Description
This episode takes you through uncharted waters! We talk about Anne Bonny -- one of the most ruthless female pirates that ever sailed the English seas. Anne Bonny grew up in a respectable household, with a father who despised rule breakers. But Anne did not believe that blood was thicker than water, for she decided to run away with Calico Jack, a deadly pirate that terrorised the Bahamas in the early 1700s. The pair made waves as a power couple, looting merchant and navy ships all along the Caribbean with their massive crew. The world was their oyster! That is… till they got caught by the British Navy and were put on trial. Anne Bonny, who had taken to pirating like a duck to water, would suddenly be stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea. Would she cry an ocean and beg forgiveness? Or would she sink along with the rest of her crew? Find out in this surprise episode, where Nisha just about manages to keep her head above water, as Ragavi takes her through the story of this vicious pirate.
