Anne Bonny, Irish Pirate

Anne Bonny (1702-1782) was a beautiful red-haired Irish pirate. She married a small-time pirate named James Bonny and wound up in the Bahamas. She met John 'Calico Jack' Rackham and became his mistress. In 1720 Rackham and his crew were arrested and brought to trial in Jamaica, where they were sentenced to hang for acts of piracy. Anne Bonny and Mary Read escaped the noose when they revealed they were both pregnant. Official documents state that Read died of fever associated with childbirth. Bonny disappeared from the historical record, presumed to have lived a long life in Colonial America.
