Benjamin (ship)

The Benjamin beached in the Santanillas

The Benjamin was a schooner - one of many - owned and operated by the pirate Benjamin Hornigold during the early 18th century.

In 1718, Hornigold's Benjamin and Edward Thatch's Queen Anne's Revenge attacked a British Man O' War in order to obtain medicines for the settlement at Nassau. During the engagement, Benjamin was severely damaged.

One year later, the newly Templar affiliated Hornigold was pursued by Edward Kenway, who forced the Benjamin to run aground on the Santanillas.

Trivia

• The Benjamin was extremely powerful for a schooner, being more akin to a frigate in terms of damage that it could deal and take.
• During the memory "This Old Cove", Mary Read departed the Great Inagua on a vessel identical to the Benjamin.
