First peek at Taika Waititi's pirate comedy, "Our Flag Means Death"

that’d be Capt. Teach you refer and take care the utt’rin’ his name.
as for the women, too many conflicting reports, tales and legend surround them. some say Bonney escaped the noose and was privated away back to Ireland. reports of the day say she gave birth* and was then hanged. Mary Read(e) most likely was summarily hanged at Port Royal circa 1720(?) dates vary. the two would certainly be good for a more fanciful “based on real peopl” type fictional history, but the same is true for most of the feared names of pirate lore.
ETA *most like birthed Jack Rackam’s baby.
