History[]

Rackham's Razor[]

Jack Rackham was transferred to the Sovereign after being demoted aboard the St. George after one voyage. However, the ship had to return mid voyage to deal with a mutiny that Rackham inspired. Rackham was then transferred to the HMS Humber.

Neville later discusses Rackham's history of postings and demotions, including the Sovereign, at a tavern in London.

Quotes[]
