Cumberland Bay
Cumberland Bay is an island in the Caribbean, located along the southern shore of Cuba, with a group of sandbars to the east that often inhibit naval movement around the island. The island itself consists of two large rock formations covered in foliage, and a shallow lagoon between them.[1]
History
At some point during Edward Kenway's career as a pirate in the early 18th century, the island was under control of a group of Templar privateers. Edward accepted a contract from the Assassin Brotherhood to eliminate the Templar captain, liberating the bay.[2]
In 1737, the bay's waters became the site of a battle between the Experto Crede, captained by the Assassin Adéwalé, and a slave ship's escorts. Although Adéwalé succeeded in sinking the escorts, the slave ship itself had been fired upon by its escorts to ensure that its cargo, the slaves, did not survive. Graves were later dug on the island by Augustin Dieufort and the Maroons to honor those that had failed to escape the sinking vessel.[3]
