WEBVTT
00:00:00.017 --> 00:00:05.157
What's going on, everybody, and what's going on, folks? My name is David, and I'm your
00:00:05.537 --> 00:00:10.257
legendary, legendary host of this legendary podcast, the Deconstructing Topic
00:00:10.257 --> 00:00:15.167
Podcast, where we grab a topic, and we kind of deconstruct it the way,
00:00:15.167 --> 00:00:19.468
because we talk about a little bit of everything, life, politics, history,
00:00:20.414 --> 00:00:24.447
all in between, whatever the case might be, we're talking about it,
00:00:24.447 --> 00:00:29.357
and today we got a Good little historical episode for those people out there
00:00:29.357 --> 00:00:35.177
that for some reason have always envisioned themselves being one of the greatest pirates of time.
00:00:35.557 --> 00:00:41.523
You know, it is an odd thing. I don't know where that came from, but it is what it is.
00:00:41.918 --> 00:00:45.667
But listen, I know a lot of people who have, if we know for many years,
00:00:45.667 --> 00:00:52.457
the serious Pirates of the Caribbean, the movie series, Jack Sparrow, Jack Sparrow.
00:00:53.766 --> 00:00:57.697
Trying to do my Jack Sparrow thing. I should have watched that movie before,
00:00:57.697 --> 00:01:02.107
but, you know, the movie does depict, I cannot say, you know,
00:01:02.107 --> 00:01:03.557
some characters there that day.
00:01:03.557 --> 00:01:07.017
Listen, some pirates there were known pirates.
00:01:07.017 --> 00:01:11.170
So, but today we're talking about something different, a pirate that many people
00:01:11.349 --> 00:01:15.817
and many people might not know if you're into the whole situations where,
00:01:15.817 --> 00:01:18.925
again, pirates of the Caribbean know that good stuff.
00:01:19.146 --> 00:01:22.837
Hey, listen, you just came to the right place, right spot, and we're going to
00:01:22.837 --> 00:01:27.277
take you on a little bit of the journey of pirates and all that good stuff.
00:01:27.277 --> 00:01:31.877
And keep in mind, you know, when you are listening to this podcast,
00:01:31.877 --> 00:01:36.587
you're going to learn something. I'm pretty sure, and I'm hopeful that you're
00:01:36.587 --> 00:01:37.790
going to learn, you're going to share.
00:01:38.295 --> 00:01:42.076
Feel free to comment and let me know if, you know, who's your favorite pirate,
00:01:42.076 --> 00:01:46.474
you know, from reading, from watching a movie, from whatever the case, because we do have this.
00:01:46.881 --> 00:01:53.045
But you see, today we're going to talk about a pirate from my beautiful home country of Puerto Rico.
00:01:53.411 --> 00:01:57.876
I'm just going to say his short name is, I don't know if you want to say the
00:01:57.876 --> 00:02:01.109
famous or infamous, Robert Cofresi.
00:02:07.236 --> 00:02:12.036
Let's get it and uh you know what that's a short name he does have a last,
00:02:12.596 --> 00:02:17.596
long name i think he got like 10 000 last name but i think it's oriana ramirez
00:02:17.596 --> 00:02:20.875
if i'm not mistaken and this gentleman,
00:02:21.345 --> 00:02:27.684
robert very known pirates and the most famous pirate in puerto rico as you Everybody,
00:02:28.276 --> 00:02:31.816
know we got the little Pirates of the Caribbean thing going on here. Let's go.
00:02:32.536 --> 00:02:40.183
Born in 1791 and was executed in 1825. Because sadly, a pirate's life, it's a pirate's life.
00:02:40.619 --> 00:02:44.186
And I'm just going to say is this. Because we have heard so many stories of
00:02:44.186 --> 00:02:47.080
pirates from Blackbeard, which is a world teach.
00:02:47.544 --> 00:02:51.456
Edward teach. English pirate. From a Chinese female pirate. For those people
00:02:51.456 --> 00:02:55.044
that might know, Xing Shi. Black Bart is one of those people that came out.
