The Jackdaw was a brig captained by the pirate and later Assassin, Edward Kenway, which he obtained with the help of his quartermaster Adéwalé, during his time in the West Indies. Upon securing it, Kenway renamed the vessel Jackdaw, after the bird of the same name.
Before Kenway's captaincy, the ship existed in the Spanish Treasure Fleet as El Dorado.[1]
Procurement
After Edward Kenway was placed on a ship in the fleet bound for Spain, he met with Adéwalé, who freed Edward from leg irons and assisted him in incapacitating the guards until the pirate retrieved his equipment.
Following this, the pair helped to secure a crew together from other prisoners by elimitating their Spanish captors, before they set their sights on a brig in the fleet, El Dorado, and made their way to relinquish it. Susequently, Kenway used the pirates he freed to help sail the ship from the fleet under the cover of a hurricane, successfully escaping the natural disaster while the pursuing ships were sunk in the storm.
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 fourty, and could employ additional upgrades to other functions such as the Jackdaw's four swivel guns, fire barrels, round shot, heated shot, chain shot, mortars, and naval ram. It was also equipped with a diving bell for when Edward explored various underwater wrecks.[1]
The Jackdaw was also fitted with a whaling rowboat and harpoons, which allowed Edward to hunt for whales and sharks.
Crew
- Edward Kenway
- Adéwalé (until 1721-22)
- Anne Bonny
- Numerous unnamed pirates
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.
- Darby McDevitt mentioned the Jackdaw's name was also a reference to the fable of the Eagle and the Jackdaw.[2]
- The former name of the ship, El Dorado, is Spanish for "the gilded one; the golden".
