Velvet Lady

Ship captained by William Astley, and later on, by Jack Taylor after his mutiny (see their pages for more details).

After the ship drifted back to Portsmouth in 1873, it fell under police custody for the duration of the investigation, with official matters being handled by Detective Fairhollow.

Unknown to the authorities, the ship became home to a large number of tormented ghosts as a result of Jack Taylor's depravities, including Mother Zeal. The Krewe liberated a good number of them.

The ship was later returned to their rightful owners, but due to his interests occupying him, William did not return to captaincy for the time being.
