	This memory featured as a 5-minute [[:File:Assassin's Creed 4 Gameplay Demo - E3 2013\|gameplay demo]] for ''Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag'' at {{Wiki\|E3}} 2013. However, it differed in several ways from the final version. To start, it begins with Kenway on the beach torturing a restrained British soldier for his contact's identity by throwing [[Short blade\|knives]] at his head while Thatch and the pirates watch; this scene is not in the final memory. Jenkins in the demo wears a coat and has a full head of black hair instead of the game's depiction of him as bald and sporting a goatee with two earrings in his left ear. His conversation with Lt. Maynard keeps most of the final dialogue, but occurs in the jungle instead of in a fenced-off area just outside the pirates' encampment. The flare is guarded instead of being a deserted spot and Maynard could be killed here, which would have anachronistically prevented his later appearance on his ship. The demo stops just after Thatch and Kenway board the Man O' War and are outnumbered, preserving the nature of Thatch's death for the main game.

	In the memory presented in the game, players can [[swimming\|swim]] back to the ''Jackdaw'' and sink the Man O' War that Thatch was killed on~~, but cannot damage or sink either of the~~ two [[~~Frigate\|frigates~~]] ~~accompanying it~~.		In the memory presented in the game, players can [[swimming\|swim]] back to the ''Jackdaw'' and sink the Man O' War that Thatch was killed on. The two accompanying [[frigate]]s can also be sunk, albeit only using mortar fire.

However, it differed in several ways from the final version. To start, it begins with Kenway on the beach torturing a restrained British soldier for his contact's identity by throwing [[Short blade\|knives]] at his head while Thatch and the pirates watch; this scene is not in the final memory.
