The Journal of the Captain of the Unsinkable is a lore note in Windrose. It is the captain's-side log of the same prisoner-snatching mission described from below in On Prisoners. The captain wakes from cold-sweat dreams, suspects Israel Hands is feeding the prisoners to an altar, and reaches for rum to keep sleeping. The Unsinkable is Hands's flagship, the same vessel whose crew wrote the Lost Cargo Journals.
In-Game Text
Woke up in cold sweat again.
I think what Hands is looking for isn't slaves, but fresh meat for the altar.
So be it. I'm paid to do a job, not to ask questions.
We'll take some prisoners, haul them to the camp near the ruins, then set sail again. Then, repeat, if needed.
I should stock up on rum. Can't fall asleep without a drink.
Lore Notes
This page sits at the center of the game's darkest storyline. The Unsinkable is the flagship of Israel Hands, and the captain's growing dread, the prisoners hauled to a camp near the ruins, and the altar all line up with the other recovered pages. The three Lost Cargo Journals (the entries On Fools, On Hands, and On Prisoners) tell the crew's side, while a frightened bystander records the same ritual in the Decayed Diary Page. The conflict it hints at, between Hands and Thomas Richards over a stolen artifact, is the rift these notes build toward.
