HMS Intrigue was a frigate in His Majesty's Royal Navy up until 1715.[1]
In that year, while transporting the Assassin Duncan Walpole to Havana, the Intrigue happened upon and attacked the Jacobite, a pirate vessel off the coast of Cape Bonavista. At first the Intrigue fared well against the pirates, but a chance gust of wind afforded the crew of the Jacobite the opportunity to open a full broadside, demasting and ultimately sinking Intrigue. However, the ship had set the Jacobite's powder magazine alight, and soon the pirate ship was sunk as well.
Of all the crew members of both ships, only Walpole and the pirate Edward Kenway survived and made it to shore.[2]
