29 May 2024

  • 20:4320:43, 29 May 2024 diff hist +281‎ Anne Bonny ‎ Added brief notice that the trial transcript calls her Ann Bonny alias Bonn, which is curious and can't really be explained. Also added pages to several citations involving the trial transcript.
  • 20:1620:16, 29 May 2024 diff hist −1‎ Anne Bonny ‎ Changed the cigarette card image to be at the legacy section. Also changed positions of a few images so it is less clumped together.
  • 20:1320:13, 29 May 2024 diff hist −770‎ Anne Bonny ‎ I don't intend to be mean, but the pop culture section doesn't really need to get much bigger, the list of Anne Bonny depictions is nearly as large as the stars in the sky. One song on YouTube and a couple of recent romance books, doesn't really cut it.
  • 20:0920:09, 29 May 2024 diff hist +1,676‎ Anne Bonny ‎ Added a Legacy section that details how influential Bonny is when it concerns the pirate in popular imagination. Included multiple academic books, a piece about piracy and red hair by a popular author, and a blog that lists every single appearance by Bonny in book, film, TV, stage, and video game. Its a lot.
  • 13:3713:37, 29 May 2024 diff hist 0‎ m Anne Bonny ‎ Slight grammar correction. Also its the pleading the belly page that has Bonny and Read in the header, not jury of matrons. Just, quick correction note.
  • 13:2913:29, 29 May 2024 diff hist +4‎ m Anne Bonny ‎ Added a hyperlink for jury of matrons, since the header photo is Anne Bonny and Mary Read.

28 May 2024

  • 20:3120:31, 28 May 2024 diff hist −8‎ Anne Bonny ‎ Same as before, changing female pirate to woman to avoid implying a longer career then what it was. It was August 22 1720 to October 22 1720.
  • 20:2020:20, 28 May 2024 diff hist +56‎ Anne Bonny ‎ Added image of Mary Read since she does matter quite a bit to the story of Anne Bonny. Moved the cigarette card to the right side of the page, debating if its really required. Its only notable aspect is, its the first depiction of Bonny with red hair.
  • 20:1120:11, 28 May 2024 diff hist +275‎ Anne Bonny ‎ Added front cover of General History of the Pyrates, primarily because it has Anne Bonny's name in a larger font size. Which plays into the fact that the book plays them up more than more notable pirates of the era, and thus isn't reliable.
  • 19:4319:43, 28 May 2024 diff hist +66‎ Anne Bonny ‎ Noted that there's no documented record of Bonny being a colonist of Nassau prior to Benjamin Hornigolds arrival on the island in 1713 after the end of the War of Spanish Succession.
  • 19:3819:38, 28 May 2024 diff hist +316‎ Anne Bonny ‎ Added sentence casting doubt on James Bonny being an informer for Governor Rogers, since he is never noted to have taken the Kings Pardon, and he wouldn't be serving the British without a pardon. The list of Pardons was put together by a Rogers associate, Vincent Pearse. Link to full list added with citation.
  • 19:3319:33, 28 May 2024 diff hist +1‎ m Anne Bonny ‎ Minor spacing fixes.
  • 19:3219:32, 28 May 2024 diff hist +570‎ Anne Bonny ‎ Added a brief section about Anne Bonny's early life, which is to say, we know nothing about her for real. General History's description gets its own sub section, where its strongly noted the information is unreliable and mostly flat out a lie.
  • 18:5918:59, 28 May 2024 diff hist −1‎ m Anne Bonny ‎ Fixed double spacing.
  • 18:5518:55, 28 May 2024 diff hist −8‎ m Anne Bonny ‎ Changed female pirate to woman, because it implies she was a pirate prior to 1720. Judging from records, she wasn't a pirate before 22 August.
  • 18:4718:47, 28 May 2024 diff hist +603‎ Anne Bonny ‎ Added specifc page citation from the trial transcript noting that Bonny gave gunpowder to the pirates during pirate action.
  • 18:3618:36, 28 May 2024 diff hist +538‎ Anne Bonny ‎ Added more detailed citation about Dorthoy Thomas's description of Bonny and Read, including the page number in the trial transcript.
  • 18:2118:21, 28 May 2024 diff hist +242‎ Anne Bonny ‎ Reworked the section to deemphasize the claims of General History. The September 5th proclamation names Bonny and Read, making an accidental romance impossible. The trial transcript is largely being quoted here, citations will be put in soon.
  • 18:0518:05, 28 May 2024 diff hist +6‎ Anne Bonny ‎ Changed section title from Rackhams Partner, to John Rackham and Piracy. We actually don't know the details of their relationship, primary sources only note Bonny was a crew member of Rackam. Perhaps it was romantic, perhaps not. Its best to not blindly assume General History is telling the truth.

