The whirlpool followed a [[wikipedia: Adobe Flash|Flash]] [http://images.neopets.com/pirates/maraqua.swf movie] released the previous day, in which the Pirate [[Captain Dread]], a skeletal [[Kiko]], sailed to Maraqua in a submarine. He demanded his annual 'protection money' from King Koi, the then King of Maraqua, who refused to pay (giving reasons such as a 'poor Kelp Harvest'). From the tone of this conversation, it can be assumed that Captain Dread regularly came for this money. The whirlpool is believed to be the result of a curse from this Pirate. The whirlpool, ten miles wide, lasted until the 31 May 2002, where is finally subsided to reveal the Ruins of Maraqua. | The whirlpool followed a [[wikipedia: Adobe Flash|Flash]] [http://images.neopets.com/pirates/maraqua.swf movie] released the previous day, in which the Pirate [[Captain Dread]], a skeletal [[Kiko]], sailed to Maraqua in a submarine.
