Fort Phoenix
Fort Phoenix was an abandoned fort. It was located on the coast not far from Martha's Vineyard.[1]
In 1773, Templars had taken refuge in Fort Phoenix, from where British ships stalked and destroyed civilian Colonial vessels, such as merchant ships. They often sailed around Martha's Vineyard, endangering the trade route.[1]
The Assassins Connor and Robert Faulkner sailed the Aquila to the trade route to destroy the British fleet. They followed several escaping ships, which went back to Fort Phoenix. When they came closer, mortars were fired from the fort, and the Aquila returned fire, destroying the towers and rendering the fort harmless.[1]

Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
Historically, Fort Phoenix wasn't built until 1775 and was unnamed at the time. Originally held by the Patriots, it was briefly occupied by the British in 1778. It didn't get the name Fort Phoenix until 1784.[2]