26 May 2024

  • 00:3800:38, 26 May 2024 diff hist +82‎ Anne Bonny ‎ Corrected file from png to jpeg and added bottom text.
  • 00:2600:26, 26 May 2024 diff hist +49‎ Anne Bonny ‎ Added photo of the burial record mentioned in the Post and Courier article, as it is viewable. I believe the page as a whole could benefit from a few more images here and there and this one is definitely notable.

25 May 2024

  • 20:1820:18, 25 May 2024 diff hist 0‎ Jonathan Barnet ‎ Finger slipped. Added a paragraph about Barnets career pre 1715 during the War of Spanish Succession. Added a citation from a merchants book, quite interesting he was around for 8 years before he became famous for capturing Rackam. Also corrected years active side bar to 1712 to 1720. current
  • 20:1720:17, 25 May 2024 diff hist +444‎ Jonathan Barnet ‎ Added a short paragraph about Johnathan Barnet

24 May 2024

  • 23:1523:15, 24 May 2024 diff hist +218‎ User talk:Earle Bartibus Huxley ‎ →‎Anne Bonny: Reply current Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit Reply
  • 15:0115:01, 24 May 2024 diff hist −5‎ Nassau, Bahamas ‎ Slight rephrase, as John Rackam, Anne Bonny, and Mary Read didn't really use Nassau as a base, they started their pirate career by stealing a sloop from the harbor and not coming back. They did undoubtedly spend a lot of time on the island prior to becoming pirates, so its been slightly reworded to better reflect this. current
  • 12:5312:53, 24 May 2024 diff hist −2‎ Anne Bonny ‎ Changed image description to Captain Charles Johnson to avoid any confusion with the playwright Charles Johnson, and used the full title of the book A General History of the Pyrates because for some, that image and text window is all they will check.
  • 12:4212:42, 24 May 2024 diff hist +359‎ Anne Bonny ‎ Changed claiming the court granted them a stay, when its a jury of matrons does the examination and then tells the court if a woman is pregnant or not, thus they hold the power not the court. Also added an academic paper from a high quality professor detailing the somewhat recent debate over if Bonny and Read were actually pregnant.

20 May 2024

  • 14:3414:34, 20 May 2024 diff hist −52‎ m Anne Bonny ‎ Fixed error message with link not being used.
  • 14:3214:32, 20 May 2024 diff hist −325‎ Anne Bonny ‎ Edited the entire section to better reflect the claims of General History, which is very very vague over dates until the last couple pages. Deleted claims of marriage because General History never claims anything as such.
  • 14:2214:22, 20 May 2024 diff hist −284‎ Anne Bonny ‎ Removed any mention of William Cormac and Mary Brennan. Those names are not from General History of the Pyrates, they first appear in the 1964 romance novel Mistress of the Seas. General History refers to Annes father as "The attorney" and briefly calls her mother "Mary" and that's it. Not that it means much, the story is quite clearly fictional, but if we must go with General Historys version of events, at least get the names correct.
  • 14:0414:04, 20 May 2024 diff hist −2‎ m Anne Bonny ‎ Changed the date grammar to day month instead of month day to better match the dates in the rest of the article.
  • 14:0214:02, 20 May 2024 diff hist −9‎ Anne Bonny ‎ Changed phrasing for pleading the belly, as the mechanics of it involved a jury of matrons inspecting and then telling the court. We don't actually have documentation showing how the jury ruled, but its highly likely they said they were pregnant, although that doesn't mean they are being honest. Also the burial registery wasn't for a church, its for the entire Saint Catherines Parish area and thus noted as such now.
  • 13:3713:37, 20 May 2024 diff hist +278‎ Anne Bonny ‎ Added in Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag to pop culture section, since it is one of the most well known depictions of Anne Bonny in the last decade or so. Couldn't get the correct Sarah Greene page to link, will correct that later, added IMDB reference since it appears she never did an interview on the subject.
  • 03:4903:49, 20 May 2024 diff hist +301‎ Anne Bonny ‎ Added citation for the posted image.
  • 03:4503:45, 20 May 2024 diff hist +213‎ Anne Bonny ‎ Corrected newspaper mention, it was the Boston Gazette, not the Boston News Herald. Added photo of the newspaper proclamation as its a very important piece of information.

