The Black Ivory was a slave ship of the Royal African Company active in the Caribbean Sea in the early 1720s, when it sailed under Captain Tom Phillips.[1]
History[edit | edit source]
In 1722, the British Templar Jeffrey Bloodworth used the ship as bait for the Assassins Edward Kenway and Adéwalé, wished to eliminate the pair using his own ship Royal Bounty while the Jackdaw and the Black Ivory were occupied with each other. However, the pirates managed to commandeer 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[edit | edit source]
"Black ivory" was a euphemism for enslaved Africans being sold in the United States.
