Episode 206 Anne Bonny and Mary Read - Piracy and Freedom

  • Summary

  • In this episode we sail round the Horn and back again as we look into the lives, trial and mysteries of the Naussau Pirates Anne Bonny and Mary Read. Part of Calico Jack Rackham's crew, these two dressed as men, cursed, drank, fought and killed with their pirate brethren and for two months lived completely free, a rare thing for women in the Early 1700's. We dig into what little is known about their early lives, what led them to become pirates and how their two months as lawless pirates made them so famous they are still talked about to this day. Laura has Covid AND the Flu, she never does anything by halves. Arthur discusses people mocking the trans movement by identifying as helicopters and toasters and in the end, we are forced to admit that Anne Bonny disappeared sometime after she had been imprisoned on the Bahamas and we do not know how or where her life ended. So join us for this special episode all about these two pirates and so much more in this Jolly Roger Episode of the Family Plot Podcast!