19 May 2024

17 May 2024

  • 19:3519:35, 17 May 2024 diff hist −510‎ Piracy in the Caribbean ‎ This paragraph is fairly messy, Anne Bonny and Mary Read are not assoicated with any pirate beyond John Rackam, what they directly said in court is not written, and rumors of Bonny being rescued from prison by her father come from Mistress of the Seas, a 1964 romance novel. current
  • 19:3019:30, 17 May 2024 diff hist +89‎ Pleading the belly ‎ Briefly added mention that its unclear if either woman was actually pregnant or if the plea was just a lie to avoid execution. Also noted Bonnys fate is unknown.
  • 19:2819:28, 17 May 2024 diff hist −328‎ Golden Age of Piracy ‎ Changed date of birth and death to better match how little we know on the subject, and removed claims Bonny and Read were lovers, which really as a claim only becomes common in the 1970s due to an article written by radical feminist Susan Baker. Its not a claim especially taken seriously nowadays, there's just no evidence of it anywhere.
  • 19:2519:25, 17 May 2024 diff hist +23‎ Anne ‎ Corrected date to match the main Anne Bonny page, which is to say we do not know only when she stops showing up in any historical record. Also its better to point out she was a famous female pirate, then an Irish pirate.
  • 19:2219:22, 17 May 2024 diff hist +1‎ m Bonny ‎ Slight grammar correction. current
  • 19:2219:22, 17 May 2024 diff hist +20‎ Bonny ‎ Corrected date to better match the Anne Bonny, which is to say we don't know when she was born and died. Changed woman to female to flow a little better.
  • 19:2019:20, 17 May 2024 diff hist −4‎ Women in piracy ‎ Corrected claims of birth years for Anne Bonny and Mary Read to unknown, changed to 1720 the correct year they became pirates, added ambiguity to claims of being pregnant current
  • 19:0719:07, 17 May 2024 diff hist −349‎ Pirate code ‎ The main body of the paragraph clashed heavily with the last sentence, which is broadly speaking true. They wore sailor pants, jackets, and handkerchiefs around the head for mobility purposes, and womens clothing while off duty. They did not flash anyone as some drawings depict.
  • 19:0319:03, 17 May 2024 diff hist +14‎ Pirates of the Caribbean (film series) ‎ Better to phrase the rumor as likely INSPIRED and not BASED on, a lot of franchise characters take names from real pirates but aren't really close. Barbosa isn't a Muslim corsair to name just one example. More neutral phrasing.
  • 19:0019:00, 17 May 2024 diff hist +23‎ Piracy ‎ Changing the date to disappeared after 28 November 1720 to match the Anne Bonny page, and because dates involving her birth and death are highly contested and cannot ever truly be confirmed. The only date we can confirm, is her career of August 22 1720 to October 22 1720, date of her trial November 28th 1720, and precious little else.
  • 18:5118:51, 17 May 2024 diff hist −115‎ History of the Bahamas ‎ Included more accurate dates, the spree of John Rackam lasted August 22 1720 to October 22 1720. Also while Bonny and Read definitely claimed to be pregnant, this is a debated issue as lying about pregnancy was very common. current
  • 18:4518:45, 17 May 2024 diff hist −303‎ Jolly Roger ‎ The famous Rackam flag doesn't even appear in any literature until well over a century after his death in 1720. There's no indication the two swords were also designed to represent Bonny and Read, who were just two minor crew members on his sloop.
  • 18:4318:43, 17 May 2024 diff hist −732‎ 1717–1718 Acts of Grace ‎ There's no concrete record of Rackam before August 1720, so we cannot confirm if he ever took a pardon. Anne Bonny and Mary Read taking pardons absolutely never happened, best if the paragraph is removed all together honestly. current
  • 18:1418:14, 17 May 2024 diff hist −834‎ Parrot Cay ‎ The citation is just tourism claims, and Anne Bonny is associated with no islands beside New Providence in the Bahamas, and Jamaica, nothing more. current
  • 18:1218:12, 17 May 2024 diff hist −371‎ Liberty Leading the People ‎ The Anne Bonny claim is coming from a sketch of a naked woman carrying a flag in the 1725 Dutch translation of General History of the Pyrates, it is not meant to be Anne Bonny its merely an allegorical sketch. While the sketch is somewhat similar, its also quite different and its unclear if a French painter would ever find a dutch copy of a 1724 book a century or so later. Removed for being too speculative. current
  • 18:0918:09, 17 May 2024 diff hist −93‎ Captain Charles Johnson ‎ We have no idea how Captain Charles Johnson researched his claims. With Anne Bonny, parts of the chapter are nearly word for word from the trial transcript, but beyond that we have not a clue and he most likely did not conduct interviews, at least not on his own and not with actual pirates.
  • 18:0618:06, 17 May 2024 diff hist −164‎ True Caribbean Pirates ‎ Better rephrasing of John Rackams story, including the accurate date of his hanging, November 18th. current
  • 17:5717:57, 17 May 2024 diff hist −315‎ Governance in 18th-century piracy ‎ There is a grand total of four pirate women in the Golden Age of Piracy, Anne Bonny, Mary Read, Mary Critchett, and Martha Farley. All four are unique cases and should not be used to paint a wide claim of pirates being open to women as pirates. current
