Voir la traduction automatique
Mary Read (1685 - 1721) was an English pirate. In male disguise, she joined the British military. In 1720 she joined pirate John "Calico Jack" Rackham. Anne Bonny (1702 - 1782) was an Irish red-haired beauty who married a poor sailor named James Bonny and wound up in the Bahamas. She met Calico Jack and became his mistress. In 1720 Rackham and his crew were arrested and hung for acts of piracy. The women escaped the noose when they revealed they were both pregnant. Read died in prison in 1721. Bonny disappeared from the historical record, presumed to have lived a long life in Colonial America.
