The Black Ivory was a slave ship of the Royal African Company active in the Caribbean Sea in the early 1720s, when it was captained by Tom Phillips.[1]
History
In 1722, the vessel was used as bait for the Assassins Edward Kenway and Adéwalé by the English Templar Jeffrey Bloodworth, wished to eliminate the pair using his own ship while the Jackdaw and the Black Ivory were occupied with each other. However, the pirates managed to comandeer the Black Ivory when the surviving crew knocked out their captain, having had enough of the bloodshed. Using both ships, the pirates reached the Royal Bounty and assassinated Bloodworth in spite of his use of a Ring of Eden.[1]
Behind the scenes
"Black ivory" was a euphemism for enslaved Africans being sold in the United States.
