'''Jenkins''' is captain of a ship named the ''[[Milka]]'', with which he runs various nefarious cargoes in and out of any port he can. His boat has smuggling compartments and a notorious crew, including his first mate Mr [[Scoplett]]. Jenkins has his comeuppance when he tangles with Commander [[Sam Vimes]], who takes command of his boat, strips it of everything weighty (including lifeboats, anchors, cargo...) and chases after [[71-hour Ahmed]] in it.

The captain is renowned for carrying cargoes that are a bit off - cabbages full of caterpillars, offal going a bit green, that sort of thing. However, he probably took it a bit too far when he was caught taking a hold full of crossbows to [[Klatch]] during the build-up to war in {{J}}.

== ==
In the game [[Discworld Noir]], he stays at the [[Café Ankh]] when he arrives [[Ankh-Morpork]]. He helps [[Inspector Lewton|Lewton]] by giving him some clues when interrogated.

==Annotations==
Jenkins may have received his name from {{wp|Jenkins'_Ear|Robert Jenkins}}, whose ship was boarded by the Spanish Coastguard 1731 and resulted in the cutting off of Jenkins ear after an accusation of piracy. The incident was used as a ''casus belli'' in 1738 to justify the war between England and Spain most commonly known as the War of Jenkins' Ear.
