The Nossa Senhora do Cabo may have been the biggest pirate ship ever to sail during the Golden Age of Piracy. Originally built as a massive Dutch ship of the line capable of carrying 72 guns, she was later sold to Portugal, loaded with an extraordinary fortune, crippled by a storm, and captured by pirates Olivier Levasseur and John Taylor. They didn’t just steal the treasure. They stole the entire ship and transformed it into one of the most formidable pirate vessels in history.
In this episode of HISTORSEA, we uncover the incredible true story of Nossa Senhora do Cabo, compare her with famous pirate ships like Blackbeard’s Queen Anne’s Revenge, investigate one of the richest pirate captures ever recorded, and follow the mystery all the way to Madagascar, where archaeologists now believe they may have discovered her long-lost wreck more than 300 years later.
