The Sea of Thieves Maiden Voyage is a tutorial with a hidden key - the Old Sailor's Key - used to find a secret treasure located somewhere in the area. In fact, the Sea of Thieves tutorial hides all manner of secrets across the Maiden Voyage, including the Key, numerous Commendations, and various journals left behind by the Pirate Lord, the stout old ghost that's guiding you through everything. Our walkthrough below will take you through the Maiden Voyage in Sea of Thieves, reveal everything hidden in the tutorial, and explain how to find the Old Sailor's Key for the best possible payout.

The big prize in the Sea of Thieves tutorial is a hidden treasure that requires the Old Sailor's Key to open. If you're doing the maiden voyage and haven't found it, you can discover the key to earn a one-off prize of 25,000 Gold.
The Old Sailor's Key in the tutorial is at the highest point of the island, overlooking the shipwreck. From the beach, head up the path to the wrecked ship, and climb up until you reach the deck with the fallen mast.
The mast acts as a makeshift bridge to the Island's topmost point, where there's a little pool of water and a waterfall that drops back down to the shipwreck.

In the pool itself, under water just where the waterfall begins, you can find the Old Sailor's Key buried in the sand. Dive in and pick it up.
Once you have the tutorial key, bring it back to the shipwreck you climbed up through. Fairly easy to spot is a trapdoor/hatch with a lock on it . The key will open it, and inside you can find piles of treasure, lootable for 25,000 Gold total!
Keep in mind that the lootable treasure can only be taken once. If you replay the tutorial, you can't get it again if you got it before, though if you missed the chance the first time around, you can get the treasure if you play it through again.
Do you need to play the Maiden Voyage tutorial in Sea of Thieves?
![100 maiden voyage Sea of Thieves tutorial](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/MjGfBzMucTWeyTqF9TeoDA-320-80.jpg)
While you don't have to play the tutorial in Sea of Thieves, the "Maiden Voyage" playable from the main menu, I do recommend you try it if you aren't familiar with the game . While Sea of Thieves' combat is pretty simple, ship sailing and repair is a bit more complex, as are its various UI menus. Considering the whole thing takes only 15 minutes and you can get a big load of treasure to bring into the main game if you find the Old Sailor's Key, I'd recommend doing it if you're not familiar with the game - though it's not essential.
What do you do in the Maiden Voyage in Sea of Thieves?
![100 maiden voyage Sea of Thieves maiden voyage tutorial](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/y8aQjohh643TAvxtX453MV-320-80.jpg)
The Maiden Voyage tutorial in Sea of Thieves is basically an on-rails explanation of the game's core systems - finding treasure, fighting enemies, sailing and maintaining your boat, and so on.
Though the tutorial itself is linear, there are optional secrets you can find along the way, such as the tutorial key and treasure explained above, as well as any number of secret Commendations, which we've laid out below.
![100 maiden voyage Sea of Thieves Maiden Voyage commendations](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/RsjEEGVYN3cYp5j32RfBJE-320-80.png)
There are ten total commendations to collect. Unlocking them all will also net you your first cosmetics in the game and you won't need to spend a single coin to acquire them. Those include the Pirate Lord's stylish jacket and the sails from his fabled (and now splintered) ship, the Magpie's Wing. Here's a full breakdown of the ten commendations and how to unlock each one.
- A Fine Catch. For this, you need to catch a fish. You can do this by heading to the sea or any of the inland pools of water, like the waterfall base behind you when you first begin the Maiden Voyage. Follow the on-screen prompts to learn how to fish and within about a minute you'll have earned your first commendation.
- A Hearty Meal. Now head to the shore where you'll find some wild chickens running around. Sorry to say, but you need to slash one of these feathered friends and collect the raw meat that's left behind. Now take it back to where you began the voyage. There's a campfire there. Place the chicken in the pan and let it cook. Each food item takes a different amount of time to cook. You'll want to cook them to perfection for maximum healing benefits. Hint: chicken takes 60 seconds. Remove the food when it's browned but not charred and enjoy a second commendation.
- Saluting the Pirate Lord. To "salute" the big man, you'll want to head inland to his can't-miss shipwreck. It's cut in half from the crash and you'll want to head to the left (north on your compass) half. Head up the ladder or stairs until you see the red barrel in the corner, behind a ladder. Don't worry, this one doesn't explode. It holds cannonballs. Interact with it and take some cannonballs up to the top deck. Load the cannon, aim, and fire away to earn a third commendation.
- Hidden Secrets. For this, you'll need to get into the Pirate Lord's "secret hold." We laid this out above at the section about the tutorial key.
- Yer Boat. This one requires you to operate a rowboat. You need only to do it for a moment, but it's sort of well hidden. To get there, cross the low-lying bridge separating the two landmasses. One is where you've been the whole time, with the campfire and the ship. Cross to the other side and follow the path through the rock formation which spirals down to a closed door. Pull the level to open the door and continue on the path until you see a capstan. Turn that to lower another door, which then reveals a cave exit where lies your rowboat. Sit in it and begin steering it to get the next commendation. Note that you can also swim into this cave from the point where you're exiting, but you'll want to be familiar with this area to collect some journals anyway, so it doesn't hurt to take the winding road.
- A Storied Crossing. This commendation takes the longest and requires you find all of the Pirate Lord's scattered journals around the Maiden Voyage island. Like the loot stash, we've given these journals their own section below. Look for "Sea of Thieves Pirate Lord journal locations."
- Unto the Horizon. This commendation pops automatically the first time you complete the Maiden Voyage. If you're all set collecting the journals and the hidden loot, head back to the Pirate Lord down by the beach and he'll tell you to go fix your ship. Like in the intro, just follow the on-screen prompts and in a few moments you'll sail through what is essentially a scripted preview of the otherwise unpredictable adventure that awaits you. A megalodon will swim alongside your ship, a skeleton ship will appear, and then a kraken will rise from its inky depths to swallow the skellie ship whole. As your ship sails through the Devil's Shroud and toward the Sea of Thieves, the opening title sequence appears (quite majestically, we'll add) and your commendation for completing the voyage will be unlocked.
- The Adventure Begins. This one is earned for getting all the other commendations shown above, like a Platinum Trophy. The final two commendations award cosmetics and they pop once you've earned Unto the Horizon and The Adventure Begins respectively. You can do this across multiple playthroughs, so don't worry if you didn't finish off the list in one go. Enjoy your new sails and jacket. If you still need help finding the journals or the secret cache, read on.
All Pirate Lord journal locations in the Sea of Thieves tutorial
There are 10 journals in total to find in the Maiden Voyage, and if you're interested in the lore of Sea of Thieves, they're definitely worth reading when you find each one. Here's where you can find the whole collection. They can be found in any order, but we've tried listing them in a way that flows with your playthrough should you be going for all commendations on one run.
1. Regarding Merfolk
![100 maiden voyage Sea of Thieves Maiden Voyage Regarding Merfolk](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/vtdwPzZ8zWNrhQLrXoHDuE-320-80.png)
The first journal is under water at the sight of a shipwreck right next to where you dig up your first chest as part of the tutorial. Dive in, swim under a bit of wreckage, and you'll find the first journal.
2. The Sea of the Damned
![100 maiden voyage Sea of Thieves Maiden Voyage The Sea of the Damned](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/rUSFQCpg6tvaHaDZGsELz9-320-80.png)
The next journal is behind the waterfall next to where your quest begins. You may have used this pool to fish. Swim behind the waterfall and find the next journal against the rock wall. What kind of adventure game would Sea of Thieves be without a secret behind a waterfall?
3. They Gave it a Name
![100 maiden voyage Sea of Thieves Maiden Voyage They Gave it a Name](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Xw5TEKCLZAYACdLVqkH2kK-320-80.png)
For the third journal, head to the shipwreck. On the side with the captain's wheel, you'll find the next journal sitting beside the wheel.
4. Lost Secrets
![100 maiden voyage Sea of Thieves Maiden Voyage Lost Secrets](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/2DetWzVi67ebRnhGYJGiMF-320-80.png)
The next journal isn't far at all. Simply climb to the top of the crow's nest to find it.
5. So Near and Yet...
![100 maiden voyage Sea of Thieves Maiden Voyage So Near and Yet...](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/teY4P3JvgFMVaR4Df487TB-320-80.png)
The last of three journals tucked away on the shipwreck is back on the side with the cannon. Look in the lower deck, hidden in a shadowy corner beside a pair of broken barrels.
6. My Secret Plan
![100 maiden voyage Sea of Thieves Maiden Voyage My Secret Plan](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/NrmcRGpaPRfNZui3SRHKGA-320-80.png)
This one is found in the secret hold where you found all the loot from before. If you skipped that step, scroll up and follow the steps to find the hidden loot stash to also grab the journal laying beside the riches.
7. Lords of the Sea
![100 maiden voyage Sea of Thieves Maiden Voyage Lords of the Sea](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Rqj6Nhb2yvpSGDeeJ3SX4B-320-80.png)
Head to the low bridge that connects both landmasses and look below it for a ladder. Climb down that ladder and search along the rocks beside the water for your next journal.
8. Paintings from the Past
![100 maiden voyage Sea of Thieves Maiden Voyage Paintings from the Past](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/UC8r88qe5fKbU2DtG3452D-320-80.png)
Now head back to the spiral path on the other side of the island, only this time keep heading up it, and then over some rocks, until you hit an overlook with the next journal sitting there.
9. Making Camp
![100 maiden voyage Sea of Thieves Maiden Voyage Making Camp](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/sQvfKKdHcE5wNrAtqq4rRC-320-80.png)
Now return back down to the spiral pathway, and continue down to the door with the lever that opens it. If you were chasing commendations, you may have already opened this one. Right on the other side of it is a campfire with the next journal.
10. A Ship That Fits
![100 maiden voyage Sea of Thieves Maiden Voyage A Ship That Fits](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Y52VFtymkeNcczUawzH7GG-320-80.png)
Head past the campfire and down the trail some more. Again, if you've already been here, the next door is open. If not, turn the capstan to lower the door and head in to where you either used the rowboat, or you now find one there. Turn around to see a ladder. Climb up that ladder and you'll be met with a caged wall. Along that wall is the next - and final - journal.
With all journals, commendations, cosmetics, and a big cache of free loot all collected, you've now successfully completed the Maiden Voyage to 100%. Now get out there and become Legend, or crash into some rocks, whichever comes first.

