The '''''Darkqueen''''', a completely black ship with red sails, was originally the property of [[Saltar]] and the best in [[Gabool the Wild|Gabool]]'s [[Gabool's Corsairs|fleet]]. It was this ship that took over the ''[[Periwinkle]]''. When the vessel was spotted by Lord [[Rawnblade Widestripe]] he said that if Gabool ever went back to sea, it would be on the ''Darkqueen''.<br />
<br />
After Saltar's death, [[Greypatch]] and a crew of a hundred searats stole the ''Darkqueen'' and mutinied from Gabool. Enraged by this betrayal, Gabool placed a bounty on Greypatch's head; he claimed there was a vast amount of treasure on the ''Darkqueen'', and had his fleet scour the sea to find Greypatch and the ship. Greypatch sailed to [[Mossflower Woods]] and up the [[River Moss]], but left the vessel unguarded. Three hares of the [[Long Patrol]], [[Colonel Clary]], [[Brigadier Thyme]], and the [[Honorable Rosemary]], then captured it. They crippled the ship by taking off the rudder and the steering wheel and tossing all of the oars into the river with rocks tied to them. What happened to the ship after Greypatch and his comrades were defeated is unknown, but its wood may have gone towards building [[the Bell Tower]] at [[Redwall Abbey]]. <br />
