Anne Bonney & Mary Read statue (help please)

[Silent Invader]

I'm putting together my own set of 'Calico Jack' Rackham, Anne Bonney and Mary Read.

I'm not using more traditional sources for the ladies, such as:



Rather, I'm much more inclined towards the portrayal in the statue 'Sisters of the Sea' by Erik Christianson, which I believe (but am not certain) is displayed in Nassau, Bahamas.

I have googled and googled but I cannot find any other images of the statue, especially of what I believe is the other (Mary Read?) side.

Has anyone got any more info or images? Thanks.

I found this:

A statue of Anne Bonny at Bluebeard's Castle in Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas.
Plaque Reads:
"A pretty Irish colleen, at age 16 she tracked her runaway husband to the Virgin Islands where she murdered him. She & Calico Jack became the scourge of the Caribbean and she delighted in tempting her captives before killing them. Captured and sentenced to hang the judge spared her because she was pregnant. She simply disappeared after that."

Yeah, but that's clearly not from the Christianson set:

Looks like a private commission (hotel/restaurant like the other example, above).

I spent 20 minutes and found nothing.

How about just contacting the sculptor himself? His email address is on his webpage (http://www.erikchristianson.net) and he might have more photos.

In terms of miniatures, have you seen North Star's take on Calico Jack's crew for the Seven Seas game?  The Anne Bonney and Mary Read are definitely the more romanticized version:

Thanks folks for all the effort and the suggestions - it's greatly appreciated.  I was kind of hoping someone on the forum had been to Nassau and had photos, a long shot I know but family members who have been there were a fail (though I did learn about the Cayman Pirate Festival, which sounds a lot of fun.  ). Contacting the sculptor is my next recourse.

Thanks also for the Northstar reference though my minis are already quite a way there: they are conversions from Warlord Games Project Z Survivors with other WG bits. I'm giving Jack a blunderbus, pistol and axe because I think of him as being somewhat less skilled than Anne and Mary. I expect he'll spend a lot of time standing behind them!

Love your plastic conversions!

Thanks. Still lot to do though!
