Mary Read: Collector's Edition (Bad Squiddo)

Many of Mary’s skills that would later be very handy in piracy were developed when she joined the British Army as a man, starting on a man-o-war then moving to a foot regiment, and then mounted. It was here she met her husband to be, and they moved back to the Netherlands to marry and open an inn. This peacetime didn’t last long, as the fellow died and she rejoined the army.

It seems that Mary “fell in” to the pirate life, after a ship she was on got overtaken, and she was forced the join. She spoke with disdain about pirates, but had little choice. There were certainly not posters of pirates on her bedroom wall as a child.

Oh, who is this, THE Calico Jack and a particularly femme and alluring pirate called Andy?

The pack consists of one single piece miniature, cast in high quality pewter. 28mm scale, supplied unpainted.

Sculpted by Alan Marsh, shown painted by John Morris
