The crew status can be found under the healthbar

Your task now is to collect the crew for your ship. You can check out how many sailors you need and how many you currently have, on the bar under your healthbar. You can recruit in taverns,, or by saving pirates, when you notice an appropriate icon on the minimap. In those spots, pirates will be fighting soldiers, or will soon be executed. If you kill all the soldiers before all the pirates die, the survivors will join your crew. In this mission you do not need to bother with failures too much. If you have failed to save at least one pirate in one spot, soon there will appear another icon on the map, where you will find another group to rescue. Go towards any of such icon to start the recruitment process.

By countering an attack if unarmed, you get the opportunity to disarm the enemy

OPTIONAL OBJECTIVE- disarm and kill three guardsmen.

During the fights, you can complete an optional objective by killing three soldiers after disarming them. To do that, you need to be unarmed. Counter attack the enemy and, then time slows down, press the jump button to disarm the enemy and use the weapon yourself.

Kill by surprise

In a situation in which the pirates are to be shot, in spite what it may seem, it is not the speed that is the most important, but secrecy. As long as you stay in hiding, the pirates are safe. But, as soon as the soldiers spot you, they will start shooting the imprisoned immediately. Sneak up to them and kill by surprise, best by charging at them. Remember that you can take out a couple, standing next to each other, simultaneously.

Shoot through the rope

OPTIONAL OBJECTIVE- free the pirate before he is hanged

After you have collected the entire crew, go to the hanging site and shoot through the rope before you run out of time. This will provoke the nearby guards and a fight will ensue. You need to watch out, above all, for the gunner from the nearby fort. The best idea is to walk towards the door to that fort, which is on the right. Then, the musketeer will not be able to spot you from above and you can focus on shooting the nearby soldiers. Once you kill everyone, free the pirate and return to the tavern to complete this mission.

best place to find them is near taverns. Somewhere within visual range from any tavern(outdoor tavern at least).