00:02:55.189 --> 00:02:56.791
You already know Captain Morgan.
00:02:57.105 --> 00:03:01.238
Yeah, it was not a drink. It was actually a pirate. I'm just saying, you know, from Welsh.
00:03:01.673 --> 00:03:07.838
One of the famous more female pirates from Ireland and Irish, Bonnie or Bonnie.
00:03:08.326 --> 00:03:11.786
You know, once again, alongside with Calico Jack.
00:03:12.116 --> 00:03:15.606
For those people who also might say, hey, wait a minute, that's a drink too.
00:03:15.606 --> 00:03:18.776
A lot of these pirates, actually, you got to keep in mind is this,
00:03:18.776 --> 00:03:21.550
that a lot of, you know, and I'm going to go on a limb.
00:03:22.072 --> 00:03:27.894
That rum is the most drank spirit. So a lot of these companies have actually,
00:03:27.894 --> 00:03:34.054
if you look at Captain Morgan, Calico Jack, and other assortments of good adult beverage.
00:03:34.054 --> 00:03:37.404
Because, hey, my understanding is that being a pirate and drinking goes hand
00:03:37.404 --> 00:03:41.374
to hand. Shout out to Sea of Thieves. That's why I enjoy Sea of Thieves.
00:03:41.374 --> 00:03:45.468
When I do play it, it's a video game in the Xbox, now PlayStation 5.
00:03:45.915 --> 00:03:48.014
It is a game that you play with your friends. I'll be honest,
00:03:48.014 --> 00:03:51.528
it's a little difficult to play by myself or play alone.
00:03:51.987 --> 00:03:55.324
So if you got some friends that you want to take along with and you download
00:03:55.324 --> 00:03:57.078
Sea of Thieves, beautiful game.
00:03:57.472 --> 00:04:00.044
And, you know, that's the reason why I'm doing this episode,
00:04:00.044 --> 00:04:03.794
because one of my brothers in arms, he have kind of like, OK.
00:04:04.456 --> 00:04:05.834
He did not know about this story.
00:04:05.834 --> 00:04:09.784
So shout out to him about Robert Cofresci. So let's talk a little bit because,
00:04:09.784 --> 00:04:16.114
hey, listen, I did kind of mention, you know, Calico Jack, which is John Rackman, English pirate.
00:04:16.579 --> 00:04:20.864
It's one of those situations where Jolly Roger flag, you know,
00:04:20.864 --> 00:04:22.474
and then the scores and all that.
00:04:22.474 --> 00:04:26.894
You know, every pirate that have existed or at least have people know,
00:04:26.894 --> 00:04:32.756
whether it's Henry, whether it's also William Kidd or one of the most famous Sir Francis Drake.
00:04:33.093 --> 00:04:36.874
The fact that a lot of these pirates in the modern world, I always been talking
00:04:36.874 --> 00:04:39.020
about because they are good stories, crazy stories.
00:04:39.810 --> 00:04:43.578
Because you've got to keep money in the Caribbean, which consists of many,
00:04:43.758 --> 00:04:45.232
many countries, many islands,
00:04:45.679 --> 00:04:48.727
you know, from my island, my beautiful country of Puerto Rico,
00:04:49.133 --> 00:04:52.587
to the Espanol, which is, you know, Dominican Republic and Haiti,
00:04:52.587 --> 00:04:55.137
Cuba, Jamaica, and so on and so forth.
00:04:55.137 --> 00:05:00.029
Trust me, that just area is just full of wealth when it comes to pirates.
00:05:00.406 --> 00:05:06.447
Cofresi, Robert Cofresi, from 1725, is very notorious for aliens and fighting
00:05:06.447 --> 00:05:08.757
the English, the French, doing that.
