Meet Rachel Wall

     Rachel Wall is considered by many to be the first American lady pirate. She was born in 1760.  Not only was she the first American female pirate but she was the last woman to be executed by hanging in the state of Massachusetts.  
   Rachel fell in love at sixteen to a man named George Wall who saved her from a group of girls bullying her on the waterfront.
     Rachel and George married and became pirates together. Pirate life developed a deep love of treasures for Rachel and this led to her demise.  When arrested, Rachel pleaded to be tried as a pirate but instead was tried as a robber.  She was sentenced to death by hanging in 1789.
     Rachel Wall is sculpted from paper clay.  She stands atop a brass ship anchor and is 12

inches tall. Rachel is dressed in vintage fabrics and trims. She anxiously  holds the keys to her treasure box.
