Royal Fortune: Difference between revisions

The Royal Fortune was a Man O' War captained by the pirate and Sage Bartholomew Roberts from 1719 to 1722. Before that, the ship was known as Nosso Senhor da Compreensão, and formed a part of the Portuguese Navy.

She was captured by the pirates Roberts and Edward Kenway off the coast of Mexico in 1719, and Roberts retained control of the Royal Fortune for three years, until Kenway pursued him to Príncipe in order to retrieve the Crystal Skull in Roberts' possession. Upon seeing Kenway approaching, Roberts jumped from a cliff onto the Fortune to try to escape.

While the Fortune was bigger and had more guns, it was slower than the Jackdaw, allowing Kenway to catch up with it. After reaching the open sea, the Royal Fortune came under attack from the Royal Navy and Spanish Navy, both of which were also after Roberts. The Jackdaw disabled the ship, allowing Kenway to board it, kill Roberts, and retrieve the skull.

Trivia

Nosso Senhor da Compreensão is Portuguese for "Our Lord of Understanding".
The Fortune was one of the few vessels that could fire from the stern, hitting ships behind her.
