Jacquotte Delahaye

Jacquotte Delahaye is a figure said to have been a female pirate of mixed French and Haitian descent in 17th-century Saint-Domingue, reputedly faking her own death to evade capture. However, no contemporary primary sources or historical records verify her existence, and most modern historians consider her story to be a later legend rather than documented history.
