What name called to male ship?
WRONG ANSWER below. Ships by tradition are not given male names and are always referred to with female names and pronouns. It was considered bad luck to give a male name to a ship, but on the other hand women were also not allowed to board a ship.
Why were there very few pirate women?
In British sailor lore, women were believed to be "bad luck" on a ship -- and they often were, because the crew would fight for sexual access to them.However, there were many ships which carried women -- captain's wives and daughters, passengers, boatloads of colonists, boatloads of slaves -- despite the superstition about women being "bad luck."Some women served on pirate ships while hiding their gender; we will never know how many of those there were. Some served openly, like Ann/Anne Bonney/Bonny. However, it is not easy to hide your gender when the only "toilet" is a board you sit on out in the open off the back of the ship, so there could not be too many women who were able to serve on pirate ships secretly.Serving openly would be even more difficult, because of the great risk of sexual assault and because some crews or captains simply would not permit a woman on board.Even if that weren't a problem, there would be simple questions of skill and strength. Most women would not have had a chance to learn the skilled jobs at sea -- navigator, etc. -- and most women would not have the raw physical strength needed for the unskilled jobs.The answer is, there were probably more pirate women than we know about -- but superstition, sexual assault, skill, and strength issues always kept the number very low.For very entertaining fictional representations of being a woman pirate, see "Jade" by Sally Watson (which has four female pirates in it, including an escaped slave woman), or Bloody Jack: Being an Account of the Curious Adventures of Mary "Jacky" Faber, Ship's Boy by L. A. Meyer. Meyer has a whole series of "Bloody Jack" adventures.
Why did Anne Bonny look like a man?
She probably only dressed like a man. It was bad luck for a woman to be on a pirate ship from what I understand and she probably wanted the other men to leave her alone. More than likely, she looked like a thin, feminine looking man.
