51. White Slavery, Dunashad Castle

In this podcast we’re prowling the beautiful coves and bays of the Irish coast with Barberry Corsairs.On a dark night in 1631 a notorious Dutch pirate known as ‘Captain Murat’, who operated out of Morocco with the blessing of the Ottoman sultan in Istanbul, sailed ashore to Dunashad castle in Baltimore, County Cork. On this one fateful night Captain Murat and his pirates left a dark shadow of violence and slavery over the whole town. All the inhabitants, every man, woman, and child were taken aboard their pirate ships and transported to north Africa to be sold into slavery.Sign up to Neil Oliver on Patreon to get exclusive access to New Videos Every Week and to help support this podcast.https://www.patreon.com/neiloliverThe series Instagram account is – Neil Oliver Love Letter Hosted on Acast.
