When thinking about famous pirates who comes to mind? You might think about some of the fictional pirates such as Long John Silver, Captain Hook and Captain Jack Sparrow. Or indeed, some real pirates such as Blackbeard, Calico Jack and Captain Kidd. When it comes to female pirates, it's a different matter.

Sail Or Costume

First of all, although there were female pirates, they were very few in number. Why was this? It was mainly because women were forbidden to sail on pirate ships, probably because of the fear that they would cause a riot amongst the men. Also, we mustn't forget that life for a pirate was extremely harsh. It wasn't holiday cruise and most women wouldn't be able to stand it.

However, two lady pirates who did make a name for themselves on the high seas were Anne Bonny and Mary Read. Anne Bonny was born Anne Cormac in Cork, Ireland around 1697 to a lawyer father and his servant. When the affair was found out he left with Anne and the servant and fled to South Carolina. Even though her father became a wealthy plantation owner, Anne had a fiery temper and a taste for adventure and married a pirate called James Bonny. She eventually met Jack Rackham, famously known as Calico Jack and they soon fell in love. She left her husband and joined Calico Jack and started a life as a pirate, mainly in the Caribbean. While on board she dressed as a man and she was said to be as good at stealing and fighting as the rest of the crew. It was during this time that she met another sailor who turned out to be an English woman, Mary Read.

Mary Read, like Anne Bonny was a child of an affair and her mother dressed Mary up as a boy in order to receive money from her family. In fact, Mary spent most of her life dressed as a boy, serving as a footboy to a wealthy family and then on board a warship. She did marry and act as a woman for a while, but when her husband died she went back to sea and her ship was captured by Calico Jack. This is when she became friends with Anne Bonny.

So, if you have set your heart on following in Anne and Mary's footsteps, then wear a lady pirate costume this Halloween or indeed any fancy dress party. Dressing as a man may not be your thing, but I can tell you that there are some pretty sexy and ravishing costumes for women. For example, my favorite is the Royal Lady Pirate Costume with its dress which looks like a waistcoat and short skirt and matching pirate hat. Just add a pair of long black boots and a sword and you'll be ready to send the men to pirate heaven!
