The especially verminous female pirate Arabella Drummond was the nemesis of the valiant Captain William Lubber, author of a book entitled Pirateology, which detailed his pursuit of Drummond around the globe in an attempt to bring her to justice. She commanded a cutthroat crew aboard her ship, the Bold Adventure, plundering the waters of the Caribbean and the east coast of North America, leaving terror in her wake. She disappeared mysteriously in 1726, before she could be apprehended.
