Not many people know that there were in fact female pirates. Two of the more famous were Mary Reade and Ann Bonny who sailed with captain Jack Rackham, otherwise known as calico jack because of his penchant for being a dandy and wearing the rare and expensive calico clothing. Calico was imported from India and so a very expensive thing to get a hold of in the far west.
By all accounts it seems that the three pirates had something of a Sex and business partnership going between them. Apparently neither girl minded sharing captain jacks cock nor their pussy with each other. For several years they were among the most affluent and successful pirates in the Caribbean until they came to grief amid much scandal as well as confusion. The official story is that captain Jack and his male crew were all sleeping off the drink down below when the Royal Navy came calling and only the brave and erstwhile women were left to defend the ship, calling the men cowards even as they were surrounded and captured by the British authorities. They were sentenced to hang but both pleaded they were with child, both pregnant with Captain Jacks baby, and thus their sentences were commuted to short terms in prison before they were released to the custody of family.
While the history books do not report it there were probably quite a few women involved with piracy that didn’t get much press. This could be for a number of reasons such as those books that they were reported in never got press or never made it this far down the time line and were thus lost to history. It could be that there were enough women involved that it simply didn’t rate as news and Captain Jacks story is only known because of the unusual love triangle. Whatever the reason it’s as certain now as it was then that Sex appeal definitely followed those women who plied their pirates trade.
