Avast Landlubbers,
Tis the year 1720 and the Governer of Jamaica has heard of a pirate ship "Revenge" is in these waters captained by none other than that dispicable scum called Calico Jack , so he has sent a government ship to capture them .......should be an easy prize as these pirates like nothing more than to drink .....
The deed is done with not too much fight from the pirates , most are now on their way to the dark dungeons in irons awaiting a "fair" trial and a soiree with the hangman and a dance with the devil
....but we have had a somewhat surprise for amongst the prisoners was a woman full of feminine charm , dressed in men's clothing who fought harder with cutlass and pistol than most of the male crew ...the name of this "lady" ANNE BONNY
.....a favourite with the men no doubt on long hard sea voyages.....
...this is a fact as she pleads she is with child to avoid a visit to the hangman no doubt ..but the law must be seen and Dr James has confirmed that she is indeed in this condition..so we must wait till the child is born ...she has already had several stays of execution but it will be done mark my word ......
.....we now hear that she now that her father has forgiven her and she will be sent back to him after he accepted her back into his family ....it is thought she will not meet the devil on the drop ....
Anne was captured also alongside another female ...known as Mary Read who also pleaded that she was pregnant , she was destined for the drop but escaped by dying of fever in the squalor of the jail.
So there you have it Guys ...Anne Bonny , no one has any actual idea what she looked like perhaps she was a beauty perhaps not , contemporary pictures/etching show her to be not so but whatever you believe Anne was a fearsome pirate in a mans world , a dab hand with the trade she plied , often in boarding party's.
Born in County Cork in Ireland as a result of a event between her attorney father and a serving maid , he fled to the Carolinas where he prospered , Anne married a pirate called James Bonny and she was disowned , they went to the Bahamas where she caught the eye of Calico Jack Rackham ...he offered to buy her from her husband but was returned to him.....
This and a fiery temper resulted in her and Calico slipping out of port and her life of piracy had began.
After her capture is is thought she went back to her father and lived the rest of her days in the Carolinas , her actual death is not accurately recorded but either way she did not "dance with the devil".
This is the chosen subject of a recent release from Nutsplanet ...ladies and gentleman I present :
Pirates are a subject full of interesting characters and tales of horror and many meeting their final end on a gibbet , often with short but profitable lives.
Books abound of course all make interesting reading here are a few:
