Guybrush and his crew, hard at work to get the
Sea Monkey to its destination
is the ship originally used by
Herman Toothrot and his
buddy to try to discover the fabled
Secret of
Monkey Island. While on Monkey Island, Herman's buddy accidentally hangs himself forcing Herman to train a group of monkeys to sail back to
Mêlée Island to get help. These monkeys allegedly sold the ship to
Stan, though he doesn't explicitly state whether the story is true or not.
Guybrush ends up buying the ship in order to go after LeChuck. The whole of Part II in The Secret of Monkey Island is spent on the ship. While on Monkey Island the player has the option of sinking the Sea Monkey.
The Name
The name comes from an American pet-product for young children which is intended to train them in taking care of a pet before they are allowed to have, for instance, a goldfish.