14. The next journal: "Lords of the Sea," is close to the bridge that you crossed to find an earlier journal. This eighth journal is close to a ladder and is hidden slightly in some moss and leaves. The journal is closer to the river than it is the bridge.
![100 maiden voyage Sea of Thieves - Maiden Voyage 100% Completion + Commendations image 34](https://gameplay.tips/uploads/posts/2020-06/medium/1592356654_16.jpg)

![100 maiden voyage Sea of Thieves - Maiden Voyage 100% Completion + Commendations image 36](https://gameplay.tips/uploads/posts/2020-06/medium/1592356717_17.jpg)
16. Head to the top of the wrecked land ship and find the anchor. Turn left towards the stairs and cross the mossy bridge and into the pond. In the pond lies a key to open a latch. The key, "Old Sailor's Key," is underwater and is close to the stone rock wall where you will pick it up.
![100 maiden voyage Sea of Thieves - Maiden Voyage 100% Completion + Commendations image 38](https://gameplay.tips/uploads/posts/2020-06/medium/1592356743_18.jpg)

Maiden Voyage begins with you awakening on an island and the ghostly Pirate Lord appearing in front of you. You need to eat, however, to properly talk to the Pirate Lord.
To do this open your Equipment Radial and then select the food you stored there. Once it's in hand, you can eat it and then talk to the Pirate Lord.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage66.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
He'll instruct you to retrieve the cutlass that is sticking out of the remains of a skeleton tied to a nearby tree. When you do retrieve this cutlass, the skeleton won't be too happy, so quickly destroy it with a few swipes of your blade.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage65.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
Blade in hand, meet the Pirate Lord on the shore and he'll give you a shovel, which you should immediately put away. The Pirate Lord will then ask you to retrieve some treasure for him.
To do this open up your maps and select the only one you currently have available. You can now look at this map whenever you like and continue to move about the island as you do so. Keep in mind though, you won't be able to tell where you personally are by looking at the map.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage64.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
To find the treasure head west along the beach, until you reach the area where it curves out into the sea.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage63.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
Next, follow the curved beach out towards the ruined ship at its end and stop when you reach the plant with red leaves - it's here that you'll find the buried treasure.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage62.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
With your shovel, dig up the Old Sailor's Chest and then bring it back to the Pirate Lord.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage61.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
He'll allow you to open the chest and take the equipment inside, which includes a flintlock pistol, compass, telescope, bucket and lantern.
You can now spend some time experimenting with your new weapons and equipment if you like.
This is also the time to explore Old Sailor's Isle, the island where Maiden Voyage is set, and uncover its various secrets, including a collection of hidden journals.
Once you've found every secret or simply want to continue playing the game, talk once more to the Pirate Lord and he'll open the path to the Sea of Thieves. First, however, you have to get your ship ready for the open seas.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage12.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
Swim out to your ship and board via the ladder on the side.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage11.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
Your first task is to raise the mast, which can be done by interacting with the sail length rope that is to the right-hand side of the ladder you used to board the ship with.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage10.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
Now head to the bottom deck via your cabin and collect some planks from the wood barrel you find down there.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage9.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
You can use these planks to repair the cracks around the base of the mast. You'll need to do this three times for this task to be complete.
Next, select your bucket and head back back to the bottom deck. Here you need to scoop up some of the water into your bucket and then throw it overboard, until your ship is water free.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage7.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
With that task completed, head to the topmost deck and use the capstan to raise the anchor, before returning to the sail length rope to lower the sails.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage6.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
Now you can finally head out into the open seas, using the wheel to steer the ship, so that you can follow the trail of green torches to the Sea of Thieves.
Don't let your guard down as your journey though. There will be a shark that you must avoid and, at some point, you'll encounter a skeleton ship.
To deal with this ship, you must load one of your cannons using the cannonball barrel on the deck and fire it towards your enemy. Don't worry if you miss - a kraken will take care of the ship for you.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage4.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
Eventually you'll receive the Unto the Horizons commendation, bringing Maiden Voyage and the tutorial to an end.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage1.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
If you want to access the hull of the destroyed ship in the middle of Old Sailor's Isle in the Maiden Voyage quest, you're going to need to find the key.
To do this head to the pool of water that lies in-between both ships and, once you're there, look to your left to see a pathway. This path will lead you around the left-hand side of the broken ship and up onto the hilltop where one of the broken masts rests.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage45.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
You will also find a small spring at the top of this hilltop that descends to the ground below as a waterfall.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage44.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
To find the key you need to dive underwater in this pool and swim to the rocks that form the top of the waterfall.Just in front of these rocks, you'll find the key sticking out of the dirt.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage43.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
This key may take some time to find due to it being a similar colour to the dirt that lies the base of the pool, but if you take your time, ensuring you swim slowly, you'll be able to find it.
Key in hand, return to the area that sits in-between the two broken halves of the ship. You'll want to head towards the steps that led up to the first level of the right-hand side of the ship, but don't climb these steps. Instead, look at the ground to the right hand side of this ship to see a hatch in the dirt.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage42.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
Use the key on this hatch to open the hull for the broken ship, so that you climb inside and help yourself to a selection of lost treasure like a true pirate.
Inside the hull, you'll find 25,000 Gold, 200 Doubloons and the 'My Secret Plan' journal, which you need to read as part of the A Storied Crossing commendation.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage40.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
Entering the hull will also complete the Hidden Secrets commendation.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage41.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
As you explore Old Sailor's Isle during the Maiden Voyage quest in Sea of Thieves you might come across a journal or two. There are ten journals for you to find in total during the quest and, if you find them, you'll earn the A Storied Crossing commendation.
Remember - you need to read each journal once you've found them to complete this commendation.
Below you'll find out how to find all ten journals in Maiden Voyage:
The Sea of the Damned
Just beyond the campfire where you begin Maiden Voyage, you'll find a small pool with a waterfall.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage60.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
If you swim towards this waterfall, you'll discover that there's a cave hidden behind it.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage59.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
Venture to the back of this cave and you'll find 'The Sea of the Damned.'
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage58.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
Regarding Merfolk
Beyond where you dig up the Old Sailor's Chest, you'll see a sunken ship; the hull is at the very tip of the sand dune, while the cabin is on the right-hand side.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage54.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
To find this book you need to dive into the cabin, entering through the doorway underwater and pay close attention to the sea-bed.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage53.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
In one of the topmost corners you'll find 'Regarding Merfolk.'
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage52.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
They Gave It A Name
In the middle of Old Sailor's Isle you'll find the remains of a great ship broken in half. Before you reach this ship, however, there is a path leading to the right, following this will bring you to a ladder and, once you've climbed it, you'll find yourself in the remains of a bedroom.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage57.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
Next, head up the stairs within this room to reach the top deck of the ruined ship and, by the ship's wheel, you'll find 'They Gave It A Name.'
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage56.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
Lost Secret's
After reading 'They Gave It A Name,' walk around the mast until you find the ladder attached to its side.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage51.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
Climbing this ladder will take you to the crows-nest where you'll find 'Lost Secret's.'
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage50.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
So Near and Yet...
To find this journal, climb the set of steps at the base of the right-hand side of the broken ship and then cross the bridge that connects the two halves together.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage48.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
Once you reach the other side of the boat, look to your left and you'll see a pair of barrels surrounded by leaves. At the foot of the upright barrel you'll find 'So Near and Yet...'
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage46.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
My Secret Plan
'My Secret Plan' is located in the hull of the broken ship, which is unlocked with the key you'll find as part of earning the Hidden Secrets commendation.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage39.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
Lord of the Sea
Head down the path that goes through the tunnel in-between the two halves of the broken ship and continue following it until you reach a bridge.
Rather than crossing this bridge, go to the cliffedge to your right where you'll find a ladder.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage33.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
Head down this ladder and search through the leaves to your left; amongst the ivy, you'll find the 'Lord of the Sea' journal.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage32.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
Painting from the Past
Following the path that begins in-between the two halves of the broken ship to its end will bring you to the top of the second island and there you'll find a campsite.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage31.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
Amongst the items that make up this little camp, you'll find the 'Painting from the Past' journal.
Making Camp
You'll walk past a wooden door on your journey to the top of the second island. Situated to the left of this door is a lever, which, when you pull it, will open the door.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage30.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
Beyond the doorway, you'll find another small camp and, on the floor to the left of the campfire, you'll find the 'Making Camp' journal.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage28.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
A Ship That Fits
After reading 'Making Camp' follow the pathway into the depths of the mountain, until you reach a raised bridge.
Opposite this raised bridge, you'll find a capstan, which you can use to lower the bridge and continue down the path.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage27.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
Eventually, you'll reach another closed door. This time you can raise the door using the pulley next to it.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage24.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
This will bring you into a cavern containing the rowing boat used for the Yer Boat commendation. Rather than climbing into the boat, head to your left where you'll see a ladder leading to a small ledge.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage23.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
Once you've climbed the ladder, look on at the right-hand side of the ledge and, on the ground, you'll find the last journal - 'A Ship That Fits.'
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage22.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)