00:05:09.245 --> 00:05:14.487
And one of the things that why Coral Cofresi has been known is because a lot
00:05:14.487 --> 00:05:17.307
of people have kind of said you know he's somewhat of a
00:05:17.707 --> 00:05:22.817
Robin Hood you know story and if you look at the kind of you know pirate version
00:05:22.817 --> 00:05:27.067
of Robin Hood if those people out there that know Robin Hood is a story that
00:05:27.067 --> 00:05:30.917
is based on you know a selection of things that they just made a character called
00:05:30.917 --> 00:05:32.487
Robin Hood is that basically
00:05:32.827 --> 00:05:37.377
you got this person with tremendous skills tremendous talent the world means
00:05:37.377 --> 00:05:40.585
and he happened to just be like stealing from the rich,
00:05:41.061 --> 00:05:46.424
to get back to the poor so you can see that this pirate purse or the pirate version and.
00:05:47.434 --> 00:05:51.374
So, well, imagine, I'm over here like, damn, what does that mean?
00:05:51.374 --> 00:05:54.614
So keep a modest, too. He was stealing from the navies, you know,
00:05:54.614 --> 00:05:56.264
Spanish, French, America.
00:05:56.264 --> 00:06:00.474
We're talking about 1760s and so on and so forth.
00:06:00.474 --> 00:06:03.274
So you got to keep, and I apologize for that.
00:06:03.274 --> 00:06:07.754
He would be talking about a little bit later on in that. In the 1800s and so
00:06:07.754 --> 00:06:11.674
on and so forth, you know, we live in a dynamic because America was not the
00:06:11.674 --> 00:06:13.234
America that we have known now.
00:06:13.234 --> 00:06:17.164
You know, the powers that be at that time was the French, the Spain,
00:06:17.164 --> 00:06:19.143
especially Spain with the Armada.
00:06:19.492 --> 00:06:24.074
So, Cofresi and this person, it's not only traveled to Puerto Rico,
00:06:24.074 --> 00:06:26.224
but traveled to Dominican Republic.
00:06:26.224 --> 00:06:30.594
But the fact is that, you know, he made his thing going on. He made his thing.
00:06:30.594 --> 00:06:35.243
And sadly, he died at a young age. And my understanding is that he did have a daughter.
00:06:35.643 --> 00:06:39.554
And there is some type of lineage in Puerto Rico, in Cabojo.
00:06:39.894 --> 00:06:44.450
So, this, you know, kind of Robin Hood tale. And people, you know,
00:06:44.943 --> 00:06:47.851
it's interesting because he is one that was very targeted.
00:06:48.448 --> 00:06:52.550
Especially with the United States, Spain, and, you know, some of these European
00:06:52.550 --> 00:06:55.150
countries, the French, the English, and so on and so forth.
00:06:55.150 --> 00:06:59.230
And because I like to think that because he came from Puerto Rico,
00:06:59.230 --> 00:07:04.320
he's in Puerto Rico, it was a little bit different because you could do that in and out, in and out.
00:07:04.320 --> 00:07:08.000
My understanding is that he had a small fleet, you know. He had the sloop,
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:11.790
the sloop, it's basically two or three or four people, you know.
00:07:12.185 --> 00:07:15.370
He's not with the big ships, you know, these known pirate ship,
00:07:15.370 --> 00:07:19.650
you know, the perv you know in pirates of the caribbean people know that it
00:07:19.650 --> 00:07:23.150
got like 10 000 cannons they probably had like two or three cannons they're
00:07:23.150 --> 00:07:25.100
best around probably less i don't know,
00:07:25.622 --> 00:07:29.480
but the fact that a slew is able to maneuver a little bit faster you know a
00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:31.340
little bit quicker and it's able to
00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:35.560
you know wait listen let's just throw a little rope here just to do do do just
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:39.710
grab something and just be out give my sometimes he did that kind of ninja type
00:07:39.710 --> 00:07:44.240
of thing because hey, listen, if you are in the high seas and you're a pirate, you know, my.
00:07:45.200 --> 00:07:49.670
Imagination is that when you're in a big ship, and this have happened,
00:07:49.670 --> 00:07:53.880
you know, in current times when it comes to Somalian, you know, pirates,
00:07:54.420 --> 00:07:57.730
to all, you know, respect to the situation that occurred at that time.
