[ARR] Where???  *grabs a mace*

I much preferred [RUM] - Salt was a far higher quality of pirate.

I found this while going through some old hard drives...  a Toast to Salt [RUM], subtitled "Salt TitanBreaker"

"This craft, she is the finest!"
the shipbuilder declared aloud.
"Unstoppable, unsinkable!
Boardable? Unthinkable!"
His chest stuck out, most proud.

"My men have toiled long and hard,
and the results ye now do see
For this craft now moored in Skara Docks
This craft - immune to sharks and rocks,
will rule the waves with impunity!"

The ship, she towered above them all,
seven masts rising high into the clouds.
Standing proud, defying the waves,
declaring sea beasts errant knaves,
under the awed gaze of the gathering crowds.

"She'll sail her maiden voyage at dawn!"
The shipbuilder did decree.
"She's yours Cap'n, she'll do ye proud!"
The shipbuilder doffed his cap and bowed,
to the Admiral of the royal navy.

Dawn came with much fanfare,
as the crowds gathered for the launch.
To see this craft, unnamed as yet,
as her crew boarded, ready sail to set,
with the Admiral, looking most staunch.

"I christen thee Titan One, and end thy name in 'C'"
For 'C' is what we sail upon,
and where we shall make our name!
Come now lads, off to find our fame!
And with that, O'er the horizon they were gone.

On they sailed, for nights and days,
leaving many a dead pirate in their wake,
Until one day, they passed Ice Isle,
where in a grey tower, they caused a smile,
Aye, this was their grave mistake.

For to sail so boldly past the home of RUM,
and their fearsome captain Salt,
was something only the most foolish of men,
would ever do if they hoped to sail again.
And so the pirates planned their assault.

Ship after ship launched from the pirates hold,
the sea seemed to tremble as they came.
Salt Foambreaker leading the attack,
with so many craft, the sea's blue seemed black.,
The captain shrugged. "All pirates die just the same."

But nay, these were not as other buccaneers,
they did not fall with such great ease.
The cannons roared, spells and arrows flew,
men screamed and died, the captains words they rue.
For the Royal Navy did not own these seas.

And so, the mighty ship, she sank,
the crew went down in almighty panic.
And thus it seems, the lesson learned,
no matter what the shipbuilder earned,
never head towards ice on the Titan 1 C.
