Title
Shouldn't this article be called 'The Jackdaw'? It is always referred to as that as other ships were/are. (for example The Titanic) -- Altaïr 18:51, March 4, 2013 (UTC)
- Aquila, Vulture, Windermere, Leviathan, Randolph. It is how we've named all our ship articles. Nesty Contact me! 19:46, March 4, 2013 (UTC)
- Should probably point out that ships are never entitled "The xxx" unless the "The" is a part of the name. For example: "Jack Smith was on Titanic when it sunk." You might say that Edward Kenway was captain of the Jackdaw, but the vessels name has no "the" in it. --Jasca Ducato Council Chamber Assassination record 14:04, March 8, 2013 (UTC)
Name
Does anyone know of any inspiration for the name? I know that that "Jackdaw" is a type of crow, but I'm not 100% sure if that's relevant. Crimson Knight Intercom 19:39, March 4, 2013 (UTC)
Jackdaw, is a passerine bird in the crow family. Something that makes it connect with birds.--ACsenior (talk) 20:13, March 4, 2013 (UTC)
Considering there's an article naming Edward as a Welshman, it might be pertinent that in Welsh folk lore, jackdaws are considered sacred (nesting in church steeples keeping it safe from the devil). "I have no more knowledge of the fact than the Devil has of the jackdaw," goes a saying. ;) Sadelyrate (talk) 20:20, March 4, 2013 (UTC)
Jackdaw vs. Aquila
I wonder who would win in a fight, Jackdaw or the Aquila... Mysteries... >:3 PatriotJager150 (talk) 22:45, May 11, 2013 (UTC)PatriotJager150
They wouldn't fight, they're both captained by an Assassin. Slate Vesper (talk) 22:46, May 11, 2013 (UTC)
Plus, ships don't fight. Unless they're Transformers. --Crimson Knight Intercom 22:49, May 11, 2013 (UTC)
- Talk pages are meant to discuss the articles itself. For other stuff, like this, use the forums. Nesty Contact me! 08:55, May 12, 2013 (UTC)
Trivia
Would it be worth mentioning in the trivia that the jackdaw bird is sacred in Welsh folklore?
