“Cisne Negro!”  The call from the lookouts that would strike fear in the hearts of the captain and crew of any Spanish galleon that sailed the Caribbean waters. Cisne Negro… The Black Swan.

During the golden age of piracy, the Black Swan sailed the perilous waters of the Caribbean, leaving behind a trail of fear and admiration. Under the command of the ruthless Captain Tom Leach, this legendary ship raided Spanish trade routes and boldly faced fleets that tried to stop it. Its dark silhouette and black sails billowing in the wind were symbols of defiance, freedom, and adventure.
