Considering that the book "Pirateology," the story of the "discovery" of the logbook of one Captain William Lubber of the "Sea Cat" who spends his time chasing the infamous female pirate Arabella Drummond is a work of juvenile fiction, I would suggest that the name "Arabella Drummond" is also fiction. 
   
  "Publisher's note: Pirateology was allegedly found in an old sea chest by divers searching for wrecks off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland in 2006. ... Research has revealed no other traces of William Lubber, his ship The Sea Cat, or his nemesis, Arabella Drummond"--P. preceding t.p. The book was written in a fashion that simulates non-fiction. 
   
  I only know of one pirate with the name Drummond and that was Edward Drummond who later became Edward Teach (Blackbeard).

  I have a patron that is looking for info (enough for 2 page report)
about: Arabella Drummond, a female pirate. Her name does not appear in
any of the female pirate books we have here.

All I have found so far is that she is named in the book / series
"Pirateology" (which I do not have access to).

Need more info, please help.
