The Fenghuang (鳳凰) was the flagship of the Zhang Wei Union, operating in the South China Sea during the 18th century.
History
Fenghuang was originally a Chinese junk captained by a band of pirates operating in the Paracel Islands. It was captured by Edward Kenway and his company while on a mission for the Dutch East India Company to cleanse the island of pirates. After being brought back to Macau, Edward was allowed to keep the ship due to a promise made by the company's chief navigator Jan van Aert. Making use of the loot gained from the Paracel Island pirates, the Zhang Wei Union were able to purchase a plot of land by a harbor to operate and store their ship.[1]
Repairs and upgrades were then began under the direction of the union's engineer Yun Pyeong-Gyu, who installed a number of new armaments such as European-style cannons used in Joseon modified by Yun himself, swivel guns that has increased caliber, and several volley guns.[1]
