The town of Lynn, Massachusetts, situated up the Atlantic sea board, at a distance of some ten miles from the metropolis of New England, has been the locale of many an incident of a most romantic character. Indeed its history abounds with matter more akin to romance than fact. There are here the Pirate's Cave, Lover's Leap, the Robber's Dungeon, all within a pistol shot of each other. The story of its early Indian history is also of a most interesting character, and altogether the place is one destined to be immortal from these causes alone.

At a crucial time in American history, narratives of women in command or imperiled at sea contributed to the construction of a national rhetoric. Robin Miskolcze makes her case by way of careful readings of images of women at sea before the Civil War in her book Women and Children First. Though the sea has traditionally been interpreted as the province of men, women have gone to sea as mothers, wives, figureheads, and slaves. In fact, in the nineteenth century, women at sea contributed to the formation of an ethics of survival that helped to define American ideals. This study examines, often for the first time, images of women at sea in antebellum narratives ranging from novels and sermons to newspaper accounts and lithographs. Anglo-American women in antebellum sea narratives are often portrayed as models of American ideals derived from women’s seemingly innate Christian self-sacrifice. Miskolcze argues that these ideals, in conjunction with the maritime directive of “women and children first” during sea disasters, in turn defined a new masculine individualism, one that was morally minded, rooted in Christian principles, and dedicated to preserving virtue. Further, Miskolcze contends that without the antebellum sea narratives portraying the Christian self-sacrifice of women, the abolitionist cause would have suffered. African American women appealed to the directive of “women and children first” to make manifest their own womanhood, and by extension, their own humanity.

The town of Lynn, Massachusetts, situated up the Atlantic sea board, at a distance of some ten miles from the metropolis of New England, has been the locale of many an incident of a most romantic character. Indeed its history abounds with matter more akin to romance than fact. There are here the Pirate's Cave, Lover's Leap, the Robber's Dungeon, all within a pistol shot of each other. The story of its early Indian history is also of a most interesting character, and altogether the place is one destined to be immortal from these causes alone. In that part of the town known as 'Wood End,' there is an immense pile of stone rising perpendicularly on the side of a hill, fronting the ocean, known far and near by the name of High Rock. This granite mass is very peculiarly formed; the front rising abruptly nearly an hundred feet, while the back is deeply imbedded in the rising ground and the summit forms a plain level with the height of the hill and the adjoining plain in the rear. This spot has long been celebrated for the extended and beautiful prospect it affords. From its top which overlooks rock-bound Nahant in a Southerly direction, may be had a noble view of the Atlantic, and a breadth of coast nearly thirty miles in width. There is no spot upon our shores where the sea plays a wilder or more solemn dirge than on the rocky peninsula of Nahant; the long connecting beach is here a scene of angry commotion from the constant and heavy swells of the broad ocean. At a distance of about ten miles in the South-West lies Boston. The eye always rests upon the dense smoke that enshrouds it first, piercing which, loom up the spires of its numerous churches, and towering above them all, the noble State House is distinctly seen. Turn still more to the West and you overlook the principal portion of the manufacturing town of Lynn, with its picturesque collection of white cottages and factories, appearing of miniature dimensions. Turn again towards the North West and a few miles beyond the town of Lynn, lies the thriving little village of Saugus. A full Northern view is one of woody beauty, being a field of forest tops of almost boundless extent. In the North-East through the opening hills and trees, a glimpse is had of the water in Salem harbor, while the city itself is hid from view, reminding one of the distant view of the Adriatic from the lofty Appenines, which rise from the very gates of the lovely city of Florence. This is a slight glance at the extended prospect to be enjoyed by a visit to High Rock, at the present day, saying nothing of the pretty quiet little fishing village of Swampscot, and the panorama of sailing craft that always ornament the sea view.

In the mid-1840s, a best-selling novel, 'Fanny Campbell, The Female Pirate Captain: A Tale of The Revolution' took the country by storm. It sold more than 75,000 copies and marked the first time that a book featured a literary heroine who took charge of her own life by dressing as a man and going to sea. Fanny Campbell inspired many young girls and women of the Nineteenth Century. Now it's time for a new generation to hear Fanny's tall-tale and be inspired by her bravado and daring. To the Americans she was a Hero Privateer--to the British, a Pirate! Fanny Campbell found herself in the midst of a revolution when the British Colonies in the new world revolted against the Crown. Witnessing such rebellious acts as the Boston Tea Party and the Battle of Bunker Hill, she came of age and fell in love during perilous times. When her intended was captured and imprisoned in Cuba's La Cabana Fortress, she took to the high seas disguised as a man, commandeered a British brig, and orchestrated a daring rescue. Fighting, Pirates, rough waters, and English enemies, she commandeered two more British merchant vessels and sent a notorious Pirate ship full of buccaneers into eternity just in time to help the newly-formed American Navy with her spoils.

Fanny Campbell - die Piratenkapitänin - eine Geschichte aus der Revolutionszeit von Maturin Murray Ballou. Publiziert im Jahre 1844 war es das erste Werk in einer Reihe von beliebten Romanen des Autors, den man auch unter seinem Pseudonym Lieutenant Murray kennt. Die Popularität seiner fiktiven Heldin Fanny Campbell, die Kapitänin auf einem Piratenschiff wird, hielt noch lange nach Erscheinen des Buches an. Viele dachten (und denken auch heute noch) sie wäre eine reale Person gewesen, und gelegentlich wird sie auch so in manchen Werken über Seefahrt-Abenteurer erwähnt. Die Fantasie spielte gelegentlich verrückt, was auch kein Wunder ist. Der Autor beschreibt nicht nur ihre charakterlichen Merkmale, sondern lässt den Leser auch an ihrem erotischen Erscheinungsbild teilhaben. Dem teilt er an einer bestimmten Stelle mit, dass er, nachdem sich Fanny ihrer Kleidung entledigt hat und in dünnem Stoff zu Nachtruhe schreitet, die Gelegenheit nutzen will, sich nun auch ihren körperlichen Reizen zuzuwenden. Er findet für ihre Proportionen schließlich nur noch französisches Vokabular: 'embonpoint' [üppig, in gutem Zustand], doch alles innerhalb der zartesten Regel der Schönheit, was selbst, wie er sagt, einen asketischen Eremiten zum Schmelzen bringen würde. Der Autor wird gerne als ein 'Pionier des Pulp' bezeichnet. 'Pulp' (Pulp Fiction) bedeutet eigentlich Groschenheft-Inhalt; man meint hier aber eher das Entstehen eines Genres mit Superheldinnen, wie wir sie später als Lara Croft, Catwoman etc. kennen. Nicht das 'übliche' Piratenbuch, obwohl es auch immer wieder mal hart zur Sache geht; mit sehr viel Romantik im Stil der Zeit.
