1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:02,580
Armed with a metal detector,
2
00:00:02,710 --> 00:00:08,830
treasure hunter Jim Bailey hunts for hidden pieces of history, one step at a time.
3
00:00:10,830 --> 00:00:13,710
And in May of 2014,
4
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,920
he makes a remarkable discovery.
5
00:00:17,080 --> 00:00:21,330
He finds a peculiar object in the ground
6
00:00:21,500 --> 00:00:23,670
that seems to have no business
7
00:00:23,830 --> 00:00:27,290
being in a strawberry orchard in New England.
8
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:30,750
In 2014,
9
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,330
I recovered a-a very odd,
10
00:00:33,500 --> 00:00:35,080
uh, silver coin.
11
00:00:35,210 --> 00:00:39,460
I saw this-this bold, clear, crisp Arabic script
12
00:00:39,630 --> 00:00:40,880
on the coin,
13
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,830
and I was amazed.
14
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,250
It turned out to be a 17th century coin,
15
00:00:47,420 --> 00:00:51,670
and the coin predates direct trade
16
00:00:51,790 --> 00:00:55,830
between the American colonies and the Red Sea,
17
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,000
the East Indies by over a century.
18
00:00:59,170 --> 00:01:02,540
So, I knew the coin could've not come through trade.
19
00:01:03,540 --> 00:01:05,580
Just how did such an exotic coin
20
00:01:05,750 --> 00:01:08,710
make its way to a small town in New England?
21
00:01:09,750 --> 00:01:12,250
Jim Bailey believes the silver piece he found
22
00:01:12,420 --> 00:01:14,580
is connected to one of the most dangerous
23
00:01:14,790 --> 00:01:17,460
and wily seafarers in maritime history,
24
00:01:17,630 --> 00:01:21,130
an English captain named Henry Avery,
25
00:01:21,250 --> 00:01:23,540
whose exploits in the Indian Ocean
26
00:01:23,710 --> 00:01:27,920
earned him the nickname "The King of Pirates."
27
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,880
Captain Avery's legendary status can be traced back to 1695
28
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,380
and a bloody heist heard around the world.
29
00:01:38,380 --> 00:01:40,830
Henry Avery sails north in the Indian Ocean
30
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:42,670
to the Strait of Aden,
31
00:01:42,830 --> 00:01:46,460
which is part of the long-established pilgrim route
32
00:01:46,580 --> 00:01:49,330
for Muslims from India traveling to Mecca.
33
00:01:49,540 --> 00:01:52,210
And this is an extremely valuable trade route.
34
00:01:52,380 --> 00:01:55,380
The ships traveling from Western India to Mecca and back
35
00:01:55,540 --> 00:01:58,790
are carrying passengers of all kinds of social ranks
36
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,540
and lots of wealth.
37
00:02:00,750 --> 00:02:04,330
So Henry Avery goes looking for the pilgrim fleet
38
00:02:04,500 --> 00:02:06,830
sailing from Mecca to Western India,
39
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,790
known as the Mughal fleet.
40
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,380
The Mughal fleet was owned by the Mughal dynasty,
41
00:02:13,540 --> 00:02:15,210
a powerful and wealthy empire
42
00:02:15,420 --> 00:02:18,170
that ruled large portions of India
43
00:02:18,380 --> 00:02:21,670
from the 16th to the 18th century.
44
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,420
Along with carrying pilgrims to and from Mecca,
45
00:02:25,580 --> 00:02:28,380
this armada contained treasure ships
46
00:02:28,540 --> 00:02:31,420
owned by the Grand Mughal of India himself.
47
00:02:32,380 --> 00:02:35,330
And the crown jewel of this royal fleet
48
00:02:35,420 --> 00:02:38,290
was a ship named the Ganj-i-Sawai.
49
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,290
So, Avery and his confederates pursue that ship,
50
00:02:42,460 --> 00:02:44,830
and they find it.
51
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,000
A cannon explodes.
52
00:02:48,210 --> 00:02:50,170
The mast is hit and collapses.
53
00:02:50,380 --> 00:02:52,130
And so, Henry Avery and his fellows
54
00:02:52,290 --> 00:02:53,580
sweep aboard the ship
55
00:02:53,750 --> 00:02:57,130
and spend days plundering, torturing,
56
00:02:57,290 --> 00:02:59,830
doing all kinds of horrible things to the crew
57
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,330
and the passengers.
58
00:03:01,540 --> 00:03:03,290
And the cargo they have seized
59
00:03:03,460 --> 00:03:05,540
is one of the most valuable
60
00:03:05,710 --> 00:03:07,750
crossing the Indian Ocean at that time.
61
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:10,500
And so, Henry Avery became known
62
00:03:10,580 --> 00:03:12,960
as the King of the Pirates, as a figure who appears
63
00:03:13,170 --> 00:03:16,580
in ballads and plays and in books that appear
64
00:03:16,750 --> 00:03:19,420
very, very quickly after his capture of the Ganj-i-Sawai.
