The Jackdaw was a ship captained by the Assassin Edward Kenway, during his time as a privateer and pirate.
History
Not much is known about the Jackdaw except that at some point during his many adventures Edward, with the help of Adewale, maneged to get the Jackdaw and its crew.
Schematics
The Jackdaw was 60 meters long, 48.5 meters high, had a width of 11.9 meters, and had 26 sails. Accompanying this, the Jackdaw initially had six cannons with additional slots for another fifty,[1] and could employ additional upgrades such as four swivel guns, explosive mines, round shot, heated shot, chain shot, and naval rams.[2] It was also equipped with a diving bell for when Edward explored the seafloor.[3]
Trivia
Like many other references to the Assassin Order involving avians, a jackdaw is a small, black bird belonging to the crow family. Coincidentally, the color of the bird's feathers themselves could also be a reference to piracy often being symbolized by black.
