The Prince of Trantio awarded this cutlass to Sloppy Cruickshank, the Admiral of the Royal Navy at the time, for his skill in battle. Immediately after receiving this great boon, Cruickshank set the palace ablaze, stole the fastest ship in the fleet, and began his life of piracy on the high seas. Being Sloppy CruickshankÕs favourite weapon, this cutlass made the pirate captain the toast of a hundred drinking dens.
