Northwest Passage

Northwest Passage is an area between North America and Canada's Arctic Islands, which prominently featured a wrecked ship and an icy environment. During the American Revolutionary War, the Northwest Passage was visited by the Assassin Connor, as part of his search for the map pieces which led to the location of William Kidd's hidden treasure.

Here, Connor boarded the Octavius, the ship of Kidd's former quartermaster, Hendrick van der Heul. However, after obtaining the map piece from the dead captain's corpse, the ice beneath the ship broke and caused the vessel to sink, forcing Connor to flee.

Later, in 2012, Northwest Passage was used by the entertainment branch of Abstergo Industries, as a simulated location for the console stage of the Animus technology.
