安妮·伯妮、玛丽·瑞德和杰克·瑞克姆(“棉布杰克”)
Anne Bonny,Mary Reade and Jack Rackam (Calico Jack)
活跃期:1718年7月——1720年11月(29个月)
说到两个著名女海盗就不得不提一下她们共同的情人“棉布杰克”,喜欢穿着漂亮的棉布衣服而得名。他们三个之所以出名也是由于他们间错综复杂的男女关系,事实上他们只不过是三流小海盗的典型代表。
杰 克·瑞克姆是韦恩(Vane,一个著名海盗,亦以运气不佳著名)的手下,当韦恩从新总督伍德·罗杰手里侥幸逃脱时,他也赶紧逃离了新普罗维登斯岛。不久韦 恩的海盗团伙出现纷争,瑞克姆趁机取代韦恩成为新的海盗首领,并把他流放到陆地上,自己带着韦恩的2艘帆船继续游弋。不过不久以后,他们被1艘牙买加人的 巡逻舰俘获,瑞克姆损失了这两条船。
瑞克姆逃脱后重新回到新普罗维登斯。在1719年5月总督罗杰的全面大赦中有幸被赦免。正是在那里, 他遇到了安妮·伯妮。对瑞克姆来说,在陆地上过循规蹈矩的生活显得索然无味,1719年,他又偷了一条帆船,取名为“威廉姆”号(William),重新 过起了海盗生活,而此时他的手下成员包括了著名女海盗伯妮和玛丽·瑞德。他以巴哈马岛海域为根据地,捕获了几艘货船和许多值钱的货物。而后,在抵达牙买加 北部海域之前,他又绕古巴岛周围航行袭击当地小船。
然而就在这时,他的好运走到头了。在从古巴西端起锚离开时,海盗船惊动了牙买加海岸附 近的1艘军舰。当时,瑞克姆手下的9名男海盗几乎全都喝得酩酊大醉。虽然玛丽·瑞德和安妮·伯妮费尽力气最终喊醒了“棉布杰克”瑞克姆和其他醉得一塌糊涂 的海盗,瑞克姆的“威廉姆”号砍断缆索逃跑,但还是在夜间被牙买加官船搜查到了。2艘船一阵乱炮之后,海军的巴内特(Barnet)舰长率领士兵跳帮冲向 海盗船的甲板。当海军上船后,士兵们惊奇的发现伯妮和瑞德是海盗中仅有的尚有还手之力的人,当伯妮和瑞德被制服后,战斗也就停止了,海盗们被带到太子港接 受审讯。两个女海盗由于怀有身孕而被免除绞刑,但瑞克姆和其他海盗都被绞死了。
当时的审判记录下了女海盗的家庭背景,这引起了整个欧洲和 美洲的轰动。人们觉得非常刺激,这很大程度上是因为,她们很多年来都像男人一样生活,摆脱了一切当时强加到妇女身上的枷锁。也就是说,人们感兴趣不仅仅因 为她们是女海盗,还因为她们打破了当时社会的严格规范。玛丽·瑞德的母亲显然是“把她当作一个男孩来养的,让她穿得跟男孩一模一样”。在家务劳动中,甚至 在英国的军舰上服役时,她都被当作一个男人。后来,她爱上了一个士兵并嫁给了他。丈夫死后,她又恢复了她的“男性”角色,在一艘加勒比海地区的船上做了一 段时间水手。 1717年,玛丽·瑞德被海盗俘虏后,便加入盗伙,随后结识了瑞克姆的同伴安妮·伯妮。
据当时的资料记载,安妮·伯妮虽然 仍保留着女性特征,但“为了满足一个愿望的需要”,她也是被当作一个男孩来抚养。在离家之后,她嫁给了一个水手,后来她丈夫变成了海盗,并以新普罗维登斯 岛为据点活动。因此在那里,她遇到了玛丽·瑞德。虽然据记载说两个女海盗第一次相遇时相互敌视,但不久就亲密无间了。无论如何,女人之间成为朋友都不足为 奇,尤其是两个有着相似的不平常的出身背景女人。在新普罗维登斯岛,安妮·伯妮遇到了瑞克姆,在瑞克姆让她抛弃她的丈夫之后,她就追随瑞克姆了。
由 于她们的传奇事迹已经声名远扬,因此两个女海盗和其他海盗被分开审判。据法庭记录,“她们都生性放荡,在法庭上不停咒骂,乐意做任何不知廉耻的事情。 ” 受害者证实说,她们在抢劫时身着男式服装,其他时候则穿女式衣服。在其后的审判中,她们俩都被判处死刑,但当法庭发现她们俩都怀有身孕后,她们被暂缓 执行。后来,玛丽在1721年死于牙买加一个监狱,安妮的命运就不得而知了。

