Anne Bonny: Behind the myth of the breast-baring pirate (video)

Tales of her wild and untamed nature, her provocative attire, and scandalous affairs have captured the imaginations of many

Within the realm of pirate lore and seafaring legends, one name stands out among the rest: Anne Bonny . Renowned for her audacious exploits, Bonny has become a figure shrouded in mystery and intrigue. Tales of her wild and untamed nature, her provocative attire, and scandalous affairs have captured the imaginations of many. However, behind the myth lies a deeper story, one that emerges from an 18th-century text authored by the enigmatic Captain Charles Johnson.

In an era driven by an insatiable thirst for scandal and exoticism, Johnson’s account painted Bonny as a Caribbean lesbian pirate engaged in a titillating menage a trois. But as the fragments of truth come to light through court records and trial testimonies, a different portrait emerges—one of a fiercely active and ruthless woman who commanded her ship with unparalleled resolve.
