The Brewboy Jack

**The Brewboy Jack** is a legendary brigantine ship in the world of Venthalia, captained by Lasko Loggins, an influential figure within the Confederation of Free Sailors (CFS). The ship has earned a reputation as a symbol of hope, defiance, and resistance against the oppressive forces of the Kingdom of Althea and the Great Fleet of Klans. The Brewboy Jack has played a pivotal role in numerous daring missions and significant slave rescue operations. Douglas currently serves as the ship's First Mate.

## Construction

Cpt Lasko Loggins commissioned the construction of the Brewboy Jack with the intention of creating a vessel that would not only strike fear into the hearts of oppressors, while also serving as a symbol of hope and defiance against oppressive powers. Howitt Riggans, a dedicated shipwright and future Table Captain, oversaw the construction of the ship in 1091 AV, ensuring it would be a formidable force on the high seas and a testament to the undying spirit of the Confederation.

## Notable Achievements

Throughout its storied history, the Brewboy Jack has been at the center of several daring and high-profile missions, including:

* The Heist of House Henigburd in 1095 AV, one of the largest hauls in Confederation history.
* The battle of the Gilded Blade in 1099 AV, where the crews of the Brewboy Jack and the Dark Thunder engaged with the Royal Navy Man o’ War, the "Gilded Blade", sinking the vessel.
* The rescue of future CFS captain Ada Rymer from slavery in 1099 AV.
* A significant slave heist operation on a Klans plantation in 1108 AV performed by the crews of the Brewboy Jack and the Dutchwork, during which a mute teenage slave, soon to be known as Douglas, aided the crew and the subsequent liberation of the entire Klans compound in 1108 AV, leading to the freedom of over 180 slaves.

These missions have solidified the Brewboy Jack's status in pirate legend across Venthalia.

## Crew

The Brewboy Jack is renowned for its crew's loyalty, camaraderie, and bravery. Captain Lasko Loggins took pride in providing opportunities for troubled youths, offering crew positions to young Royal military defectors, criminal urchins, and freed slaves. Notable members of the crew include Cpt Ada Rymer, Cpt Taves Bartnick, and Douglas.

Ada Rymer, a former slave, served as a member of the crew before being appointed as First Mate and eventually earning her own captaincy and a seat at the Captain's Table. Taves Bartnick, an orphan from the streets of Shtic Corprius, joined the CFS in 1116 AV and was appointed as First Mate at the age of 11. He later became the youngest Table Member in Confederation history. Douglas, a mute human immigrant from Therios, was rescued during a slave rescue operation in 1108 AV. He became a trusted and loyal ally to Cpt Loggins, eventually rising to the rank of First Mate following Taves Bartnick's ascension to captaincy.

## Legacy

The Brewboy Jack, under the command of Captain Lasko Loggins, has left an indelible mark on the seas of Venthalia. The ship and its crew have come to embody the values of freedom, justice, and redemption that define the Confederation of Free Sailors. The Brewboy Jack will forever be remembered as an integral part of the Confederation's history and a driving force for change in the maritime world of Venthalia.
