi che sapete”, composed by Mozart in, get this, 1786. the show was set in 1717, which means THE SWEDE HAS THIS ARIA NEARLY 70 YEARS BEFORE IT WAS ACTUALLY WRITTEN! mozart hasn’t even been BORN yet, he was born in 1756!!

this bit is related, but talks about historical badness and mutilation so feel free to skip to the end but. voi che sapete is typically sung by a mezzo soprano, which is an estrogen affected vocal fach. so either the swede is a) a countertenor, the rarest of all voice parts, b) trans but with the wrong actor (nat faxon is very clearly a testosterone affected voice using head voice), or c) the swede is castrati, aka he had such a pretty voice pre-puberty that the rich and famous took notice and said “this man’s gonna be a Star some day let’s cut off his dick” and so he was castrated and then later in life said “you know what? fuck this. i’m becoming a pirate” which is, historically, the mostly likely outcome and therefore the swede just . doesn’t have balls.

the morale of this story is that david jenkins said fu k historical accuracy be gay do crime and i 100% agree classical musician out

#our flag means death #ofmd #classical music #tv music #i’m a huge nerd #this is what happens when you watch the same show twentyish times #other people say oh ed and stede are so in love #i say the swede has no balls and here’s why #and i think both are correct and good #stede bonnet #blackbeard #ed teach #ofmd fandom

The white braid (Prologue)

In the 1700s piracy had become one of the most common solution for the poor.

Some were welcomed even by the royals due to the fame and fortune they dedicated to them ,Yet others which were most of the population,were feared & avoided, called names such as scumm & filth, cursed by them all.many of these so called scumm were welcomed by the Brotherhood.

People such as the captain of the jackdaws "Edward kenway"Along side his first mate Adewale & many more such as James Kidd , Blackbeard & Anne Bonny.

While all of them were well known, most were feared & respected. There were others who stayed hidden & kept as a secret in the brotherhood. One of them was "The White Braid".

"Her sweet voice/ Had a Sweet face

She seemed kind/ Forgiving, Giving & Fair.

Yet a siren was a better trap/ For all who were called the drunken men."

A shanty men who knew of her & survived sang.

she was known to be a lady of high house from both Italy and England. They aren't wrong, She was from a high class, but only "was" they all reminded themselves. They also were wrong about her having a sweet voice of a lady. Her voice is sweet yes, but it was more of a siren's. luring them, trapping them for a slow death .

She was also royalty, royalty of the sea. A pirate queen they would've called her ,if all men of the sea hadn't agreed to call Anne Bonny & Mary Read " James Kidd" as such after their deaths.Comrades to Edward kenway captain of the jackdaws & the Blackbeard.

She respected them all even though she was not well known among them. After all she was a hidden one. Working in the shadow to serve a brighter future away from the bloody colour of the order now Templars.

She now walked in the Halls of kings and Queens with a blade attached to her wrist in silk of grey & blue ready to kill the man she was trusted to.

However, that would've went as planned ,If only The Jackdaws Captain & The White Braid weren't too focused on each other's . Dizzying each other with bruising kisses. Forgetting blood , iron & men for once in their lives. She might have lured him & captured his attention yet she had no intention of drowning him. She only wants him to help her out of the misery that she had to carry all her life.

To wash the blood that burdens her. To pull her out of the darkness that takes the light from her.

[elxgantcaptain]

/ Classical music from the 1600s/1700s was very popular amongst the rich. For the longest time Hook was raised to learn, play and appreciate the classical tunes of his time.

On the open ocean however and amongst more common folk, folk music and shanties were the rage and this is the music that opened his eyes to how bouncing and beautiful a tune could be.

This playlist is a pretty good example of the variations of music from his time. It is very much focused on the colonies of the time though. But its the closest thing I have to an example xD

EDIT: also this one for sea shanties

#and obs theres music from bach vivialdi and Baroque style #headcanons
