The year is 1623. An unusual ship, {{% badge style="primary" icon="anchor" %}}The Purple Pulpo{{% /badge %}}, emerges from the foggy sea, its sails dyed a brilliant purple that dazzles friend and foe alike. Cunning merchants whisper about a legendary octopus figurehead carved from driftwood—some say it dances under moonlight to ward off pesky sea ghosts (and suspicious tax collectors).

## Myths and Rumors
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Though many debate its authenticity, rumor has it the captain once successfully traded a shipload of questionable sea cucumbers for a cargo of prized purple velvet. The hue of the velvet supposedly matched the exact shade of the boat—thus reinforcing its flamboyant reputation.

### Possible Explanations
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1. A wizard was on board, casting color illusions for fun.
|
|||
|
|
2. The purple paint was accidentally created by mixing octopus ink into the ship’s pigment.
|
|||
|
|
3. Too much wine spilled on deck over _many_ voyages. (Captain’s favorite theory.)

The clash at sea was more of a fashion show than a naval battle -- onlookers cheered for hours, forgetting they were late for dinner.
