Anne Bonney and the crew she sailed with (including Captain John "Calico Jack" Racham, and crew mate Mary Reed) were caught by the English Navy in 1724. The crew was ambushed while the majority of the men were drunk. They fled under the deck and hid while Anne and Mary fought off the Naval crew above, but they were painfully outnumbered. The crew was arrested and many of the pirates were found guilty and sentenced to death by hanging. Anne Bonney bought herself some time because she was pregnant at the time of the trial, and it was decided that she would not be hanged until after she gave birth. Soon afterwards Anne and all records of her existence disappeared. It is assumed that she escaped from prison and was not hanged.

She was caught at sea, but she escaped from prison.
