Picture Yourself as a Pirate

Pirate costumes are a great choice in adult Halloween garb, since they offer so many possibilities. Of course, they’re hot this year, with the popularity of Johnny Depp and his Pirates of the Caribbean. If you don’t want to be Johnny Depp you might be a member of the Jolly Roger crew, or a maiden of that time.

If you want to choose pirate costumes that offer some authentic history here are some biographies or real pirates. And you lassies don’t have to fear you’ll be left out. One of these most villainous of pirates was a woman. Pirate costumes, then, are right for either sex.
Samuel Bellamy was nicknamed Black Bellamy, and came to be a thing of legend. British born, he traveled to the American colonies looking for fortune. He didn’t find his sought after sunken treasure and returned to Britain to be married. It wasn’t long, however, before he took again to the seas and soon became captain of his own ship. He pirated in the West Indies. Pirate or not, he was said to be gentle and kind with his prisoners. Pirate costumes of Samuel Bellamy would display a handsome and well dressed man.
Costumes of pirate Anne Bonny will display a woman of wealth and good upbringing who jumped headfirst into wild and wanton ways. Born in County Cork Ireland about the end of the 17th century, Anne was brought by ship to America by her lawyer father and her mother, his maid. She grew up in Charleston South Carolina, and exhibited a fierce temper and fiery countenance early on. When she fell in love with a sea captain at age sixteen her pirate years began to take shape. Disowned by her father, she married the captain and they left Charleston, and land.
After the marriage failed to make her happy and pirating beside her husband became a bore, Anne changed sides and started spying on the pirates for then Governor Rogers. No one knows what finally happened to her.
Clearly, donning pirate costumes will put you, if only for one day, in the company of some wild warriors.
