YOU Mary Read and Anne Bonny, alias Bonn, are to go from hence to the Place from whence you came, and from then to the Place of Execution; where you shall be severally hang'd by the neck, 'till you are severally Dead. And GOD of his infinite Mercy be merciful to both of your Souls.
~ pronouncement of His Excellency Lord Nicholas Lawes of Jamaica, 1720

Happy Mother's Day, Pirate Queen!
Sorry I won't be able to spend the rest of it with you. See you on Thursday...
Ahoy, Timmy! Unfortunate but true after all. Safe journey, mate.