  • 17:5317:53, 17 May 2024 diff hist −266‎ List of redheads ‎ Its not entirely clear if Anne Bonny was even from Ireland, and even if so, nobody mentioned her having red hair in any shape or form until an 1888 cigarette card, she was last noted in 1720. Its presumptuous to call her a redhead.
  • 17:5017:50, 17 May 2024 diff hist −301‎ List of women warriors in folklore ‎ There was no major fleet involved, it was just one sloop commanded by Jonathan Barnet, there's no real mention of how Bonny and Read fought, and Annes quote about hanging like a dog is likely complete fiction. current
  • 17:4717:47, 17 May 2024 diff hist −61‎ 1720 in piracy ‎ The owner of the sloop William is John Ham, not John Hamon going by the Boston Gazette, his sloop was the William, and the trial makes no mention of Anne Bonny and Mary Read fighting back.
  • 17:4317:43, 17 May 2024 diff hist +192‎ Piracy in the Atlantic World ‎ Same as before, terribly phrased and inaccurate, they were not pardoned, just given a reprieve due to being pregnant. current
  • 17:4017:40, 17 May 2024 diff hist −588‎ Piracy in the Atlantic World ‎ Basically everything about Anne Bonny being in a crew vote and being second in command is grossly inaccurate. She was a powder monkey, a crew member who delivered gunpowder to cannons. Replaced both paragraphs with a smaller paragraph that's quicker to the point and links to the trial transcript.
  • 17:3317:33, 17 May 2024 diff hist −501‎ Piracy in the Atlantic World ‎ This paragraph is bizarre, Anne Bonny and Mary Read are just two pirates, it doesn't really set a standard. The song appears real, but songs about crossdressing women are very common like the more contempoary song, William Taylor.
  • 17:2917:29, 17 May 2024 diff hist −6‎ List of comic and cartoon characters named after people ‎ Anne Bonny being irish is a bit tricky, General History claims she was from County Cork, but the chapter is very inaccurate when compared to actual records and nobody listed in church baptism records matches Anne Bonny at all. The name is also not Irish, Bonny is an English surname and Anne was popular due to queen Annes reign in the 1700s. The character is definitely a riff on Bonny's name, so lets just say female pirate. current
  • 17:2217:22, 17 May 2024 diff hist −64‎ Kinsale ‎ We do not know when or where Anen Bonny was born or died. General History merely says she was born in County Cork, and that book is not reliable. The 1782 claim comes from a 2000s book called Trials of Anne Bonny and Mary Read, which author herself has admitted included inaccurate information. Best to just remove altogether, I know Kinsale claims Anne a lot, but there is little evidence to support this. current
  • 17:1917:19, 17 May 2024 diff hist −15‎ Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum ‎ Anne Bonny was only active in the Bahamas and Jamaica, there is no association with Blackbeard nor the entire state of North Carolina. current
  • 17:1517:15, 17 May 2024 diff hist −273‎ History of lesbianism ‎ Not a good example, as the first mention of a lesbian relationship is a poorly written knock off of General History written in 1725, the concept didn't catch on until radical feminist Susan Baker wrote an article about it in 1972. There exsists very little information about Bonny and Read, and who they loved is well beyond what is currently or ever could be known. Its not even worth speculating, its just unknowable. current
  • 17:1317:13, 17 May 2024 diff hist −133‎ History of cross-dressing ‎ Shorter, more accurate summary of Bonny and Read's pirate career. They wore mens clothing while on duty, but while off duty wore womens clothing. current
  • 17:0717:07, 17 May 2024 diff hist −302‎ Mary Anne Arnold ‎ This is just a book on Anne Bonny, it cites no individual pages, the other two books cover the subject of women crossdressing as sailors in more depth and quality. current
  • 17:0017:00, 17 May 2024 diff hist −106‎ Transgender history in the United Kingdom ‎ Anne Bonny and Mary Read do not appear in documentation until 1720, they did crossdress but only during pirate actions, they wore traditional womens dresses while off duty, and witness Dorothy Thomas had no difficulty telling they were women by the largeness of breasts, to quote the trial transcript. Does not fit in this catagory. current
  • 16:5716:57, 17 May 2024 diff hist −72‎ 1702 ‎ Anne Bonny's birth and death are highly contested with various claims across history. Its more honest to not even try and ask what is correct, we'll likely never know.
  • 16:5416:54, 17 May 2024 diff hist −287‎ Women in warfare (1500–1699) ‎ Anne Bonny and Mary Read were pirates, and pirates in 1720 so after the cutoff date. Rumors of Mary Read being a soldier in the 9 Years War is unreliable and cannot be proven. Just doesn't help as a source on the subject.
  • 16:5016:50, 17 May 2024 diff hist +8‎ Bonney (surname) ‎ Changed date to better reflect the ambiguity of Anne Bonny's life prior to piracy and ultimate fate. current

