Famous Pirates

Blackbeard, also Edward Teach:

Blackbeard is one of the most well-known pirates, and one of the most terrifying, at that. When he was about to pillage a ship, Blackbeard would light fuses in is large black beard to strike fear into the hearts of the crewmen abroad the fellow ship. He strapped pistols to himself as that he would be able to quickly kill. Many people that saw him thought that he was the devil!

Blackbeard was killed on November 22, 1718 in a fight with the Royal Navy of Britton. It took five gunshots and more then twenty sward cuts to kill him!

Calico Jack, also John Rackham:

Calico Jack was known by this name for the calico coats that he would ware. He has mostly been remembered by his work with two famous female pirates, Anne Bonny and Mary Read, and was only moderately successful in his life as a pirate.

Calico Jack was caught by the British Navy. It was much for the Navy easier then it normally would have normally been. Calico Jack's crew was drunk, so the fight was lost quickly. On November 16, 1720, Jack was sentenced to being hung. This was carried out the next day.

Mary Read:

Mary Read was a tomboy girl who dressed and acted like a man. She ran away at 13 to sail away abroad a ship. A few years later, she enlisted in the army. It was then that she fell in love with a fellow soldier. Mary Read was wedded to him, began to dress like women did, and opened a hotel with her husband. Later, when her husband died, she went back to sea. Calico Jack then captured her ship and she befriended him and Anne Bonny. She became a pirate along with her two friends.

Many Read was captured with Calico Jack and Anne Bonny by the British Navy. She and Anne escaped being hung due to their possibly feigned pregnancy. They were both imprisoned instead. Mary died, still in prison, not long after this from sickness.

Anne Bonny:

Anne Bonny was a courageous, independent and headstrong woman. Like Mary Read, Anne Bonny married a young soldier by the name of James Bonny. She was stolen from her husband by Calico Jack, resulting to her unlikely friendship with him. She, Mary Read and Calico Jack. Anne Bonny disguised herself as a man and joined Jack in a life of piracy.

Later, as described above, the three of them were captured, and she and Marry said that they were pregnant (which was possibly untrue), and their hanging was postponed and they were put in prison until they gave birth. Anne Bonny mysteriously disappeared and was never seen or heard from again.

• Purebred cats normally have amber eyes.

• Cats can see well in just a sixth of the light humans need to see in.

•Milk is not good for cats, most are allergic to it. Feeding milk to your cat can cause him or her to have diarrhea. Cats can have Soy milk, Almond milk, and Coconut milk without any allergic reactions.

• Unneutered male cats may be less affectionate and may spray household objects such as couches and chairs and may also develop cheek jowls and thick neck skin.

•The sound of bats fluttering their wings sounds like a drum roll to a cat's ears.