![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage68.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
A Fine Catch
To earn this commendation, you have to do a spot of fishing . First, grab your fishing rod from the Equipment Reel, which is located in the second section of the reel.
Once you've got your fishing rod in hand, head to the nearest patch of water and cast out into the sea.
You'll have to wait a short while for a fish to appear, but, when you see a fish swimming and jumping around the end of your line, you'll know it's nearly time to start reeling in a fish.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage19.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
When a fish does take the bait, you need to angle your rod in the opposite direction to the one it's swimming in. This would be right if the fish is swimming left, upwards if it's fishing directly away from you or left if it's heading to the right.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage17.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
When the fish gets tired, you'll have the chance to reel it in.
You will have to repeat this process a number of times to catch a fish, but once you do so you'll receive the 'A Fine Catch' commendation.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage16.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
Just make sure you don't reel the fish in when it's moving or point the rod in the wrong direction - if you do you'll break the line and lose the fish.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage18.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
A Hearty Meal
This commendation begins with you killing one of the chickens that can be found near the campfire that you awaken by at the beginning of Maiden Voyage. You can do this by using either your cutlass or flintlock pistol.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage38.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
Once you've committed chickenide, pick up the chicken meat left behind and take it to the nearby campfire.
Now all you have to do is cook it and you'll receive the commendation.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage36.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
Saluting the Pirate Lord
For this commendation, you need to climb up the left of the broken ship, until you reach the level with the destroyed brig where you'll find a barrel of cannonballs.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage15.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
Take these cannonballs and then head up the stairs to the top floor of this part of the ship. Here you'll find a cannon and all you have to do now is load, then fire, the cannon.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage13.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
The best time to complete this commendation is just after you've read the final book, 'A Ship That Fits.'
In the same cavern where you find this book, you'll find a rowing boat. Once you've read the book, climb into the rowing boat, pick up the oars and take it for a spin.
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sea_of_thieves_maiden_voyage21.jpg?width=690&quality=75&format=jpg&auto=webp)
After a couple of minutes of rowing, you'll receive this commendation.

Maiden Voyage campaign guide - Sea of Thieves
A complete walkthrough of the Maiden Voyage, the introductory quest and tutorial in Sea of Thieves.
![Sam Chandler Sam Chandler](https://d1lss44hh2trtw.cloudfront.net/resize?height=108&type=webp&url=https%3A%2F%2Fshacknews-www.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fassets%2Fauthor%2F2024%2F02%2F26%2Fsam-chandler-profile-pic-2024-cropped_512x512.jpg&width=108&sign=2z29pPTbrqvaeuSjZT9TdjRyGrfWpxT8wMxUEc24vgU)
The Maiden Voyage will be the first thing a lot of players experience in Sea of Thieves. This short yet powerful tutorial introduces new pirates to the world, teaching them the ropes, and showing a glimpse of what’s on offer. There’s a lot to do on the small island, so we’ve prepared this Maiden Voyage campaign guide to aid you in your quest to be a pirate legend.
Maiden Voyage overview
![100 maiden voyage how to start maiden voyage sea of thieves](https://d1lss44hh2trtw.cloudfront.net/resize?type=webp&url=https%3A%2F%2Fshacknews-www.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fassets%2Feditorial%2F2020%2F01%2Fsea-of-thieves-start-maiden-voyage.jpg&width=986&sign=63Ezy_Mx4uiqaW1G98mbCHBM9UbMmGk4v9aUqbDJ-OQ)
The Maiden Voyage is a short, 15 minute tutorial set on an island just outside the Sea of Thieves. On this island, players will be introduced to the Pirate Lord, receive their weapons and equipment, and learn about how to heal and how to repair and sail a ship.
For new players, the Maiden Voyage will begin immediately after choosing a pirate. Any veteran players can also start the Maiden Voyage by launching it from the main menu.

