Time machine to the Golden Age of Piracy

I as a young man witnessed something very rare as an English Pirate on an English ship. We captured a ship that was bound for the west Indies, and on that ship I encountered a Woman named Mary Reed. A lot of people including myself had mistaken Mary Reed for a male, but she was  not a man at all.

As i began to see how Mary did not wear a bristling beard and would frighten any unfortunate trader
if she came as a pirate, i questioned how can she be a male. Mary then began to explain how when she was younger, her mother decided to make her dress as a boy once her brother died because Mrs.Reed feared her mother in law would not leave any property to a girl.

Even though these efforts added to nothing, Mary and her family still inherited nothing, However, her mother still thought her child will get along better in the world as a boy. Mary did not take kind of fancy blacking boots or being a powder monkey on board of man-of-war. Therefore she ran away from those duties and went to seek if living a soldiers life would do her life better.

Mary did not like carrying her heavy musket either so she changed into a regiment of Calvary. There she fell in love with a man and he became her first husband. Her domestic life doesn't last long after her husband dies. She tries to go back to the military but she realized she liked the sea better than the land, and this is when she sailed on the ship we took over and this is how i encountered with her.

From this point i seen Mary fall in love again. This time with a man who was quiet, amiable, and not at all suited to his present life. He became a pirate for the love of her and she made sure to make his life as easy as possible. Disguised a man further down the line Mary fell in love with Anne Bonny.

In a nut shell, my encounter with Mary Reed was one of a lifetime. To hear her story of how she went about being a boy but being a woman the whole time was intriguing to the eye. Even though she was executed and died by a gruesome death like most pirates she is one of toughest pirates ever. From even killing a man in a duel for her husband and being as ready with her cutlass and her pistol as any other ocean bandit, Mary Reed was and is the most famous woman pirate ever.
