Geocache Description:

Arabella Drummond, was a pirate and enemy of Captain William Lubber. She attacked The Phoenix, captured it and renamed it The Sea Cat. She headed to Hispaniola and then to North Carolina, a few hours too late to save her brother, Blackbeard. She angrily commited piracy up and down the east coast of North America before being chased around the world by Captain Lubber. Her status after the scuttling of The Sea Cat is unknown, though she wanted to set up a hotel.