    Then a teenager, Mary was hired out as a footboy to a French woman. But according to history, "here she did not live long, for growing bold and strong, and having also a roving mind, she entered herself on board a man-of-war, where she served some time; then quitted it." Still disguised as a male, she enlisted in a foot regiment in Flanders and later a horse regiment, serving in both with distinction. She fell in love with a fellow soldier, disclosed her true sex, and began dressing as a female. After their marriage, she and her husband became innkeepers, owning the Three Horseshoes near the castle of Breda in Holland. Unfortunately, he died young and her fortunes soon dwindled.
    She knew that life in the 1700s was much easier as a man than as a woman, so she reverted back to men's clothing and started her life over, this time going to sea on a Dutch merchant ship heading to the Caribbean. On one voyage, the ship was commandeered by English pirates with whom she sailed and fought until they accepted the King's pardon in 1718 and began operating as privateers. Soon afterwards, their ship was overtaken by Captain Jack Rackham's Vanity and, bored of the legitimate life, she again turned pirate. Anne Bonney was already part of Rackham's crew, and she and Mary quickly discovered each other's cross-dressing secret and became close friends. Despite her tough exterior, Mary found a lover on board and is said to have saved his life by protecting him from a threatened duel. She picked a fight with his opponent first and, with deadly use of her sword and pistol, ended his life before he could harm her husband-to-be.

      Both Anne and Mary were known for their violent tempers and ferocious fighting, and they shared a reputation as "fierce hell cats." Their fellow crewmembers knew that -- in times of action -- no one else was as ruthless and bloodthirsty as these two women were. Captain Jack, nicknamed "Calico Jack" for his love of colorful cotton clothing, was a well-known pirate in those days, but his reputation has survived through the ages primarily because of these two infamous women pirates on his crew.
      In late October 1720, Rackkam's ship was anchored off Point Negril, Jamaica, the pirates celebrating recent victories in their typical hard-drinking tradition. Suddenly a British Navy sloop -- the man-o-war Albion, headed by Captain Jonathan Barnet -- surprised them. The drunken male pirates quickly hid below deck, leaving only Anne and Mary to defend their ship. The women yelled at their pirate mates to "come up, you cowards, and fight like men," and then angrily raged against them, killing one and wounding several others. But the women were eventually overwhelmed by the British Navy, and the entire crew was captured and taken to Jamaica to stand trial.
      Captain Jack and the male members of his crew were tried on November 16, 1720, and were sentenced to hang. Anne was allowed to visit her lover in his cell before his execution, and instead of the consoling, loving words he was undoubtedly expecting, her scathing comments live on throughout history: "Had you fought like a man, you need not have been hang'd like a dog."
      Anne and Mary were tried one week after Rackham's death and were also found guilty. But at their sentencing, when asked by the judge if they had anything to say, they replied, "Mi'lord, we plead our bellies." Both were pregnant, and since British law forbade killing an unborn child, their sentences were stayed temporarily.
      Mary is said to have died of a violent fever in the Spanish Town prison in 1721, before the birth of her child. Other reports say she feigned death and was sneaked out of the prison under a shroud.
      No record of Anne's execution has ever been found. Some say that her wealthy father bought her release after the birth of her child and she settled down to a quiet family life on a small Caribbean island. Others believe that she lived out her life in the south of England, owning a tavern where she regaled the locals with tales of her exploits.
      And yet others say Anne and Mary moved to Louisiana where they raised their children together and were friends to the ends of their lives.

        The Bonney-Read Krewe is an all-female krewe that was formed in 1994 and began participating in the Gasparilla and Sant'Yago Knight parades in 1995. It evolved from the Hyde Park Women's Club and is served by a men's auxiliary of husbands and significant others, suitably named "Grogmasters." The founders of the Hyde Park Women's Club and the Krewe are Camille Matthews, Carol Ferguson, and Linda Will.
        Our Krewe is based on the lives of two female pirates, Anne Bonney and Mary Read, who sailed the Caribbean in the early 1700s, masquerading as men. Feminists before their time, they were known as "ferocious hellcats" and are considered to be the most famous women pirates in history.
        Anne and Mary sailed with Captain Jack Rackham � also know as Calico Jack -- until their crew was captured by the British Navy in 1720, brought to trial in Jamaica, and sentenced to death by hanging. On the day they were caught, Jack's drunken crew had cowered below deck, leaving only Anne and Mary to defend the ship. Our motto is taken from Anne's parting words to Calico Jack, uttered just before he was hanged: "Had you fought like a man, you need not have been hang'd like a dog."
        At their sentencing, Anne and Mary "pleaded their bellies" � they were both pregnant, so their sentences were stayed temporarily. It is believed that Mary died in prison shortly after the birth of her child, but Anne was somehow spirited out, and she spent the rest of her life regaling others with tales of her exploits as a pirate.
        Each year, we choose two Krewe members and a Grogmaster to represent us as Anne Bonney, Mary Read, and Calico Jack.
