Unlocking Panama Canal Permit

So, ye've set yer sights on the Panama Canal, have ye? A fine ambition! 'Tis a shortcut that'll save a captain's hide from the long, treacherous haul 'round the Horn. Mark this well: the key to that lock is an Imperial Quest, a special errand for the Crown that pays in Patriot Awards.

What Ye Must Have First

They don't hand this prize to any deck-swabber. Ye must be a master of the known world. Prove it by holding permits for all the major seas and oceans, from the chill of the North Atlantic to the spice-laden Indian Ocean. Furthermore, ye must have already claimed the permits for:

• The East and West Coasts of Latin America
• Southeast Asia
• Oceania

And most crucially, ye must have discovered the ports of Panama and Portobelo with your own two eyes.

The Bounty Awaits

Beyond the glory of commanding the passage, the Crown grants a practical reward: five new slots in your bank vault. More room for yer plunder and pieces of eight!

Where to Begin

To receive your orders, seek out your nation's consul in the port of Santiago. He'll have the sealed papers for ye.

If ye hunger for the full chart—which quest to pick and the quick path through it—make way to the complete guide. I'll show ye how to seize it proper and be drinking rum in the Pacific before the tide turns.