Maiden Voyage guide
![100 maiden voyage sea of thieves maiden voyage guide](https://d1lss44hh2trtw.cloudfront.net/resize?type=webp&url=https%3A%2F%2Fshacknews-www.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fassets%2Feditorial%2F2020%2F01%2Fsea-of-thieves-maiden-voyage-guide.jpg&width=986&sign=ZlYRZ4ys-tDmMgVflZrilkbG5lreex6bsrlWtNP2IrY)
The Maiden Voyage will start players in a sandy path leading down to a beach. Ahead of them will be the Pirate Lord, ready to send you on your way. The beginning of the tutorial is pretty straight forward: eat a banana, take the sword from the skeleton and kill it, speak with the Pirate Lord to get a shovel and map.
To look at the map, either hold left bumper on the Xbox controller or Q on PC to open up the map radial. Highlight the map and then release the buttons to equip it. Hold right trigger or left click to bring the map into view. You will need to work out where the treasure is buried based on your location.
![100 maiden voyage sea of thieves maiden voyage buried treasure location](https://d1lss44hh2trtw.cloudfront.net/resize?type=webp&url=https%3A%2F%2Fshacknews-www.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fassets%2Feditorial%2F2020%2F01%2Fsea-of-thieves-maiden-voyage-buried-treasure.jpg&width=986&sign=5yTSSyRbb1Vroj8NOq7XTyU9gSJYxAsbD5HJ7YNvgPM)
Make your way to the sandy point near the shipwreck. Using the shovel, start digging in the sand where the X is marked. Digging in the correct spot will see you digging up a broken treasure chest. Take the chest back to the Pirate Lord.
A few more easy tasks must then be completed including: opening the chest and taking the equipment, swapping between weapons, using any of the equipment from the chest (lantern, hurdy-gurdy, etc). Once this is done, you can explore the island, completing commendations and the tasks found in the Maiden Voyage Tall Tale.
![100 maiden voyage sea of thieves maiden voyage fix ship](https://d1lss44hh2trtw.cloudfront.net/resize?type=webp&url=https%3A%2F%2Fshacknews-www.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fassets%2Feditorial%2F2020%2F01%2Fsea-of-thieves-maiden-voyage-fix-ship.jpg&width=986&sign=S2l5t6O6qEDvG0NGX0ToGMuzPS0QhZjIFl4KWMQVwEY)
However, the task of reaching the Sea of Thieves still awaits. Return to the Pirate Lord and speak with him to continue onwards. He will direct you to repair your ship and then set sail. Board your ship, use the pullies and lines to raise the mast. Collect wood from the resource barrel and repair the damage. Now just raise the anchor, lower the sails, and man the helm!
Hidden Secrets – Magpie’s Fortune’s hold and the lost key
One of the Tall Tale commendations in the Maiden Voyage is to open up the hold in the Magpie’s Fortune. This hidden hold is at the bottom of the shipwreck and is locked by a key. The journal titled Lost Secrets reveals that the Pirate Lord has lost the key to this hold somewhere on the island.
![100 maiden voyage sea of thieves maiden voyage key](https://d1lss44hh2trtw.cloudfront.net/resize?type=webp&url=https%3A%2F%2Fshacknews-www.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fassets%2Feditorial%2F2020%2F01%2Fsea-of-thieves-maiden-voyage-key-location.jpg&width=986&sign=s-mKTMliTBdgc0lAFOxvlcHKij9jSj7vNLpW0H_onJA)
We’ve got a detailed guide on the Maiden Voyage key location , but the short of it is that the key is near the top of the Magpie’s Fortune shipwreck. Climb to the top of the ship and jump into the pond nearby. Search under the water near the waterfall to find the key in the sand.
Take the key down to the locked hold and interact with the lock to open it up. With the trapdoor unlocked, you’ll earn the commendation and gain access to some treasure.
Maiden Voyage Journals
There are ten journals to find on Old Sailor Isle as part of the Maiden Voyage. These journals are hidden all over the island. There are journals on the Magpie’s Fortune shipwreck, tucked away in and on the tallest peak, and even scattered around the mainland.

Sam Chandler posted a new article, Maiden Voyage campaign guide - Sea of Thieves
ooo cool, thanks! ive been thinking about getting copies of this game for myself, my bro, my niece and my nephew, and do some coop hijinks on the seas. a little tutorial section would be good. is the tutorial coop at all?
![briefcase briefcase](https://www.shacknews.com/images/icons/briefcase.png)
It is a Game Pass title if you want to avoid buying the game outright.
ah, yea good point. i'll have to think about if it's better to get 4 passes, or 4 copies
![mercury mega mercury mega](https://www.shacknews.com/images/icons/mercury-mega.png)
Unfortunately the Maiden Voyage isn't coop. But it's a fairly short experience that will quickly teach everyone the basics. There's another mini quest when you actually get to the base game. It sends you around an Outpost, talking with people and shows you how to buy things. That one's only available to new pirates though!

