The Black Hind is a large pirate ship commanded by Captain Lawrence. She is one of the lowest earning ships that ports in Nassau.
History[]
Season One[]
Under Lawrence's command, the Black Hind one of the lowest earning captains, but also has one of the larger ships. When Eleanor Guthrie comes up with her plan of restarting her father's business minus her father, she calls in Lawrence to join her Consortium. Her plans are to take the two lowest earning ships (the Intrepid and the Black Hind) and have them move from fighting to transporting the cargo. Lawrence warns that his crew will not be happy transitioning from pirates to merchant sailors, but ultimately agrees[1].
Lawrence begins alterations to expand the ship's holds. Despite the fact that transporting cargo would be safer and more profitable, many of its crew where not happy with the idea of becoming legitimate. They defected and left the ship undermanned. To compensate to this, Eleanor worked out a deal to take some slave freed from the recently boarded Andromache and put them to work on the Black Hind, returning its crew to proper size[2].
The Black Hind is to be sent on the maiden voyage of the Consortium. Captain Lawrence is given a true manifest, false manifest, documents and bribe money. However, his departure is interrpted by the firing of Fort Nassau's guns into the Royal Lion. It is then revealed that Charles Vane has taken over the fort, and uses his position to take over Hornigold's spot in the Consortium. After an agreement is reached, Lawrence is able to leave[3].
Season Two[]
The Black Hind returns from the voyage with disappointing profits, which Lawrence explains are a result of the ill favor the Guthrie name is now held in[4].
After Eleanor's arrest by Captain Hornigold, the crew of the Black Hind scatters. It is unknown what becomes of the ship[5].
