Mary's grandmother was taken from their home and was tried as a witch. First, she was forced to walk between the walls of the dungeon for a day and night.

From Quiz "Pirates!" by Celia Rees

Answer: The Amelia

When he is twelve, William's father sends him off to work as a cabin boy on one of Nancy's father's ships. She is bound for Kingstown Jamaica, straight, or so William thinks.

The Sally-Anne is the ship Nancy sails for Bath on, the Deliverance is what Broom's crew later names their ship, and the Dolphin seems to be one of the most common ship's names ever.