The Maiden Voyage is very different from any other Tall Tale in the game, but it is listed as such under the Reputation Menu with its own Commendations , Rewards and Titles .
The main difference is that this Tall Tale is a solo adventure and cannot be voted on. Instead, players are tasked with completing this voyage after creating their pirate in the Infinite Pirate Generator and before setting sail to the Sea of Thieves . The Maiden Voyage can always be replayed from the Main Menu, where there is a designated button for the voyage in the bottom-right corner.
The Maiden Voyage
![100 maiden voyage 100 maiden voyage](https://seaofthieves.wiki.gg/images/thumb/d/d1/Old_Sailor%27s_Isle.png/250px-Old_Sailor%27s_Isle.png)
The main NPC related to this Tale is the ghostly Pirate Lord himself, guiding the player through the main aspects of the game on Old Sailor's Isle , a large island hidden in the Devil's Shroud .
Players are introduced to eating food , fighting with weapons , using equipment items and a X Marks the Spot Map to dig up an Old Sailor's Chest , maintaining a Sloop 's mast , repairs , sails , anchor and wheel and shooting cannons .
After all of these actions are performed, the player can then sail through the Devil's Shroud towards The Sea of Thieves .
Pirate Lord Dialogue
Pirate Lord
You look a little worse for wear, my friend. You must be on quite the journey. I should eat something, if I were you. A full belly can do wonders for your spirits. Once you're in good health, we'll speak properly.
After eating the Banana
There, you look better already. Maybe even strong enough to reach the Sea of Thieves. These days they call me The Pirate Lord, but back when I discovered this place I was just a bold explorer like you. I dreamt of finding uncharted waters filled with treasures and rife with danger, where every sunrise brought a new adventure... You've been brave to make it this far. Not many do. Now you've one last crossing to make. You'll want some trusty steel at your side, though. There's a sword in those trees whose owner doesn't seem to need it any more.
After receiving the Cutlass
There's far more to being a pirate than a blade in your hand and a love of other people's money. It's about finding your way through ancient caverns by lamplight, digging up long-lost treasures... ... and raising a frothing great tankard of grog when you live to tell the tale! For all of that, you'll need the right equipment. You can start by taking this old shovel.
After taking the Shovel
I stowed a few belongings around here back in the day. The map will show you the way.
After giving the Old Sailor's Chest to the Pirate Lord
Ah, my old chest! Let's see if she still hides her secrets.
After switching to the Flintlock
A fine weapon. She'll serve you well out there.
After you are done with your Equipment
There! Now you look like a true pirate. There's plenty more to see, so why not stretch your legs and explore? I'll be here when you're ready to leave.
Once you are ready to leave
Well now, I'd say you're as ready as you'll ever be for what's ahead. Allow me to show you the path... The Shroud is beginning to part, but you have one more task before your journey continues. You may be ready to sail, but your ship still needs repairs. Go, and tend to her wounds!
Once you set sail
With your ship fully restored, passage through the Shroud now beckons. Take care on this dangerous last leg of your Voyage. Threats of all shapes and sizes lurk in this murky fog. Keep the wind in your sails and an eye on that horizon and I'm sure you'll have no trouble. Once you make it through, I will be waiting for you. A world of adventure beckons!
After fully completing Maiden Voyage for the first time
Welcome to the Sea of Thieves! Open waters, beautiful islands and wondrous treasures await you. You now share these waters with other pirates, each on their own journeys through our world. Their motives won't always be the same as yours, so keep a close eye on that horizon and make sure that nobody catches you by surprise. Now let's get you on the waves, your first step to becoming a Pirate Legend, up to any challenge, no matter the danger! Battling nightmarish foes, navigating untamed seas, following trails of clues to lost treasure. You must be ready for this. And more! The trading companies will test your abilities in a myriad of ways! Master what they have to offer and claim your Legendary status. So, take a look at that quest table there. This is your gateway to adventure on these waters!
Other Interactions
Cooking and fishing.
In addition to the base mechanics, Old Sailor's Isle is hiding the introduction to a couple of additional mechanics, hinted at in the Maiden Voyage Commendations , hidden in the Tall Tales section of the Reputation Menu.
Curious players can learn the cooking of food, by either killing any of the island's chicken for meat , or catching some fish with a fishing rod (which by itself is introduced when taking out the fishing rod item) and putting these food items on a campfire . There are two campfires on Old Sailor's Isle , one right by where the player spawns near the Pirate Lord , and another hidden inside a Cave.
Cannon Fire
Players are taught how to use the Cannons once they are aboard their Sloop , however attentive players will find an additional Cannon on the shipwreck of the Magpie's Fortune with a handful of Cannonballs in the Cannonball Barrel below. Here, players are taught that they can not only shoot Cannonballs out of Cannons, but also themselves!
The Rowboat Cave
At the island with the tallest peak, players will find a closed-off door with a Lever to open it. This will lead players to a hidden Cave with an additional Campfire and two steps of interactable objects to reveal the Cave's final secret. Players will need to drop a drawbridge by using a Capstan and then use a Pulley to lift another wooden door. This will lead players to a lonely Rowboat with a complete tutorial on how to use these small vessels.
Despite being a tutorial island, Old Sailor's Isle has quite a few secrets hidden away, which are all hinted at in the Maiden Voyage Commendations . The most notable secret is the rowboat cave described above, however, there are still a few hidden valuables on the island. Upon careful searching, players can find up to 10 journals hidden away on Old Sailor's Isle , which are all documented with their locations in the "Journals" section below.
The ultimate hidden secret of Old Sailor's Isle is the Pirate Lord 's Hideout below the Magpie's Fortune. A more attentive player can find that there is a locked hatch below the massive shipwreck, seemly requiring a key.
Pirate Lord's Journals
There are 10 journals written by the Pirate Lord that are hidden on Old Sailor's Isle during the Maiden Voyage. All 10 of these Journals have to be found and read for A Storied Crossing Commendation . The Journal transcriptions are presented below, with the Expand button showing the exact locations of each Journal. Reading these Journals is also part of Seasons ' Trials.
Regarding Merfolk
Inside the cabin of the shipwreck found on the northwest point of the island.
![100 maiden voyage Dialogue icon.png](https://seaofthieves.wiki.gg/images/thumb/e/e4/Dialogue_icon.png/52px-Dialogue_icon.png)
A new landmark! This stricken ship certainly wasn't here during my last visit. There's no sign of her crew, so perhaps they fell overboard and met their end. Things are very different on the Sea of Thieves — thanks in no small part to my own adventures, I must confess. We have an... arrangement... with the merfolk who live deep under the waves. Should any pirate become lost at sea, stranded, they'll help them back to their ship. If you should find yourself flung overboard, traveller, look for the merfolk's beacon before the sharks get your scent. You'll be glad you did!
![100 maiden voyage MVj01.png](https://seaofthieves.wiki.gg/images/thumb/c/cf/MVj01.png/500px-MVj01.png)
The Sea of the Damned
In the cave hidden behind the waterfall found southwest of the campfire along the starting path.
Not all my journeys to this island are happy ones. Today I stumbled onto this poor soul, map still in their hands. To think, they were so close... No matter how swiftly we sail or how sharp our aim, it is only a matter of time before the Reaper's hand clamps down upon our shoulder. I am fortunate to have had a friend with wisdom enough to know this. Thanks to her, I live on beyond my years... at least in spirit. For younger pirates, another hope presents itself. When they perish, their souls are saved from drifting alone through the Sea of the Damned. If you should die on the Sea of Thieves and find yourself in the Ferryman's company, know this: he deserves your respect, for he has made the greatest sacrifice of all...
![100 maiden voyage MVj02.png](https://seaofthieves.wiki.gg/images/thumb/f/fd/MVj02.png/500px-MVj02.png)
They Gave It a Name
On the railing to the right of the Magpie's Fortune' s wheel .
'The Sea of Thieves'. That's what they're calling it nowadays. The genie is out of the bottle, and more pirates are finding their way there every day. Some are looking to hide — from their enemies, from their pasts, from the Grand Maritime Union - while others have heard the call to adventure. It's only a matter of time before they reach this island, too. Maybe they'll be dreaming about all the Sea of Thieves has to offer, just as I was. If that's the shape of things to come, I'd be a fool to complain. Instead, I'll stow a few supplies around the place for those who need them. Things work differently beyond the Shroud. Better, for the most part, but newcomers will have to think on their feet if they're to survive.
![100 maiden voyage MVj03.png](https://seaofthieves.wiki.gg/images/thumb/3/38/MVj03.png/500px-MVj03.png)
Lost Secrets
On the railing of the Magpie's Fortune' s Crow's Nest .
Blast it all! The key to my ship's hold is missing. It must have slipped from my pocket at some point in my time here. Between this and that business with Rathbone, I'm developing a bad habit of losing the keys to my belongings. Perhaps it made its bid for freedom from my jacket when I climbed up for a drink of fresh spring water. It's another lost treasure now.
![100 maiden voyage MVj04.png](https://seaofthieves.wiki.gg/images/thumb/e/e4/MVj04.png/500px-MVj04.png)
So Near and Yet...
Resting next to the broken barrels on the lowest level of the front half of the Magpie's Fortune .
You've really done it this time, Ramsey. It's one thing to return to your favourite island and quite another to wreck your ship at the heart of it! I was bound to get careless sooner or later. This place has been my little secret for so long now. I couldn't wait to get back here. To dream... I'm so close to the Shroud, I feel like I could reach out and touch it. I'm not ready to sport a hook for a hand, though. Not yet, anyway! What lies on the other side? Piles of glittering gems? Huge leviathans the size of galleons? Even better... Might there be a future for pirates like me? Next time, things will be different. I'll visit Magpie, the Shipwright, and buy a new vessel. Take my time, find a crew. We shall sail together.
![100 maiden voyage MVj05.png](https://seaofthieves.wiki.gg/images/thumb/2/24/MVj05.png/500px-MVj05.png)
The Lords of the Sea
Resting on a rock in foliage to the left of the ladder by the bridge below the shipwreck's bowsprit.
Once, long ago, I was standing atop these cliffs and staring out to sea, quite lost in my own thoughts. Suddenly, there was an almighty crashing sound. It was a kraken, and one of the largest I'd seen for quite some years! I was so startled, I couldn't help but take a leap backwards in surprise. Once I'd picked myself up, battered and bloody, I decided to install this ladder in case any future visitors took a tumble in the same way. Nowadays, thanks to that fool Merrick, krakens aren't the only sea monsters to watch for. Megalodons are once more roaming freely beneath the waves. They can prove quite the challenge even for experienced pirates. Why, I once battled a monstrous pale skinned beast at—well, I'll save that tale for another time.
![100 maiden voyage MVj06.png](https://seaofthieves.wiki.gg/images/thumb/1/1d/MVj06.png/500px-MVj06.png)
Paintings from the Past
On the ground atop the peak of the second island, near a stool and rock painting.
Of all the unsolved mysteries that haunt my dreams, none are more tantalising than the long-lost people known to pirates as 'The Ancients'. Their legacy can be felt all across the Sea of Thieves, from ruins that lurk under deep waters to clifftop paintings that shame my humbler efforts. They clearly had a great wealth of knowledge and had mastered many curses and other arcane powers... and yet, something drove them to leave. Maybe some great war or calamity struck their civilisation? Perhaps it was simply time for them to move on. The truth, as it always has, eludes us all.
![100 maiden voyage MVj07.png](https://seaofthieves.wiki.gg/images/thumb/4/46/MVj07.png/500px-MVj07.png)
Making Camp
In a crate by the campfire inside a gated-off cave found along the tunnel through the tallest peak. Use the nearby lever to access the cave.
Even with all the wonders I've experienced, it's the simple things in life remain the most enjoyable. Tonight, that's a hot meal roasted over a roaring fire. Fresh fruit's all well and good, but if you take the time to properly prepare a meal, you'll feel all the better for it. The trick is to keep an eye on the dish and serve it up when it's perfectly cooked. No amount of grog can wash away the taste of burned food. With care and a bit of practice, even a humble splashtail can keep a pirate in good health with a full belly. At least they're good for something!
![100 maiden voyage MVj08.png](https://seaofthieves.wiki.gg/images/thumb/7/78/MVj08.png/500px-MVj08.png)
A Ship That Fits
Found by following the path past the campfire where "Making Camp" is found down into the lowest area with the rowboat. The journal is up on a ledge near a grate and ladder to the left if entering the cave from the gated path.
We've all seen what happens when huge armadas try to make it through the Devil's Shroud, and it's not pretty. Screaming sailors and splintered ships. I learned long ago that smaller crews have a better chance of making it along the twisting routes that provide safe passage to the Sea of Thieves. A lone traveller is best served by a sloop. They're small and nimble, though their size comes at the expense of firepower. Larger crews must learn to sail a brigantine, or even the mighty galleon - a commanding sight with her eight cannons and three great sails. Then, of course, we have the humble rowboat. These tiny craft can be carried by the other larger ships and are perfect for retaining the element of surprise...
![100 maiden voyage MVj09.png](https://seaofthieves.wiki.gg/images/thumb/6/63/MVj09.png/500px-MVj09.png)
My Secret Plan
Resting on a stool inside the locked hold of the Magpie's Fortune . See the secrets section above on how to access it.
If you're reading this, you've broken into my strongbox, which makes you a worthy pirate indeed! Worthy enough to hear my plan. Transforming this old stomping ground of mine into a safe haven for travellers has sparked something deep within my soul. It is the flame of an idea — a great tavern, far more magnificent than the usual pubs and alehouses, known only to truly legendary pirates. A den that sold only the finest plunder, where hardened adventurers and cunning sea dogs could meet to swap stories of gold and glory. If you make it to the Sea of Thieves, and should your heart desire a real challenge, heed my words: seek Athena's Fortune. I shall be waiting.

