The sharp-eyed amongst you will have spotted a beautiful Pirate Queen atop the outcrop. This is none other than Lady Dulcinea Cabstanleigh. Lady Cabstanleigh was kidnapped as a young girl when attempting to travel to Maracaibo (her family have holdings there) through the Caribbean Sea. Specifically the El Pasaje Ventoso, the straits which lead to Islas de Pasaje de Vuelta. Having been taken aboard Edward Teach's ship Queen Anne's Revenge, the fair Dulcinea was put to work as a powder monkey. Protected by Teach and Israel Hands,the girl grew into a woman learning sailing and gunnery under the tutelage of these infamous pirates. When Teach received a pardon from Governor Eden in North Carolina, Lady Cabstanleigh became a Pirate Queen in her own right. Sailing her 40-gun ship Dulcinea's Revenge, Lady Cabstanleigh quickly established a reputation as one of the most dangerous sea rovers in the Caribbean.
