Little support for Burgh Island pirates By Daniel Clark, local democracy reporter 13 objections to statue
Objections have been raised against plans for a statue of two real-life female ‘Pirates Of The Caribbean’ overs fears it would glamorise violent criminals who contributed nothing to the local heritage.
Plans were announced last month for 2.4 metre tall sculptures of two of Britain’s forgotten pirates, Anny Bonny and Mary Read, to be installed at Burgh Island.
The pair wreaked havoc throughout the Caribbean in the early 1700s. Some historians have claimed the women became lovers, while others suggest they formed a three-way relationship with Anne’s husband, the English pirate captain Jack Rackham – more commonly known as Calico Jack.
