The Golden King's Revenge
The Golden King's Revenge, the flagship of the legendary pirate William Blackheart and his elite crew, the Blackheart 5, is a striking and formidable frigate. Crafted from rare grey ash-colored wood, the ship's hull exudes an eerie and imposing presence on the open sea. Its towering masts support sails of deep crimson red, creating a stark and intimidating contrast against the ship's ashen timbers. The Golden King's Revenge is not only a marvel of naval engineering but also a symbol of Blackheart's dominance and fearsome reputation. With a length of 165 feet and a beam of 38 feet, the frigate is designed for both speed and stability, capable of reaching impressive speeds of up to 14 knots. Equipped with an array of cannons and swivel guns, it boasts formidable firepower, while its spacious decks and holds can accommodate 180 crew members and up to 50 additional passengers. The ship's combination of haunting aesthetics, superior design, and historical significance makes it one of the most revered and feared vessels to sail the seas of Idorin.
