Anne Bonny (1702 – unknown) was an Irish pirate who operated out of the Caribbean. During the Golden Age of Piracy, she was an associate of the Assassin Edward Kenway and was the second quartermaster aboard his ship, the Jackdaw.[2]
History
As early as 1715, Bonny served as barkeep at a tavern in Nassau, frequented by its pirate governors, Edward Thatch, Benjamin Hornigold, Jack Rackham, Charles Vane and Edward Kenway. By 1718, Rackham flirtatiously passed Bonny her first flintlock pistol, shortly before British forces arrived in Nassau.
In October of 1720, Jack Rackham and his crew, including Bonny, was attacked by a British sloop commissioned by the Governor of Jamaica, with the intent to take out Rackham. Being that most of the crew were drunk, many of the pirates provided little resistance, yet Bonny, Mary Read, and an unknown man fought to their full potential.[2]
Eventually, the crew was imprisoned and sentenced to be hanged. Bonny and Read were only spared that fate because they were pregnant at the time, since British law prevented pregnant women from being executed.
The two were rescued by Edward Kenway and Ah Tabai, however Mary passed away from sickness following the birth of her child. Anne soon gave birth, but her child passed away soon after. Afterwards, she became Edward's quartermaster on board the Jackdaw, following Adéwalé's departure to join the Assassins.[2]
