[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 7092010, member: 20323"] So, here's what I remember from my notes. I think Nia ( [MENTION=4936]Shayuri[/MENTION] ) dug this information up... [I]The Coral Curse [/I]was once under the command of the (in)famous Dutch dwarven Captain Piet Hein Van Djik, who is based on the historical figure [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piet_Pieterszoon_Hein]Pieter Pietersen Hein[/url]. The ship definitely used slave labor, judging from the rumors and your brief visit to the beached vessel during the day and seeing chains, but whether it was entirely a slave ship or just used slave labor in its mercantile ventures is unclear. It became a hospital ship when the crew were afflicted with yellow fever, and was severely damaged in a battle with French Naval Captain Jacques Cassard. The circumstances of that battle are shrouded in mystery, and likely only Piet Hein or his former crew knows the truth. [I]The Coral Curse[/I] is currently beached in the port of Nassau, and none dared touch her for fear she is haunted by a djab (dark spirit). The ship is owned by Blackbeard, who has agreed to transfer title to Katerina in exchange for recovery of a treasure of supposedly dead French villainous pirate Francois L'Ollonais. I can't remember how much [B]Nia[/B] knew, but I think there were implications that the presence of the djab Yellow Jack was due to slaves onboard [I]The Coral Curse[/I] disagreeing with a decision the captain Piet Hein made...
