HMS Intrigue was a frigate in His Majesty's Royal Navy up until 1715.
That year, while transporting the Assassin Duncan Walpole to Havana, the Intrigue happened upon and attacked the Jacobite, a pirate vessel captained by Abel Bramah, off the coast of Cape Bonavista. At first the Intrigue fared well against the pirates, but a lightning strike and a chance gust of wind afforded the crew of the Jacobite the opportunity to land a full broadside, demasting and ultimately sinking the Intrigue.[1]
However, the ship had set the Jacobite's gunpowder magazine alight, and soon the pirate ship was sunk as well. Of all the crew members from both ships, only Walpole and the pirate Edward Kenway survived and made it to shore.[1]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
HMS Intrigue is erroneously referred to as a Man O' War in the Assassin's Creed Encyclopedia.