Titanic Maiden Voyage
Introduction.
Following her prestigious launch in front of a crowd of around 100,000 spectators and a throng of excited reporters, Titanic began her maiden journey, first collecting the passengers sailing – and even migrating – to America. It was a voyage that would end in disaster amidst the ice-strewn waters of the Atlantic. Read on for a comprehensive summary of the facts about this tragic trip.
Above: Footage of RMS Titanic leaving for her maiden voyage in 1912.
471 miles – the distance of the journey to deliver Titanic from Belfast – the city in which she was built – to Southampton, England – the city from which her maiden voyage would commence.
Where did the Titanic leave from?
Although Titanic initially sailed from Belfast (where she was built) to Southampton, her maiden voyage is considered to have begun in Southampton.
02 April 1912 – the date that Titanic set sail from Belfast to Southampton.
Southampton
6 – the number of days that the Titanic was at rest in Southampton, before the start of her maiden voyage to New York.
![100 maiden voyage The Titanic at Southampton at the beginning of her maiden voyage.](https://titanicfacts.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/titanic-at-southampton.jpg)
Above: The Titanic at Southampton at the beginning of her maiden voyage.
05 April 1912 – the date Titanic was briefly opened for viewing by the paying public, two days after sailing to Southampton. The ship was “dressed overall”, with flags and pennants hung from the rigging in a salute to the people of the city.
07:30 am – the time Captain Smith arrived on board on the morning of the maiden journey, along with the crew. The officers were already on board, having spent the previous night on the ship.
2 – the number of lifeboats employed in a brief safety drill, conducted at 08:00 am; starboard lifeboats 11 and 12.
Where was Titanic going?
The Titanic was on her maiden voyage, a return trip from Britain to America. The outward route was to be Southampton, England – Cherbourg, France – Queenstown, Ireland – New York, USA. The return route was going to be New York – Plymouth, England – Cherbourg – Southampton.
09:30 am – the time the second- and third-class boat trains began to arrive and passengers started to board the Titanic.
11:30 am – the time that the first-class boat train arrived from London.
Did You Know?
At the time of her maiden voyage a coal strike was on, and so coal for Titanic had to be scavenged from other company ships.
06 April 1912 – the date that the strike was ended, however there would not be time to deliver enough coal to Southampton docks before Titanic set sail on her maiden voyage.
84 miles – the length of the first leg of the journey, from Southampton to Cherbourg, France.
12.00 pm – the time Titanic cast off from Southampton Dock, towed out into the River Test by tugboats.
4 feet – the margin by which a collision with the USMS New York was averted, when the undertow from the much larger Titanic caused the smaller boat to be sucked toward the ship, snapping the six mooring ropes holding the New York in place.
60 minutes – the approximate time that departure was delayed by this incident, sailing finally resuming at 1pm.
04:00 pm – the time the boat train from Paris arrived in Cherbourg, around 90 minutes before passengers could be ferried out to the delayed Titanic.
22 – the number of cross-channel passengers who disembarked in Cherbourg.
274 – the number of passengers who boarded at Cherbourg.
08:10 pm – the time Titanic departed Cherbourg and set sail for Queenstown (now known as Cobh) in Ireland.
307 miles – the length of the next stage, from Cherbourg to Queenstown, Ireland.
Queenstown (Cobh)
11:30 am – the time Titanic dropped anchor in Queenstown, on the morning of 11th of April 1912, about 2 miles offshore.
7 – the number of passengers who disembarked in Ireland.
123 – the number of passengers who boarded at Queenstown (3 first-class, 7 second-class and 113 third-class ticket-holders).
63 – the number of male passengers who boarded in Ireland.
60 – the number of female passengers who came aboard.
2 – the number of tenders that ferried the passengers from Heartbreak Jetty to Titanic; they were named PS Ireland and PS America.
1,385 – the number of bags of mail delivered on board during the Queenstown stop.
01:30 pm – the time Titanic raised anchor and set sail on her first and last transatlantic crossing.
The Atlantic Ocean
2,825 miles – the intended distance of the longest leg of the voyage, from Queenstown to New York, USA.
137 hours – the anticipated journey time sailing from Queenstown to New York City.
How many people boarded the Titanic?
There were 2,223 people aboard Titanic for her maiden trip, 1,324 passengers and 908 crew.
116 – the typical number of hours taken to cover the same distance by the Titanic’s rivals, the Cunard liners Lusitania and Mauritania (the idea that the Titanic captain ignored the iceberg warnings because he was trying to set a new time record is just one of the many Titanic myths that endures).
Above: The route of the voyage of the Titanic and the location of her sinking.
4 – days into the crossing when the collision with the iceberg occurred.
How much were Titanic ticket prices?
The average cost for a First Class berth was $150 (£30). A parlour suite would have set you back the princelier sum of $4,350 (£875).
The average cost of a berth in Standard (Second) Class was $60 (£12).
The average cost of a Steerage (Third) Class berth was $15-$40 (£3-£8).
3 – the intended number of legs planned for Titanic’s return voyage (New York to Plymouth to Cherbourg to Southampton).
As she set sail on her maiden voyage, some interior work was still to be completed. For example, some areas of the ship were without heating, whilst others were too hot. A team of nine Harland & Wolff employees, including the ship’s designer, Thomas Andrews, sailed as members of a guarantee group, tasked with ensuring any problems were attended to. All died in the sinking.

