Fun Information: Mary Read is infamous for being one of only two women to be convicted of piracy during the Golden Age of Piracy. Born in the late 17th century, Mary spent her entire childhood dressed as a boy. This was due to secure her late father’s company and holdings as inheritance for his “son.” Soon enough, the money that she inherited ran out, so she joined the military, but during a period of peace there was no chance for advancement. Mary quit the military and boarded a ship heading towards the West Indies. While bound for the West Indies, the ship was intercepted and captured by Pirate Captain Calico Jack. Mary Read soon joined the pirates, and this was where she met Anne Bonny, another notorious female pirate. Being the same gender, Mary and Anne soon developed a close relationship. Aboard the ship Mary fell in love with a sailor who was forced to join Calico Jack. When the sailor was to fight a duel against a seasoned pirate, Mary feared for his life, and instead challenged the pirate to a duel herself. Mary prevailed and the grateful sailor proposed to Mary. The two married but the marriage did not last long, for Pirate Captain Calico Jack was captured along with Mary and Bonny. After trial, Calico Jack was hung, and Mary died in prison on April 1721. As for Bonny, there are no records of her being executed or sent to prison. She simply just disappeared.