00:07:57.730 --> 00:07:59.738
But hey, listen, you call it what it is.
00:08:00.324 --> 00:08:04.360
You got a little boat with, you know, 10 Somalian pirates that could just overrun
00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:08.160
a big ship because, hey, listen, you just don't know what's out there and you
00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:10.744
cannot see what's small. So it was easier for them.
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:15.140
Roberto Cofresi to just kind of like, you know, stealing, you know,
00:08:15.140 --> 00:08:16.160
stealing from the Spanish,
00:08:16.640 --> 00:08:20.040
you know, the French and all that and other European countries,
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:23.370
you know, the Dutch and all that, you know, sadly, it's kind of like,
00:08:23.370 --> 00:08:26.281
all right, everybody kind of like decided, I mean, we're talking about,
00:08:26.728 --> 00:08:28.570
you know, obviously there was no internet back then.
00:08:28.570 --> 00:08:32.445
If there was internet, I think Cofresi would have been caught real quick. Maybe not.
00:08:33.127 --> 00:08:35.590
You know, he was a little bit swifty. But the fact is this, that,
00:08:35.590 --> 00:08:39.400
you know, United States and all that, and United States Navy was It's not as,
00:08:39.400 --> 00:08:41.820
you know, my understanding, that's a good story. Hear me out.
00:08:41.820 --> 00:08:45.360
My understanding, the United States actually hired a lot of these,
00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:46.583
what they call privateers.
00:08:46.688 --> 00:08:51.590
Because the Navy, the United States Navy was not, you know, United States is
00:08:51.590 --> 00:08:57.020
a young country. I mean, really, you know, we just got out of our independence and so on.
00:08:57.920 --> 00:09:03.313
And in reality, we just, America is just America at this point in this era.
00:09:03.470 --> 00:09:08.530
And so it's one of those situations that is basically like, okay, we need help.
00:09:08.530 --> 00:09:12.020
Everybody's kind of like hitting up each other, like sending birds,
00:09:12.020 --> 00:09:16.537
like, hey, let's unite because we need to end these pirates,
00:09:16.955 --> 00:09:19.510
you know, not just Confessy, but the other pirates as well.
00:09:19.510 --> 00:09:24.895
Interesting story. And I do recall somebody saying that Haiti at one point,
00:09:25.243 --> 00:09:29.120
the country of Haiti that we know of, that we kind of like struggling at one
00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:33.470
point was perhaps if not one of the richest countries in the world.
00:09:33.470 --> 00:09:39.160
And due part to that is that there were a lot of pirates that were stationed in Haiti.
00:09:39.160 --> 00:09:44.330
You know, obviously, you know, whatever was going on, whatever was going on, was going on.
00:09:44.330 --> 00:09:48.530
And it's definitely an interesting story. And, you know, I'll talk spaces with
00:09:48.530 --> 00:09:52.040
the, there was an earthquake. I think it was Port Royale or something to that
00:09:52.040 --> 00:09:55.690
effect. You know, this is where everybody was kind of like stationed in and
00:09:55.690 --> 00:09:59.022
all these pirates were just landing. This is all whatever it is.
00:09:59.324 --> 00:10:01.640
But the fact that, you know, some, you know, some of these countries,
00:10:01.815 --> 00:10:03.498
they decided to be like, okay,
00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:08.414
Kofresi, we need to catch you. And Kofresi, you know, he's one,
00:10:08.414 --> 00:10:11.184
and my understanding is that him and his crew.
00:10:11.744 --> 00:10:16.804
You know, small, small crew, that is basically one of those things where,
00:10:17.104 --> 00:10:20.354
you know, they decided that, you know, what's better speed over firepower?
00:10:20.354 --> 00:10:23.974
You know, that's a type of deal. He was one to avoid the, you know,
00:10:23.974 --> 00:10:28.050
the direct artillery battles. I mean, you know, imagine you were in a sloop, again, a sloop.
00:10:28.410 --> 00:10:33.924
A sloop, it's one of the smaller vessels. You got a brinkanthine. You got the big one.