The Maiden Voyage can always be accessed from the Main Menu.
The Maiden Voyage is very different from any other Tall Tale in game, but it listed as such under the Reputation Menu with its own Commendations , Rewards and Titles .
The main difference is that this Tall Tale is a Solo adventure and cannot be voted on. Instead, Players are tasked with completing this Voyage after creating their Pirate in the Infinite Pirate Generator and before setting sail to the Sea of Thieves . The Maiden Voyage can always be replayed from the Main Menu, where there is a designated button for the Voyage in the bottom-right corner.

The Old Sailor's Isle on the Map.
The main NPC related to this Tale is the ghostly Pirate Lord himself, guiding the Player through the main aspects of the game on Old Sailor’s Isle , a Large Island hidden in the Devil’s Shroud .
Players are introduced to Eating Food , fighting with Weapons , using Equipment items and a Treasure Map to dig up an Old Sailor's Chest , maintaining a Sloop ’s Mast , Repairs , Sails , Anchor and Wheel and shooting Cannons .
After all of these actions are performed, the Player can then sail through the Devil’s Shroud towards The Sea of Thieves .
Pirate Lord Dialogue [ ]
Pirate Lord
You look a little worse for wear, my friend. You must be on quite the journey. I should eat something, if I were you. A full belly can do wonders for your spirits. Once you’re in good health, we’ll speak properly.
After eating the Banana
There, you look better already. Maybe even strong enough to reach the Sea of Thieves. These days they call me The Pirate Lord, but back when I discovered this place I was just a bold explorer like you. I dreamt of finding uncharted waters filled with treasures and rife with danger, where every sunrise brought a new adventure… You’ve been brave to make it this far. Not many do. Now you’ve one last crossing to make. You’ll want some trusty steel at your side, though. There’s a sword in those trees whose owner doesn’t seem to need it any more.
After receiving the Cutlass
There’s far more to being a pirate than a blade in your hand and a love of other people’s money. It’s about finding your way through ancient caverns by lamplight, digging up long-lost treasures… … and raising a frothing great tankard of grog when you live to tell the tale! For all of that, you’ll need the right equipment. You can start by taking this old shovel.
After taking the Shovel
I stowed a few belongings around here back in the day. The map will show you the way.
After giving the Old Sailor's Chest to the Pirate Lord
Ah, my old chest! Let’s see if she still hides her secrets.
After switching to the Flintlock
A fine weapon. She’ll serve you well out there.
After you are done with your Equipment
There! Now you look like a true pirate. There’s plenty more to see, so why not stretch your legs and explore? I’ll be here when you’re ready to leave.
Once you are ready to leave
Well now, I’d say you’re as ready as you’ll ever be for what’s ahead. Allow me to show you the path… The Shroud is beginning to part, but you have one more task before your journey continues. You may be ready to sail, but your ship still needs repairs. Go, and tend to her wounds!
Other Interactions [ ]
Cooking and fishing [ ].
In addition to the base mechanics, Old Sailor’s Isle is hiding the introduction to a couple of additional mechanics, hinted at in the Maiden Voyage Commendations , hidden in the Tall Tales section of the Reputation Menu.
Curious players can learn the Cooking of food, by either killing any of the Island’s Chicken for Meat , or catching some Fish with a Fishing Rod (which by itself is introduced when taking out the Fishing Rod Item) and putting these Food items on a Campfire . There are two Campfires on Old Sailor’s Isle , one right by where the Player spawns near the Pirate Lord , and another hidden inside a Cave.
Cannon Fire [ ]
Players are taught how to use the Cannons once they are aboard their Sloop , however attentive players will find an additional Cannon on the shipwreck of the Magpie’s Fortune with a handful of Cannonballs in the Cannonball Barrel below. Here, players are taught that they can not only shoot Cannonballs out of Cannons, but also themselves!
The Rowboat Cave [ ]
At the Island with the tallest Peak, players will find a closed off door with a Lever to open it. This will lead players to a hidden Cave with an additional Campfire and two steps of interactable objects to reveal the Cave’s final secret. The Player will need to drop a drawbridge by using a Capstan and then use a Pulley to lift another wooden door. This will lead players to a lonely Rowboat with a complete tutorial on how to use these small vessels.
Secrets [ ]
Despite being a Tutorial Island, Old Sailor’s Isle has quite a few secrets hidden away, which are all hinted at in the Maiden Voyage Commendations . The most notable Secret is the Rowboat Cave described above, however there are still a few hidden valuables on the Island. Upon careful searching, players can find up to 10 Journals hidden away on Old Sailor’s Isle , which are all documented with their locations at the Journal subsection below.
The ultimate hidden secret of Old Sailor’s Isle, is the Pirate Lord ’s Hideout below the Magpie’s Fortune. A more attentive player can find that there is a locked hatch below the massive shipwreck, seemly requiring a key.
One of the hidden Journals hints to the location of the key.
The Journal you are looking for is hidden on the Shipwreck of Magpie’s wing. Look towards the skies!
The Old Sailor’s Key was dropped in the fresh-water pond that is above the shipwreck of Magpie’s Fortune. It is underwater along the edge of the waterfall.
![100 maiden voyage I found the hint, but I couldn't find the key.](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/seaofthieves_gamepedia/images/e/e3/Old_Sailor%E2%80%99s_Key_1.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/534?cb=20191211194557)
Once unlocked, Players can find the final Journal and 3 chests of Gold worth 25,000!
Pirate Lord's Journals [ ]
There are 10 Journals written by the Pirate Lord that are hidden on Old Sailor’s Isle during the Maiden Voyage. All 10 of these Journals have to be found and read for A Storied Crossing Commendation . The Journal transcriptions are presented below, with the Expand button showing the exact locations of each Journal. Reading these Journals are also part of Seasons ' Trials.

A new landmark! This stricken ship certainly wasn't here during my last visit. There's no sign of her crew, so perhaps they fell overboard and met their end. Things are very different on the Sea of Thieves — thanks in no small part to my own adventures, I must confess. We have an… arrangement… with the merfolk who live deep under the waves. Should any pirate become lost at sea, stranded, they'll help them back to their ship. If you should find yourself flung overboard, traveler, look for the merfolk's beacon before the sharks get your scent. You'll be glad you did!

