Port Oakes

Swashbuckler 1

Location

Head to Ft. Hades in the NE portion of the zone. The plaque is on the outer wall facing west near the NW corner of the fort.

Bloody Bay

Swashbuckler 2

Location

Plaque is on the wall of a building behind some bushes about 200 yards north of Ground Zero (?).

Its coordinates are (605, 0, -150).

Description

Two of the most fearsome pirates to ply these seas were Mary Reade and Anne Bonny. So ferocious were these pirate queens that when their ship was captured in 1720, they were the only two to offer resistance. The two were captured and sentenced to death, but reprieved when it was learned they were pregnant.

Siren's Call

Swashbuckler 3

Location

Siren's Call

((Need detailed information on where to find plaque.))

Its coordinates are (-942, -157, 200).

Description

One of the cruelest pirates to roam these seas was Jean L'Olonnais. L'Olonnais hated the Spanish and murdered and tortured them every chance he got, even forcing one prisoner to ear another's heart. The pirate even commanded massive field armies and raided entire towns in the Caribbean and Rogue Isles. Eventually, the black-hearted fiend was captured by cannibals, and met a fitting end.

Nerva Archipelago

Swashbuckler 4

Location

Nerva

From the ferry in the Nerva Archipelago, leave the dock and head north along the coastline. The monument is a plaque on the side of the seawall just before it angles to the left (west) and changes from brick into cement.

Its coordinates are (3,795, 18, 7,726).

Description

Captain Kidd wasn't a pirate at all, but a 'privateer,' a captain given an official 'letter of marque' by the English government (in Kidd's case) to raid its enemies. Kidd captained the famous Adventure Galley, and only captured one lucrative prize: the Queddah Merchant. Unfortunately, the East India Company had an interest in the ship and had Kidd branded a pirate. Legend says he hid his treasure somewhere around New York, or perhaps here in Crimson Cove, before he was eventually caught and hanged.
