Returning home, Tintin discovers a rolled-up parchment hidden under furniture, on which is a part of a riddle that points to the location of treasure, and he realises that this must have been hidden in the mast that Snowy broke.Īfter informing Haddock about the riddle, the captain tells him of how Sir Francis Haddock is shown the treasure of the infamous pirate captain Red Rackham somewhere in the West Indies, before killing him in single combat and blowing up his ship. Later the model ship is stolen, and it is revealed that Sakharine owns an identical model of the Unicorn, although this is also stolen as well. Repairing it, and showing the ship to Haddock, the latter is amazed that it is actually a model of the The Unicorn, a 17th-century warship captained by his ancestor, Sir Francis Haddock. Returning home with the model, Snowy knocks it over and its mainmast broke. Two strangers, a model ship collector Ivan Ivanovitch Sakharine and a mysterious figure known only as Barnaby, unsuccessfully try to convince Tintin to sell the model to them. While browsing in a market in Brussels, Tintin buys an old model ship with which he intends to give to his friend Captain Haddock as a gift.
