The Treasure Fleet of 1715 was a convoy of Spanish warships that had departed from Havana, Cuba – in the Caribbean – and was destined for their home country of Spain.
Seven days after their departure, the Fleet hit a tropical storm which destroyed eleven of its twelve vessels. The surviving ship was a brig known as El Dorado, which has been stolen by the pirates Edward Kenway and Adéwalé, during their escape from imprisonment aboard one of the fleet's ships. After the escape, Kenway took the ship as his own, and rechristened it the Jackdaw.
