Скачать или смотреть The Dark Fate of Female Pirates After Capture | Forgotten History of Women at Sea

Welcome to Faded History – where we uncover the forgotten, brutal, and silenced chapters of the past.

In the 17th and 18th centuries, piracy ruled the seas, from the Caribbean islands to the Atlantic trade routes. Yet among the crews of desperate men, a few women defied society and sailed as pirates. What happened when these female pirates were captured reveals not just the cruelty of maritime law, but also the weight of gender and power in the age of empire.

Tried in British Admiralty Courts, under the infamous Piracy Act of 1698, women were judged not only as criminals but as women who violated their assigned roles. These trials were often rushed, held in makeshift courts without juries, and carried a presumption of guilt. For most, the sentence was certain: death or lifelong punishment.

Their fates included:
⚓ Public executions at Execution Dock in London, where pirates were hanged as a warning.
⚓ Flogging with the cat-o’-nine-tails, a brutal punishment designed to humiliate.
⚓ Imprisonment on overcrowded, disease-ridden prison hulks, where survival was rare.
⚓ Forced concubinage, slavery, or servitude, where women became property of the empire.
⚓ Forgotten deaths at sea or in colonial outposts, erased from official records.

Figures like Anne Bonny, Mary Read, and Mary Critchett left traces in court documents and pirate lore, but the majority of captured female pirates were erased by history, condemned without mercy, and buried in silence. Their stories reveal how law, empire, and patriarchy combined to crush women who dared to live outside the rules.

This is not just the story of piracy—it is the story of how women in history were judged, punished, and erased. By revisiting their forgotten fates, we uncover the dark truth of maritime justice, gender inequality, and the brutality of the age of sail.