00:10:34.395 --> 00:10:37.604
I forgot what's the name of that. I was playing Pirates of the Caribbean the other day.
00:10:37.604 --> 00:10:40.904
But the fact is the Sloop. The Sloop Anist, one of his vessels,
00:10:40.904 --> 00:10:43.914
they call it, how can I say, cannons. They had more than two.
00:10:43.914 --> 00:10:47.394
Obviously, I believe it was like five or six, you know, from the little research
00:10:47.394 --> 00:10:51.204
that I did. But you could only do so much when it comes to Cofresi.
00:10:51.524 --> 00:10:54.924
And, you know, being that he was this dude, you know, and the world just got
00:10:54.924 --> 00:10:58.154
around that, you know, despite that, some of the locals in Puerto Rico.
00:10:58.154 --> 00:11:01.184
And even in my understanding, and there might be some people,
00:11:01.184 --> 00:11:04.154
even locals that might have prep and pop in Dominican Republic,
00:11:04.154 --> 00:11:05.550
but it was mostly Puerto Rico.
00:11:05.852 --> 00:11:09.394
I was trying to dig in if there was a connection. Again, you're in the Caribbean.
00:11:09.394 --> 00:11:13.394
It's, it's the Caribbean is an interesting place because there's so many islands,
00:11:13.394 --> 00:11:16.274
so many countries and, you know, whatever you maneuver, you're going to come
00:11:16.274 --> 00:11:18.634
across the country. You're going to come across something. But,
00:11:18.634 --> 00:11:22.298
you know, people kind of say, Hey, listen, as much as this person has a.
00:11:22.814 --> 00:11:27.134
Reputation somebody be like you know what this is a son of a gun and he's not
00:11:27.134 --> 00:11:31.914
to be trusted when i was doing my research you know they supposedly he saw himself
00:11:31.914 --> 00:11:36.978
to the devil get some extra superpowers okay what does that mean caprese perhaps
00:11:37.280 --> 00:11:41.158
it sounds to me like it's not only just a robber story sounds like to me it's a,
00:11:41.634 --> 00:11:45.864
pirate version of david took a life where this little small thing is doing their
00:11:45.864 --> 00:11:50.324
thing thing you know and when the spanish kind of like hey hey hey like And
00:11:50.324 --> 00:11:55.513
we're talking about this time that Puerto Rico is under the colony of Spain. Keep that in mind.
00:11:55.664 --> 00:12:00.304
That basically anywhere he's going to land, and landing even on his shore,
00:12:00.304 --> 00:12:04.824
on his home country that he was born, the fact is that he is in the Spanish
00:12:04.824 --> 00:12:08.551
territory, the colony, you know, Puerto Rico colony of Spain.
00:12:09.027 --> 00:12:12.097
So basically, you know, the word spread real quick.
00:12:12.213 --> 00:12:15.064
I could only imagine if he was in a bigger place. And this was,
00:12:15.384 --> 00:12:19.764
I guess, where I mentioned a little bit early that he being in Puerto Rico helped,
00:12:19.764 --> 00:12:23.524
but then it didn't because there's only so much space, so much land,
00:12:23.524 --> 00:12:24.684
so much that you want to do.
00:12:25.064 --> 00:12:28.519
Cofresi might have escaped to Dominican Republic or even Cuba.
00:12:28.961 --> 00:12:33.824
Now, trying to think if at this time, Dominican Republic, I believe it was not independent.
00:12:33.824 --> 00:12:37.254
There was stuff going on, you know, between Dominican Republic and Haiti.
00:12:37.254 --> 00:12:42.004
Cuba, you know, would have been an ideal place. Even Dan Kuo at that time was
00:12:42.004 --> 00:12:46.124
under the Spanish, you know, colony or the Spanish, you know,
00:12:46.464 --> 00:12:50.425
power, whatever it is. So wherever he was going, but I'm just thinking here.
00:12:50.955 --> 00:12:55.016
That perhaps if he would have been in another land, that maybe he would have
00:12:55.016 --> 00:13:00.724
more territory to be kind of not caught. And where he was captured, lo and behold.
