  • 20:4320:43, 29 May 2024 diff hist +281 Anne BonnyAdded 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 BonnyChanged 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 BonnyI 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 BonnyAdded 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 BonnySlight 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 BonnyAdded 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 BonnySame 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 BonnyAdded 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 BonnyAdded 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 BonnyNoted 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 BonnyAdded 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 BonnyMinor spacing fixes.
  • 19:3219:32, 28 May 2024 diff hist +570 Anne BonnyAdded 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 BonnyFixed double spacing.
  • 18:5518:55, 28 May 2024 diff hist −8 m Anne BonnyChanged 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 BonnyAdded 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 BonnyAdded 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 BonnyReworked 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 BonnyChanged 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.

  • 00:3800:38, 26 May 2024 diff hist +82 Anne BonnyCorrected file from png to jpeg and added bottom text.
  • 00:2600:26, 26 May 2024 diff hist +49 Anne BonnyAdded 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.

  • 20:1820:18, 25 May 2024 diff hist 0 Jonathan BarnetFinger 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 BarnetAdded a short paragraph about Johnathan Barnet

  • 15:0115:01, 24 May 2024 diff hist −5 Nassau, BahamasSlight 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 BonnyChanged 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 BonnyChanged 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.

  • 14:3414:34, 20 May 2024 diff hist −52 m Anne BonnyFixed error message with link not being used.
  • 14:3214:32, 20 May 2024 diff hist −325 Anne BonnyEdited 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 BonnyRemoved 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 BonnyChanged 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 BonnyChanged 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 BonnyAdded 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 BonnyAdded citation for the posted image.
  • 03:4503:45, 20 May 2024 diff hist +213 Anne BonnyCorrected 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.

  • 19:3519:35, 17 May 2024 diff hist −510 Piracy in the CaribbeanThis 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 bellyBriefly 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 PiracyChanged 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 AnneCorrected 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 BonnySlight grammar correction. current
  • 19:2219:22, 17 May 2024 diff hist +20 BonnyCorrected 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.
