Seafaring Sunday: Pirate Mothers

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