16 May 2024

12 May 2024

  • 19:1119:11, 12 May 2024 diff hist +14‎ m Mary Read ‎ Grammar
  • 19:0819:08, 12 May 2024 diff hist −85‎ Calico Jack ‎ Changed side bar information. There's no record he was ever married to Anne Bonny, especially as early as 1719. Rackam never commanded the Kingston, in calander papers its noted Kingston was stolen by a Captain Thompson, the only command Rackam ever held, was the sloop William stolen out of Nassau August 22 1720.
  • 19:0419:04, 12 May 2024 diff hist +1,018‎ Mary Read ‎ Changed section from sculpture to statue. Removed first mention as it seemed highly speculative and not backed up by any claim beyond tourism. Mirrored statue section found on Anne Bonny page which includes further details that said statues were never placed on Burgh Island.
  • 19:0219:02, 12 May 2024 diff hist −89‎ Mary Read ‎ Corrected date to October 22 1720, added citation noting the date from the trial transcript, removed sentence that was too speculative, and noted her cause of death is unknown and the only known date concerning her death is burial, which is not always the same as death.
  • 18:5418:54, 12 May 2024 diff hist −447‎ Mary Read ‎ Changed sidebar information. Mary was never called Mark that comes from a 1964 romance novel. She died in late April 1721, her date of burial is April 28th, it was in Spanish Town not Port Royal, her capture was October 22 1720, and much of the stories concerning her youth are unreliable and stem from General History of the Pyrates.

