Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The TV show Black Sails is a prequel to Robert Louis Stevenson's classic novel Treasure Island, following the adventures of Captain Flint and his crew of pirates. While the show is led by fictional characters such as Flint, the main Black Sails characters include real historical pirates like the infamous Long John Silver and the mysterious Billy Bones .
9 Anne Bonny The real Anne Bonny's fate is a mystery. Close Anne Bonny is a prominent pirate throughout the entirety of Black Sails. The real Anne Bonny was born in Ireland and moved to Nassau after marrying a pirate named James Bonny. After James became an informant for the governor, Anne Bonny left him for "Calico Jack" Rackham. Bonny joined Rackham's crew on the Revenge, which included another historical pirate, Mary Read.
The historical Rackham sailed with Anne Bonny and Mary Read for some time after parting ways with Vane. Rackham's ship was siezed in Port Royal in 1720. When his crew was attacked, most of the men were drunk. Bonny and Read were the only ones who put up a fight. Bonny's famous last words to Rackham were, “If you had fought like a man, you wouldn't be hanged like a dog" . After his capture, Rackham was charged with four counts of piracy and hanged on November 18, 1720.
Additionally, his reputation as a cruel captain might be entirely fictional as there is zero evidence that he killed people prior to the final battle at Ocracoke. What is known is that when Blackbeard was killed in battle, his head was hung from the bowsprit of the enemy ship, and his body was tossed overboard. According to legend, his corpse swam around the ship several times before sinking out of sight.
3 Ned Low Ned Low's Black Sails death is entirely fictional. Close Edward "Ned" Low has a small but vital role in Black Sails season 2 when he captures Abigail Ashe while she is traveling to Charles Town. Abigail becomes an important hostage as Flint attempts to negotiate with her father Peter Ashe . Vane kills Low to secure Abigail. Vane stakes Low's head on Nassau's beach along with a sign that says "I angered Charles Vane.