00:13:01.003 --> 00:13:03.795
It's funny because I am from, you know, I was born in Puerto Rico.
00:13:03.964 --> 00:13:09.026
And it's a casual kind of fort. Or it is a fort. You know, it no longer is. It's called El Morro.
00:13:09.403 --> 00:13:12.596
El Morro, I've been, you know, there so many times, even as a young kid.
00:13:12.596 --> 00:13:17.106
And by the fact that me as a kid didn't know the story of Robert Cofrenzi,
00:13:17.106 --> 00:13:20.986
I've learned about the pirate growing up. And I'm like, whoa,
00:13:20.986 --> 00:13:26.084
wait a minute. And the fact that, you know, he got caught and he was executed there, firing squad.
00:13:26.322 --> 00:13:29.782
There's a story that he kind of said, you know what? Go ahead.
00:13:29.898 --> 00:13:33.646
Whatever. Don't blindfold me. You know, I've done my own thing.
00:13:33.646 --> 00:13:36.278
I took a couple of people.
00:13:36.892 --> 00:13:40.314
Hey, why not? I got you. Do your thing. Go ahead. Fire. Boom.
00:13:40.314 --> 00:13:43.429
So we don't know where conference he's at. At the moment, we don't know his body.
00:13:43.707 --> 00:13:48.074
It's always kind of a little bit rumor or a corner, like a folklore that he's
00:13:48.074 --> 00:13:51.304
in Santa Maria cemetery in San Juan.
00:13:51.604 --> 00:13:55.104
A cemetery. I mean, one, a lot of people pass by there, but because it is a
00:13:55.104 --> 00:14:00.744
cemetery, people like to either expect, because you can go there and not be that tourist.
00:14:01.304 --> 00:14:06.624
If I'm not mistaken, I believe it's just that, you know, they're no longer burying people there.
00:14:06.624 --> 00:14:11.114
But there was just no, you know, cemetery at that time. But because it was a
00:14:11.114 --> 00:14:15.574
Catholic cemetery and this is a person that did, you know, these crimes that
00:14:15.574 --> 00:14:19.523
they, you know, well, kind of put them somewhere, somewhere else.
00:14:19.929 --> 00:14:25.664
And that's where, for those Cofresi intuices out there that want to know,
00:14:25.664 --> 00:14:30.554
that it's somewhere around there, you know, somewhere in San Juan.
00:14:30.554 --> 00:14:32.984
But we don't know. But we don't know. He could be all over the island.
00:14:33.104 --> 00:14:36.171
He could be in another island. We don't know. He could be under the sea.
00:14:36.415 --> 00:14:42.644
Under the sea who knows but there is a statue of uh in cabo rojo because my understanding,
00:14:43.103 --> 00:14:47.684
cabo rojo in puerto rico is that the fact is that he still have lineage there
00:14:47.684 --> 00:14:51.814
now here's the interesting story some people say that because he did kind of
00:14:51.814 --> 00:14:55.438
sew himself to the devil that his soul is still somewhere haunting,
00:14:55.995 --> 00:15:00.354
people you know and one of the the ones that they're talking about because my
00:15:00.354 --> 00:15:04.604
understanding that supposedly he had hidden treasure and it would be like uh
00:15:04.604 --> 00:15:08.964
la isla de la Mona on one island off Puerto Rico that mean he might have hidden
00:15:09.384 --> 00:15:14.547
treasure there now I try to stay away from certain information here but just the fact that hey listen,
00:15:15.035 --> 00:15:19.294
some people have said hey that they just felt like hey I saw something and sing
00:15:19.294 --> 00:15:23.004
it you know Spanish hymns at that time and you know some people feel like hey
00:15:23.004 --> 00:15:27.274
that that's that's that guy that's that him that's him and you know there are
00:15:27.274 --> 00:15:29.886
people out there that do have how can I say.
