The Desolation was the fourth known ship built by King Whitson Mariner in Natalia. It was named for Burnley of Black Star Company before being renamed to Desolation by King Whitson Mariner, following the Grimbles' betrayal.

History[]

The Wreck and Rise of Whitson Mariner[]

The Burnley was one of the flagship vessels to depart Ayman Lake in search of a new home for King Whitson Mariner's rabbits. It traveled in the company two other vessels, Steadfast and Vanguard. The Grimbles, in control of Burnley, purposefully wrecked Vanguard, an action that prompted the king to rename Burnley to Desolation.

Under Grimble's command, Desolation returns to the dragons' island come evening. Whitson quickly holds a hurried conference with his captains, during which he explains his plan.

Queen Lillie and Lander, followed by a few others, swim for shore as the rest prepare for battle. The crew of Steadfast feign continuous mistakes, allowing Desolation to quickly gain on them. Whitson orders Brindle Cove to pull hard to port, then back to starboard so that the ship is now aimed squarely at Desolation; the bow of Steadfast crashes right into the bigger ship's side. Though momentarily stunned, Grimble soon regains control and sends his bucks onto the decks of Steadfast, but they find the deck empty.

Just then, a buck spots a group of actively burning blastpowder barrels in the corner of the deck, and most of Grimble's crew abandons ship in their panic. Grimble, however, breaks open the barrels to find them all empty. Suddenly, Whitson and his crew surge on deck, and a fierce battle ensues, with Whitson and Grimble dueling one another.

Just as Grimble is about to bring the final blow, he stops when finding himself surrounded by Whitson's supporters. Jimmi Docker brings an oar around into Grimble's face, successfully knocking the younger rabbit out cold.
