After serving as a quartermaster on Charles Vane's sloop Ranger in 1718, Rackhman deposed Vane of his captaincy, while in Nassau in 1720 Rackham met and started an affair with Anne Bonny (c. 1700 - c. 1782), who joined his crew. Aboard Rackham’s ship ‘The Revenge’ also was Mark Read, who it was discovered was Mary Read (c.1690-1721). Read and Bonny are the only two women known to have been convicted of piracy during the early 18th century. Original illustration.
