What's the name of LeChuck's ghost ship?

Adventure/Lucasfilm Games

Does anyone know?

I’ve seen the ship again in the “Return to Monkey Island” teaser/art and I have realized that I never knew its name.

Just to clarify: I mean the ghost ship in MI1, not other ships used by LeChuck in other (apocryphal) games.

Assuming MI2’s cover takes place on LeChuck’s ship, and given how the wood is carved, I suppose it’s called Purcell :stuck_out_tongue:

Bob Purcell, as it was his ship originally

But his first name is behind one of the ropes

Mhm… Or maybe Purcell was Bob’s significant other? You don’t name your ship after yourself.

By the way, in the dialect of my hometown “purcell” literally means “nice little pig”.

Ah no…
They’re crayons!
Purcell doesn’t draw very well :sweat_smile: :wink:
I thought the non-toxic cigarettes were a red herring, like some of articles in the newspaper (like the zipper diet and the kissing bigfoot)

Ahah, yes, non-toxic crayons! But effectively, that box could be misplaced for a box of cigarettes!

They’re obviously the world-famous “non-toxic Purcell cigaretts”.

:sweat_smile:

Still no idea to this date what the thing is below the word “bread” (above the oxygen tank):
A toilet seat? A giant magnet?

A roll of duct tape?
