I originally saw the movies in Italian and they somehow bungled the translation of Jack's reply to the Italian for: "The world's all the same, it's everything else that's gotten smaller".

[@jakespacepiratee3740]

One thing I want to mention about the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise is that despite what some might say, all of the movies follow a consistent moral and theme. Jack is a Pirate, and a good person. In every one of the movies, he has a chance to gain incredible power through some type of magical object, the Cursed Azetc coin, Davy Jones Heart, the Fountain of Life, the Trident of Posideon. In every single Pirates movie, he turns these objects down to save someone else he cares about. Thats the moral of these movies, and its been consistently present in every film.

The Black Pearl. A ship so infamous and with so much character, sunk several times raised by unknown means, literally traveled between the realm of the dead and the living.

I like how you describe Barbossa's brief moments of mortality as "tragedy" because indeed, if you aren't looking through the eyes of Jack as the protagonist, it is rather tragic that Barbossa spent ten years trying to become mortal again, only to die a mere five seconds after achieving this goal.

[@Dylan_Neal_13]

Another excellent video, however there is one small inaccuracy and it is something that seems to confuse many people as they are somewhat similar ships. The design of the Black Pearl is not actually based upon a Galleon but rather another type of large armed merchant ship, the East Indiamen. The design of the Pearl is specifically an East Indiamen of the early to mid 18th century which fits the setting well and would be a relatively common ship for the period, where as the Galleon is a ship more common from the early 16th century to the late 17th century, though Spain would continue to use large Manila Galleons until the very early 19th century. East Indiamen were meant to sail the long voyages to the East Indies to bring back spices, tea, and other goods all while being well armed enough to see off most pirate threats as they would often sail unescorted with these high value cargos. The period for PotC is set between 1727 and 1760 as the reigning British monarch is George II as seen in the fourth film, and at this time an East Indiamen would be a far more common sight plying the seas in this period than the Galleon which the East Indiamen is actually an evolution of.

I think she may be partly based on a real ship, The Adventure Galley which was the ship of real life British pirate Captain William Kidd. In particular, the fact that she had oars they could run out for extra speed and allow them to sail without the wind. Ironically, Kidd set out initially to be a pirate hunter, but ended up going full pirate because he was so terrible at Pirate Hunting

At that range their guns would pierce the Endeavor's hull, not that it would do half the damage depicted (especially the Pearls 12 pounders.

So I guess I can accept that the movie Dutchman could pose a legitimate threat to the Endeavor. I would still bet on the Endeavor if Will is Captain though. And the Pearl would be useless in this fight as depicted. Edit: Oh, not to mention the movie's Dutchman's curse. And the Pearl could threaten the Endeavor in a chase where the Pearl has powerful but slow backup and as such is only trying to demast/slow them so her allies can can catch up. Or if the Pearl is still cursed then she is only beaten by Davy Jones. Even the Dutchman would be helpless against her with out him.

It takes several queues from Dutch ships, appropriate to its name, but lacks the round stern is quite a bit bigger.

The Black Pearl, less of an actual ship and more of a motif, because back in the old days when shipwrights like myself would create a ship from beams of whatever wood they could get their hands on back then cuz there was less trees around before people planting all of them they found that if you take black walnut oil and saturated into the wood it dyes the wood black or like a really really dark brown over time if you see a Pirate Ship (Dutch East India Trading Company...aka the Black Hand) in museum and wonder what do they treat that with it's like a really really dark colored wood but it's not the type of wood that they used it's black walnut oil, and over time the sea water and stuff probably leeches out of it and stuff but it should be black I think when it comes off the factory floor, and prevents termites, prevents erosion, prevents Crustaceans, and Barnacles, trying to eat the ship it's a very potent oil that keeps any kind of negativity away and can also be used to make black dye for clothes with it, or paint

I find it so stupid that an East Indiaman (and the fastest one at that) would be commissioned under the name "Wicked Wench".
