This prompted Jack's search for the Dead Man's Chest, which ended with the Kraken dragging both Jack and his beloved Pearl to Davy Jones' Locker. For the next year, Jack would captain the Pearl until he was reminded of his thirteen year old bargain with Davy Jones, who demanded the debt was due to be paid. After ten years of being a cursed ship, with stories being told of the ship preying on ships and settlements, the Black Pearl was regained by Jack Sparrow after he killed Barbossa. Two years later, during the quest for the cursed treasure of Cortés, Jack Sparrow lost the Pearl by a mutiny led by his first mate, Hector Barbossa. Now a renowned pirate vessel and threat of the Caribbean, the Black Pearl would embark on many adventures on the high seas. With the Wench's new charred look, Jack renamed her the Black Pearl. Jones raised the Wicked Wench from the depths, giving Jack thirteen years as captain, in exchange for one hundred years of service aboard the Dutchman. After failing to rescue the Wench, Jack made a deal with Davy Jones, the ghostly captain of the Flying Dutchman. However, after Jack liberated a cargo of slaves, Beckett ordered the Wench set alight and sunk and her captain forever branded as a pirate. Command was later given to Jack Sparrow, who led the Wench and her crew on several voyages from West Africa to the Caribbean and back for the East India Trading Company on the behalf of Cutler Beckett. The Wench's first captain was Morgan, a pirate who died in a battle with the Spanish Royal Navy. The Black Pearl was most notably captained by Jack Sparrow and Hector Barbossa. Built for action, this ghost ship could outsail any other sailing vessels. With sails as dark as a moonless night, and a hull painted to match, this legendary ship of the seven seas was every inch a pirate vessel. At one point, it was sold and turned into a merchant vessel before turning back to piracy when it was re-christened. The Black Pearl was an infamous pirate ship, originally named the Wicked Wench. But what a ship is.what the Black Pearl really is.is freedom." ― Jack Sparrow It's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails.
