The Amazon Galley was an East India Company merchant ship captained by the Templar Benjamin Pritchard during the early 18th century.
History[edit | edit source]
In January 1713, the Amazon Galley was accosted by the Emperor, a recently-turned pirate ship captained by Alexander Dolzell and crewed by, among others, Edward Kenway. Following Pritchard's interrogation, the Emperor's crew boarded the Amazon Galley and began to loot its cargo. Shortly thereafter, the Emperor was itself attacked by the British privateer vessel Sea Dog's Bite, captained by Edward Thatch.[1]
Still loyal to the British Crown, the privateers came to the rescue of the Amazon Galley, whose crew saw an opportunity and armed themselves, helping the privateers fight against the pirates. In the resulting battle, Pritchard was killed by Dolzell's sword, but the pirates were ultimately defeated. Thatch then organized a fist-fight between two survivors from the Emperor's crew, Edward Kenway and Blaney, with the former emerging victorious and joining Thatch's crew.[1]