00:15:30.589 --> 00:15:35.181
There's interest and perhaps now they used to look for some of his hidden treasure
00:15:35.471 --> 00:15:39.464
because there's not really much information out there one again build some of
00:15:39.464 --> 00:15:41.769
these folklore are done by uh.
00:15:43.070 --> 00:15:47.494
How can i say kind of word word of mouth if you put it a rate of stories so
00:15:47.494 --> 00:15:54.076
it's a situation where if you look at the cofresi is that if you might not pinpoint something
00:15:54.465 --> 00:15:58.004
and i hope that this is like a not a situation of oak island i i for some reason
00:15:58.004 --> 00:16:01.895
i used to watch that show i am i know the story of Oak Island for those people out there.
00:16:02.336 --> 00:16:05.944
It's an island with a hidden treasure, but it's like, oh, somebody found something.
00:16:05.944 --> 00:16:09.374
It's like saying, oh, somebody found a quarter. Now let's go and find two quarters.
00:16:09.374 --> 00:16:12.664
Get off. Or something to that effect. You know, like somebody found gold.
00:16:12.664 --> 00:16:16.076
They found a nugget of gold. That means they got to be a fortress of gold.
00:16:16.186 --> 00:16:20.794
So we don't know about that, the situation in regards to where the hidden treasure wants to say that.
00:16:20.794 --> 00:16:25.284
I'm hoping that maybe they could make a movie or show, maybe perhaps something out there.
00:16:25.284 --> 00:16:30.324
I, I, me personally, I try to avoid to watch some documentaries or things to
00:16:30.324 --> 00:16:34.834
that effect, because, you know, again, and I'm just picking a couple of things
00:16:34.834 --> 00:16:38.704
from different sources so that I could just bring it together.
00:16:38.704 --> 00:16:44.354
And in the fact, if one probably wants to do something and find out on your own, if you're into.
00:16:44.834 --> 00:16:48.254
Hunting stories or anything like that, or Red Book of Fresi,
00:16:48.538 --> 00:16:54.054
you could go to Cabo Rojo or Isla Mona, or do some research on your own and all that good stuff.
00:16:54.054 --> 00:16:57.944
Again, for those people out there, hit the like button, share all that good
00:16:57.944 --> 00:17:03.112
stuff that if you did not know this story, hey, listen, hit that like button, wherever you at.
00:17:03.414 --> 00:17:07.002
It's a definitely interesting story because, again, me coming from Puerto Rico,
00:17:07.408 --> 00:17:12.725
I might be at least have a little bit more knowledge of the pirate in itself.
00:17:13.196 --> 00:17:19.245
But once, like, again, I was living in Puerto Rico, I would take a lot that.
00:17:19.739 --> 00:17:23.864
Scholars and the historians would know but i would also take that these are
00:17:23.864 --> 00:17:27.596
one of those stories even in a small island of puerto rico they kind of stay uh.
00:17:28.182 --> 00:17:32.590
Like a regional kind of type of story. So that's why it's not known like that.
00:17:32.590 --> 00:17:38.510
So we cannot keep it as is or whatever, but definitely an interesting, interesting story.
00:17:38.510 --> 00:17:41.840
And one that I could probably, you know, take a little bit pride because,
00:17:41.840 --> 00:17:46.757
hey, listen, sometimes these, Puerto Rico got stories just like any other bigger
00:17:46.914 --> 00:17:50.740
country, just like England has their pirates, just like these people got their
00:17:50.740 --> 00:17:53.347
pirates because at the end of the day, guess what?
00:17:53.962 --> 00:17:58.224
You know, one of the biggest blockbuster movie series is Pirates of the Caribbean.
00:17:58.716 --> 00:18:03.220
I say, why not? Let's add flavor to that and let's add some Caribbeans,
00:18:03.220 --> 00:18:07.422
some real Caribbeans into the story. But anyways, we already know.
00:18:07.869 --> 00:18:12.320
Hit up the kid. Feel free to, you know, reach out to me any given time.
00:18:12.320 --> 00:18:17.400
I'm over here doing my thing, talking about wonderful stories and I'm out of
00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:19.968
here. Much love. Peace. I'm out.
