Female pirate



This is a woman pirate with sailor clothing. There were really few women aboard pirate vessels but this image represents one of those few… she might be Bonny or Read.

Of course she is based on looks of Anne Bonny and Mary Read. I used period illustration like http://s1.hubimg.com...096276_f496.jpg or http://leogirl1975.f...nread.gif (with needed criticism of course) and also the testimony of one eyewitness was thoroughly exploited. The testimony told “(the two women) wore men's jackets, and long trousers, and handkerchiefs tied about their heads; and that each of them had a machete and pistol in their hands,…” So my female pirate wears this clothing and is armed with naval weaponry of that era. She has typical sailor clothing of the early 1700s though the kerchief, in reality, was not so popular than it is in popular image of the pirates.
