The Aquila was a Continental Navy vessel, captained by the Assassin Connor Kenway during the American Revolutionary War. The ship was used to sail across the Eastern Seaboard of North America and the Caribbean Sea,[1] and to trade with overseas merchants.[2]
The vessel's broadside cannons could be loaded with five types of projectiles; including the standard round shots, chain-shots to disable enemy ships, grapeshot, shrapnel shells, and heated shots to start fires.[3]
The Aquila was also armed with swivel cannons[3] that could be used to kill specific targets, such as another ship's captain or gunpowder reservoir.[4] It could also be customized with various color schemes. [2]
