HMS Loyalty 

My actions were not forgotten and on the next expedition I was included in the battle. I used a dark sleek black pistol, because the captain would not have my risk my life in melee combat. I became a crack-shot with the weapon and it soon earned me the nickname, Jack Pistol, which I have used as my name ever since.

The HMS Loyalty became more formidable in battle and we soon earned ourselves a reputation. We began attacking more ships and were sometimes accompanied by some of the other warships from Port Fraggue. When I was 15 summers into my life, Captain Thorn made me the new first mate after the original one had died in battle. I learnt a lot from my captain. He taught me to sail, how to steer a ship, battle maneuvers, the rigging, how to captain and gave me some excellent training with a blade.

Not long after serving as a first mate aboard the Loyalty, Captain Thorn was promoted to commodore and he was given a grander ship. To my surprise I was made captain of the HMS Loyalty, which was to serve as one of the ships in his small fleet.

I captained the HMS Loyalty successfully under Commodore Thorn on many expeditions and I grew attached with the ship. Governor Garrott gave Commodore Thorn more ships for his fleet and we started to conquer small islands and slowly our territory expanded, in the name of His Majesty.

Commodore Thorn, being the most successful man in the Navy of Port Fraggue, was promoted to admiral and put in charge of most of the fleets. My ship, the HMS Loyalty, was the second ship of the fleet after his and I was his first captain. Under him Port Fraggue’s power in the Caribbean grew and more and more islands and waters were conquered. I had settled down in Port Fraggue and enjoyed my post as the first captain of this formidable fleet, but the good times were not long lived.
