Ching Shih - Von der Prostituierten zur Mächtigen Piratin | Doku

From prostitute to the world's most powerful pirate – that's the story of Ching Shih. A Chinese woman from a poor background who, through luck and skill, became the commander of a vast fleet of ships in the early 19th century and posed a great threat even to the Emperor of China. Anyone interested in famous pirates like Blackbeard or Sir Henry Morgan should definitely have heard of Ching Shih (also known as Madame Ching). This video takes you through the exciting life of Ching Shih, whom you may also know from the "Pirates of the Caribbean" film trilogy. It all began when she was just 13 years old and had to work for her family as a prostitute on a "flower boat" off the Cantonese coast until one day a famous pirate fell in love with the beauty. Madame Ching and her husband then led the Red Flag Fleet to immense fame. And the term “Pirate Code” took on a whole new meaning under her.
