Sign on to be part of Captain Hawkins' crew
From Create Your Own Story
You track down Captain Hawkins. "I hear you're looking for crew," you say, sitting next to the captain in the seedy tavern you're meeting him in.
"Are you volunteering for the job?" Captain Hawkins replies, with a laugh.
"Yes, indeed," you respond.
"So, what experience do you have with ships?" is the captain's next question.
"Well," you say, "I once..."
"This will not be an easy voyage, men," Captain Hawkins proclaims. "But I trust all of you to do your jobs. Now let's raise the anchor and set sail!"
The anchor is raised and the ship Swooping Hawk heads out to sea.
"What do you think we should do, Second Mate O'Brien?" the captain asks. "We can sell the ship when we get to Jamaica, split the proceeds among the crew, and make a new life on the island. Or we could agree to transport a cargo of slaves to the port of Charleston on the Chesapeake Bay."
"What do you think, Captain?" you respond.
"Either one sounds good to me," he laughs. "Jamaica is a lovely place. But we can make 1,000 American dollars per crewman if we successfully transport the slaves."
- Suggest that the captain sell the ship and settle in Jamaica
- Suggest that the captain agree to transport the slaves
