What Happened to Female Pirates After Capture Will Leave You Speechless In the colonial courts of the 17th and 18th centuries, from the humid docks of Jamaica to the cold tidewaters of the Thames, the fate of captured female pirates was sealed by a legal system that viewed them not merely as criminals, but as transgressors of societal order. Within British Admiralty Courts, where the Piracy Act of 1698 defined piracy as a capital offense, women were sentenced with a finality that left little room for mercy. Their trials were swift, often held in makeshift tribunals without juries, and concluded under the heavy presumption of guilt. These proceedings reflected a deeper truth: that gender, as much as crime, dictated justice on the seas. From flogging with the cat-o’-nine-tails to forced servitude and confinement on disease-ridden prison ships, punishment served both imperial order and public deterrence. The stories of Anne Bonny, Mary Read, and Mary Critchett stand among the few recorded, yet they point to a wider, largely unacknowledged history of female pirates persecuted under maritime law, buried by silence, and remembered through traces of archival injustice. 0:00 Tried in Harsh Naval Courts 01:53 Hanged at Execution Dock for Piracy 04:32 Flogged in Front of Crowds 06:31 Forced into Concubinage or Slavery 08:37 Left to Die on Prison Ships NOTICE: This documentary is for educational and historical purposes only.