11 May 2024

  • 23:3923:39, 11 May 2024 diff hist 0‎ m Anne Bonny ‎ Corrected grammar use of using given name and surname.
  • 23:3823:38, 11 May 2024 diff hist +87‎ m Anne Bonny ‎ Added brief sentence noting they were found guilty of piracy on November 28th.
  • 23:3523:35, 11 May 2024 diff hist +512‎ Anne Bonny ‎ Added correct date for the short battle, October 22 1720. Removed portion that was highly speculative and didn't have a good source, added date for when the trial occurred, November 28th 1720, and made mention that how Mary Read died is ambiguous.
  • 23:1523:15, 11 May 2024 diff hist −25‎ m Anne Bonny ‎ Removed category for people born in 1697, since the age of birth is highly contentious.
  • 22:3722:37, 11 May 2024 diff hist +450‎ Talk:Anne Bonny ‎ →‎Incomplete citations: Reply Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit Reply
  • 17:2917:29, 11 May 2024 diff hist −71‎ m Anne Bonny ‎ Improved citation for reference to Clara Paget playing Anne Bonny to an interview.
  • 16:3316:33, 11 May 2024 diff hist −390‎ m Anne Bonny ‎ Edited the pop culture section to include a link for Black Sails, and removed including General History as pop culture, its, hard to define but its not that.
  • 16:2216:22, 11 May 2024 diff hist −80‎ Anne Bonny ‎ Minor rephrase of a sentence noting that General History is not the most reliable source. Also changed a sentence claiming Mary Read of a fever or pregnancy related issues. Read died in jail, but nothing is written of the details, fever comes from General History, and the fact of her being pregnant is debated. https://digitalcommons.usf.edu/abo/vol13/iss2/14/
  • 16:1116:11, 11 May 2024 diff hist −129‎ Anne Bonny ‎ After discussion with a pirate historian, its perhaps to just not even try and guess when Bonny was born, because we just don't know. The John Rackam page just says when he was hanged, that works here with the rough date of disappearance being the the only indication of time of life. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calico_Jack
  • 16:0316:03, 11 May 2024 diff hist 0‎ Capture of John "Calico Jack" Rackham ‎ Same as before, changing the date for the event happened around ten PM on October 22, 1720.
  • 16:0116:01, 11 May 2024 diff hist +239‎ Capture of John "Calico Jack" Rackham ‎ Corrected the date of the "Battle" to October 22, as noted by a witness from the trial transcript. Also changed source to include the direct source.
  • 15:3515:35, 11 May 2024 diff hist −4,236‎ Anne Bonny ‎ Much of this information is coming from sources like All That is Interesting and Way of the Pirate, which themselves lack sourcing. Its fundamentally a story that has had hundreds of details bolted onto it over 3 long centuries and the page needs less of that, not more. Tag: Undo
  • 15:3115:31, 11 May 2024 diff hist −47‎ Anne Bonny ‎ The claims Anne Bonny gave birth prior to 1720 only appear in General History of the Pyrates. We do not know if Rackam was the father of the child noted during her November 1720 trial, and the fact she was even pregnant is a debated topic. https://digitalcommons.usf.edu/abo/vol13/iss2/14/ Tag: Undo
  • 15:2815:28, 11 May 2024 diff hist −2‎ Anne Bonny ‎ The last day Anne Bonny was a pirate, is October 22, 1720. As can be seen on page 31 of the trial transcript right here. https://archive.org/details/the-tryals-of-captain-john-rackham Tag: Undo
