Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the first name of the Captain of the Pequod's wife?

Answer: Patience

Prudence is what the Captain and Patience name their new baby, which Jacky helps birth, and Increase is their son and also Ishmael's brother.
2. When Jacky is bathing at the inn, does she dub her left knee Gibraltar and her right one Morocco?

Answer: No

She names them Gibraltar and North Africa, and then makes soapsuds into "ships," which sail between the two countries. One of the soapsuds is the Raleigh, and the ship where Davy is onboard, and it runs into "mighty Gibraltar," but the one Jaimy is on, the Essex, sails smoothly by. Though if Jacky had already been to the racecourse by then, I'm sure she would have sunk it.
3. Which crewmember of the Wolverine uses the boat hook to try and catch Jacky?

Answer: Joseph Jared

Jared reveals this to Jacky when she first meets him while he is on lookout. Jacky says she can feel herself reddening because it pulled her pants down. Billy Barnes is the man who Jacky nearly caused to drown; John Harper was one of the men aboard the Dolphin; and Joshua Langley is the handsome young man that Captain Scroggs hits with his cane.
4. In what drawer of her desk does Mrs. Fletcher keep all of the letters Jacky sent to Jaimy?

Answer: Third drawer, right side

The maid, Hattie, is the one who finally tells Jaimy where the letters are being kept. Mrs. Fletcher has just fired Hattie because she told Jacky that Jaimy was at the racecourse, and that's why Hattie decides to tell Jaimy about the letters. Jaimy is overjoyed that Jacky still cares about him.
5. How many daughters does Drake, the Master-at-Arms, say he has?

Answer: He doesn't specify

At first Peter Drake does not believe that Jacky will be able to learn to fence, but she shows him that she's not going to give up. After a while, Drake gives Jacky her own sword and gives, "I have daughters, Miss" as a bit of an explanation. Jacky names her sword Persephone.
6. Jacky tells Captain Delaney (Liam) that the Emerald is, "Sound as a drum, with new ________ on her bottom." What word fills in the blank?

Answer: Copper

Copper compounds are put on the hulls of ships to help keep the growth of barnacles and other things down, and need to be replaced periodically.
7. Which of the following names is NOT mentioned as the name of one of the Emerald's guns?

Answer: Bloodspiller

The crewmen take white paint and give their guns names, most of which are in Gaelic, though Liam translates them for Jacky.
8. What kind of ship is the Emerald?

Answer: A brigantine bark

Jacky says, "The Emerald is a brigantine bark, in that the mainsail is a fore-and-aft sail called the spanker rather than square rigged. She's a bit too long for a proper brigantine, but with her sail rig she has to be named as one."
9. What song does Jacky hum while dividing the Marquis' jewels between him and herself?

Answer: None of these

Jacky is actually humming "La Marseillaise," the French national anthem. None of the other song titles would really make sense.
10. Ian McConnaughey must be taking lessons from Arthur McBride in which of the following subjects?

Answer: Foolishness

When Mairead is found after stowing away, Liam asks Arthur and Ian if they knew of this. Ian says, "No, but I wish I did." Jacky thinks that he must be taking lessons in foolishness from Arthur, who just said that Mairead is "Ian's piece, anyway."
11. Does Mairead teach Jackys grandfather to say, "Page seven-hundred and fifty-three, you ignorant Irish clods" in Gaelic?

Answer: Yes

"Apparently Padriac was seen talking to a local girl in the afternoon-out on the quay-when they went walking for a bit and they was seen by some local boys," says Reilly. Then that night at the inn the boys told Arthur and Ian to leave their girls alone.

A fight broke out, and Ian and Arthur were thrown in jail. Jacky plans to have her grandfather-dressed as a priest-give them a bible with a note on page seven-hundred and fifty-three telling them what to do and what time to expect their rescue.
12. Which of the following does Jacky make the key for her cell door out of?

Answer: A bent fork

Jacky asks to be able to "bathe and clothe herself in private," and Captain Trumbull gives permission. Jacky chooses Jaimy's berth (noticing the miniature of herself on the wall), then looks through his dresser and finds a fork in his old mess kit from the Dolphin. That is what she bends to fit into the keyhole of her jail cell.
13. Who lets Jacky take one of the lifeboats during the fight, even though he recognizes her?

Answer: Jared

Jacky says, "Good-bye and thank you, Joseph Jared. Thank you for saving my life one more time." Jared replies, "Good-bye, Lieutenant. I'll collect my thanks from you when next we meet." Which probably means a kiss or two, in his mind.
14. Which of the following Midshipmen is killed in the battle?

Answer: Ned Barrows

Higgins carries Georgie up from below decks, his jacket stained red with blood. Georgie is still alive and says to Jacky, "I stood up, Jacky. I did. I...I stood up," and then he faints. Tam Tucker is only a Ship's Boy, not a Midshipman.
15. After Jacky uses semaphore signals so spell out B O S T O N, Jaimy manages to sign a single letter before the hulk of a burning ship comes between them. What letter does he sign?

Answer: I

I wish Jaimy had been able to spell out his entire message, but it might have been "I love you," or "I'll find you."