The Sea of the Damned [ ]
In the cave behind the waterfall southwest of the campfire .
Not all my journeys to this island are happy ones. Today I stumbled onto this poor soul, map still in their hands. To think, they were so close… No matter how swiftly we sail or how sharp our aim, it is only a matter of time before the Reaper's hand clamps down upon our shoulder. I am fortunate to have had a friend with wisdom enough to know this. Thanks to her, I live on beyond my years… at least in spirit. For younger pirates, another hope presents itself. When they perish, their souls are saved from drifting alone through the Sea of the Damned. If you should die on the Sea of Thieves and find yourself in the Ferryman's company, know this: he deserves your respect, for he has made the greatest sacrifice of all...
![100 maiden voyage MVj02](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/seaofthieves_gamepedia/images/f/fd/MVj02.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/500?cb=20191211194530)
They Gave It a Name [ ]
On the railing to the right of the shipwreck Magpie's Fortune's wheel .
'The Sea of Thieves'. That's what they're calling it nowadays. The genie is out of the bottle, and more pirates are finding their way there every day. Some are looking to hide — from their enemies, from their pasts, from the Grand Maritime Union - while others have heard the call to adventure. It's only a matter of time before they reach this island, too. Maybe they'll be dreaming about the Sea of Thieves has to offer, just as I was. If that's the shape of things to come, I'd be a fool to complain. Instead, I'll stow a few supplies around the place for those who need them. Things work differently beyond the Shroud. Better, for the most part, but newcomers will have to think on their feet if they're to survive.
![100 maiden voyage MVj03](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/seaofthieves_gamepedia/images/3/38/MVj03.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/500?cb=20191211194532)
Lost Secrets [ ]
On the railing of the shipwreck Magpie’s Fortune's crow's nest .
Blast it all! The key to my ship's hold is missing. It must have slipped from my pocket at some point in my time here. Between this and that business with Rathbone, I'm developing a bad habit of losing the keys to my belongings. Perhaps it made its bid for freedom from my jacket when I climbed up for a drink of fresh spring water. It's another lost treasure now.
![100 maiden voyage MVj04](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/seaofthieves_gamepedia/images/e/e4/MVj04.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/500?cb=20191212155133)
So Near and Yet… [ ]
Resting next to the broken barrels on the lowest level of the front half of the shipwreck Magpie’s Fortune.
You've really done it this time, Ramsey. It's one thing to return to your favorite island and quite another to wreck your ship at the heart of it! I was bound to get careless sooner or later. This place has been my little secret for so long now. I couldn't wait to get back here. To dream… I'm so close to the Shroud, I feel like I could reach out and touch it. I'm not ready to sport a hook for a hand, though. Not yet, anyway! What lies on the other side? Piles of glittering gems? Huge leviathans the size of galleons? Even better… Might there be a future for pirates like me? Next time, things will be different. I'll visit Magpie, the Shipwright, and buy a new vessel. Take my time, find a crew. We shall sail together.
![100 maiden voyage MVj05](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/seaofthieves_gamepedia/images/2/24/MVj05.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/500?cb=20191211194537)
The Lords of the Sea [ ]
Resting on a rock in foliage to the left of the ladder under the bridge below the shipwreck’s bowsprit.
Once, long ago, I was standing atop these cliffs and staring out to sea, quite lost in my own thoughts. Suddenly, there was an almighty crashing sound. It was a kraken, and one of the largest I'd seen for quite some years! I was so startled, I couldn't help but take a leap backwards in surprise. Once I'd picked myself up, battered and bloody, I decided to install this ladder in case any future visitors took a tumble in the same way. Nowadays, thanks to that fool Merrick, krakens aren't the only sea monsters to watch for. Megalodons are once more roaming freely beneath the waves. They can prove quite the challenge even for experienced pirates. Why, I once battled a monstrous pale skinned beast at—well, I'll save that tale for another time.
![100 maiden voyage MVj06](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/seaofthieves_gamepedia/images/1/1d/MVj06.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/500?cb=20191211194539)
Paintings from the Past [ ]
At the camp near the peak of the second island.
Of all the unsolved mysteries that haunt my dreams, none are more tantalizing than the long-lost people known to pirates as 'The Ancients'. Their legacy can be felt all across the Sea of Thieves, from ruins that lurk under deep waters to clifftop paintings that shame my humbler efforts. They clearly had a great wealth of knowledge and had mastered many curses and other arcane powers… and yet, something drove them to leave. Maybe some great war or calamity struck their civilization? Perhaps it was simply time for them to move on. The truth, as it always has, eludes us all.
![100 maiden voyage MVj07](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/seaofthieves_gamepedia/images/4/46/MVj07.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/500?cb=20191211194540)
Making Camp [ ]
In a crate by the campfire inside the cave below the tallest peak. Follow the path up from the bridge and use the lever by the portcullis to access the cave.
Even with all the wonders I've experienced, it's the simple things in life remain the most enjoyable. Tonight, that's a hot meal roasted over a roaring fire. Fresh fruit's all well and good, but if you take the time to properly prepare a meal, you'll feel all the better for it. The trick is to keep an eye on the dish and serve it up when it's perfectly cooked. No amount of grog can wash away the taste of burned food. With care and a bit of practice, even a humble splashtail can keep a pirate in good health with a full belly. At least they're good for something!
![100 maiden voyage MVj08](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/seaofthieves_gamepedia/images/7/78/MVj08.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/500?cb=20191211194542)
A Ship That Fits [ ]
Follow the path past the campfire down into the Rowboat cave. The journal is up near the grate to the left upon entering the cave.
We've all seen what happens when huge armadas try to make it through the Devil's Shroud, and it's not pretty. Screaming sailors and splintered ships. I learned long ago that smaller crews have a better chance of making it along the twisting routes that provide safe passage to the Sea of Thieves. A lone traveler is best served by a sloop. They're small and nimble, though their size comes at the expense of firepower. Larger crews must learn to sail a brigantine, or even the mighty galleon - a commanding sight with her eight cannons and three great sails. Then, of course, we have the humble rowboat. These tiny craft can be carried by the other larger ships and are perfect for retaining the element of surprise…
![100 maiden voyage MVj09](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/seaofthieves_gamepedia/images/6/63/MVj09.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/500?cb=20191211194545)
My Secret Plan [ ]
Resting on a stool inside the Pirate Lord’s Hideout. See the Secrets section above on how to access the Hideout.
If you're reading this, you've broken into my strongbox, which makes you a worthy pirate indeed! Worthy enough to hear my plan. Transforming this old stomping ground of mine into a safe haven for travelers has sparked something deep within my soul. It is the flame of an idea — a great tavern, far more magnificent than the usual pubs and alehouses, known only to truly legendary pirates. A den that sold only the finest plunder, where hardened adventurers and cunning sea dogs could meet to swap stories of gold and glory. If you make it to the Sea of Thieves, and should your heart desire a real challenge, heed my words: seek Athena's Fortune. I shall be waiting.
![100 maiden voyage MVj10](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/seaofthieves_gamepedia/images/9/95/MVj10.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/500?cb=20191211194547)

- What is a Maiden Voyage?
![100 maiden voyage The Titanic famously sank on its maiden voyage.](https://www.worldatlas.com/r/w1200/upload/c6/eb/4f/shutterstock-783936175.jpg)
The term maiden voyage refers to the first expedition made by a vessel after its performance has been tested. The term has also been used to mean a person’s first time doing something. Before a ship’s maiden voyage, a bottle of alcohol (usually champagne) is broken over the ship’s bow for good luck. The history associated with maiden voyages dates back to ancient times with ancient civilizations having special ceremonies to invoke their gods to protect them on long ocean voyages. The ancients brought shrines into their ships, and the tradition proceeded long into the Middle Ages. Most ships have successful maiden voyages; however, some have been tragic, with the most famous being the RMS Titanic.
Notable Maiden Voyages
The rms titanic.
The RMS Titanic was one of the world’s most famous ships not only because it was the largest ship at the time of its completion but also because it met a tragic end during its maiden voyage. The owners of the Titanic chose to forego the traditional elaborate ship launching ceremony. The ship’s maiden voyage began on April 10, 1912, under the command of Captain Edward Smith with about 2,224 people on board. Two days after the ship’s launch at around 11:40 pm the ship struck an iceberg on the starboard side which allowed water to get into the ship. The ship took around 2 hours and 40 minutes to completely sink with the death toll estimated at more than 1,500 people. Most of the deaths were due to the ship’s crew not being adequately prepared for such an event and the ship not having enough lifeboats.
Launched on June 10, 1875, the Mohawk was owned by William T. Garner and was the largest racing yacht of the time at 140 feet. The yacht’s doomed maiden voyage began on July 20, 1876, off Staten Island with the entire Garner family on board. A sudden violent gust of wind struck the yacht making it capsize. The accident had no survivor as everyone on board drowned. The yacht was later recovered and renamed the Eagre. The Eagre participated in a survey of the Nantucket Shoals led by Lieutenant E.M. Hughes.
The Vasa was constructed at the command of King Gustavus Adolphus as the flagship of the standby regiment. The ship was under the command of Captain Sofring Hansson who received the command to set sail on the ship’s maiden voyage on August 10, 1628, from Alvsnabben. After a journey of approximately 4,200 feet to Tegelviken, water began filling the ship from the open gun ports. A strong wind had filled the ship’s sails, and because it was unstable, it was unable to right itself when forced on the port side. Thirty people died in spite of all the efforts of ships nearby. The ship was salvaged in 1961 and is now a major tourist attraction.
Safety Standards on Present-day Vessels
To prevent a catastrophic loss of life on a transport vessel stringent safety requirements have been set up. All ships are required to have enough lifeboats for all the people on board and the crew expected to be trained on proper evacuation procedures. Transport vessels are only certified once they have proven to have met all the required safety measures.
