This just means that the kid had homosexual tendencies and wanted to volunteer to be the "cabin boy" for any pirate that would take him.
You are really sick. What makes you post such a thing?

We need a link to that site that gives you your pirate name. LOL! I don't remember the link, but I do remember my pirate name: Dirty Morgan RACK-em!

If the boy were alive today, he'd be hailed as an urban hero. Like Tookie Williams.

Ah, looks like a sort of cleaned up version of Mary Read or Anne Bonney. . . female pirates.
One of them used to dress as a boy before she went to sea, but I think that was to keep her master (she was an indentured servant) from bothering her.
Illustration is by Trina Schart Hyman BTW. Not a bad illustrator at all. Did a great "St. George and the Dragon".

A pretty interesting article for the Boston Globe. Thanks for posting it. It's too bad so many people aren't interested in history anymore. I guess it's one of those "Me, me, me" things.

Wrong Pirate, It was Capt. Ned of the Raging Queen. You're confused.

To heck with the "history", i'll take the gold or silver!
