    "Wherever we want to go, we go. That's what a ship is, you know. It's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails. That's what a ship needs. But what a ship is...what the Black Pearl really is...is freedom."

    ―Jack Sparrow

    The Black Pearl, originally known by its former name, the Wicked Wench, was an infamous ship of the seven seas. Earning a legendary status throughout the Age of Piracy, it was both a pirate and merchant vessel named Wicked Wench before being raised from the depths. With sails as dark as a moonless night, and a hull painted to match, the Black Pearl was every inch a pirate ship, built for action. This ship was most famously used by Jack Sparrow and Hector Barbossa, who both fought over the Captaincy of the Black Pearl.

    Originally named the Wicked Wench, this ship was where the pirate Captain Morgan died during a massive sea battle with Captain Armando Salazar of the Spanish Navy, but not before Morgan gave command to young "Jack the Sparrow". Through unknown circumstances, the Wench became a merchant ship for the East India Trading Company, where the ship was owned by Cutler Beckett and given to Jack Sparrow, now a merchant seaman. Sparrow led the crew on several voyages from West Africa to the Caribbean and back on behalf of the Company. However, after Jack liberated a cargo of human slaves, Beckett ordered the Wench set alight and sunk and her captain forever branded as a pirate. After failing to rescue the Wench, Jack made a deal with Davy Jones, the ghostly captain of the Flying Dutchman. Jones raised Jack's beloved ship from the depths, giving Jack thirteen years as captain, in exchange for one hundred years of service aboard the Dutchman. With the ship's now charred look, Jack re-christened the Wicked Wench as the Black Pearl. Now a renowned pirate vessel and threat of the Caribbean, the Black Pearl would embark on many adventures on the high seas.

    Two years later, during the quest for the cursed treasure of Cortés, Jack Sparrow lost the Black Pearl by a mutiny led by his first mate, Hector Barbossa. After ten years of being a cursed ship, with stories being told of a ship with black sails preying on ships and settlements, the Black Pearl was regained by Jack Sparrow after he killed Barbossa with the help of Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann. For the next year, Jack would captain the Pearl until former crewman Bootstrap Bill Turner reminded him of his thirteen-year-old bargain with Davy Jones, who demanded the thirteen-year-old debt was due to be paid. 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. After escaping the Locker, the Black Pearl sailed for Shipwreck Cove, led by both Jack and the resurrected Barbossa, where it became the flagship of the Brethren Court's armada in the fight against Cutler Beckett's Armada. The titanic battle would end with the Black Pearl and the Flying Dutchman, now captained by Will Turner, destroying the HMS Endeavour, achieving the pirates victory.

    After the showdown, Hector Barbossa once again stole the Black Pearl from Jack Sparrow with the intention of using it to find the Fountain of Youth. However, the Pearl came under attack by the Queen Anne's Revenge, captained by the notorious pirate Blackbeard, who used the Sword of Triton to bring the rigging to life and turned the Pearl against Barbossa and his crew. Unbeknownst to Barbossa, who escaped believing his ship to have been sunk, Blackbeard kept the Black Pearl itself, magicking the ship into a bottle for good measure, adding it to the other conquered ships enclosed in bottles in a special cabinet in his cabin. Several years later, after being shanghaied aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge, Jack Sparrow was shown the current state of the Black Pearl by Angelica. Sparrow sent his loyal first mate Joshamee Gibbs to retrieve his beloved Pearl, and the two tried figuring how to get the ship out of the bottle.

    Resurrection
    "So tell me, what's become of my ship?" ―Hector Barbossa The Kraken dragged the Black Pearl down to Davy Jones' Locker, along with its captain. Both were marooned on a seemingly endless desert. Sparrow was forced to endure a maddening existence leading to hallucinations wherein he saw multiple personifications of his various personalities attempting to crew the Pearl. During one of the pirate's bouts of hallucinations, a rock Jack had thrown turned into a crab. Other rocks turned into a army of crabs. This force moved the Pearl, with Jack chasing behind before he climbed aboard. The crew of the Hai Peng arrived in the Locker in time to see the Black Pearl, with Jack standing on the Pearl's rigging, slide into the sea. Tia Dalma apparently was responsible for this turn of events. Jack immediately resumed his captaincy, though found competition in the form of the resurrected Hector Barbossa. His crew was bolstered by Tai Huang and his men, who pledged their allegiance to Sparrow. The Pearl sailed through the seemingly endless doldrums of the Locker, encountering Weatherby Swann and many other dead people in boats along the way. Jack later deciphered the cryptic clues of Sao Feng's navigational charts, and devised a plan to return the Pearl back to the land of the living. He and the rest of the crew tipped the Pearl upside down by rocking her back and forth, assisted by the cannons and cargo shifting below decks, allowing the crew to escape the Locker heralded by a green flash.
    Sparrow and Barbossa's command

    "Granted it tends to list to port, and has been, on occasion, known to frighten young women. But I promise you, you will not be disappointed."

    ―Jack Sparrow to Scarlett and Giselle

    With sails as dark as a moonless night, and a hull painted to match, the Black Pearl was every inch a pirate ship. It was a three-masted ship, most closely resembling a Dutch East Indiaman with touches of Spanish galleon. As the Wicked Wench, she had a golden yellow hull and flew sails of pure white which carried the colors of the East India Trading Company. As a pirate vessel, the Black Pearl's most obvious and infamous features were her tattered black sails and soot colored hull. Aside from the obvious psychological implications of a black ship in a superstitious world, her coloring enabled the crew to effectively hide in the dark of night by dousing the lamps scattered around the deck. This ability was used by Captain Barbossa to infiltrate the harbor of Port Royal, and later by Captain Sparrow when he sent Will Turner to investigate a wrecked ship in search of the key to the Dead Man's Chest.

    "Nobody can catch the Black Pearl, love. It's the fastest ship in the world!"

    ―Jack Sparrow to Carolina

    Aside from her striking visual features, the Pearl was believed to be extremely fast, at least by those who knew of her existence. In fact, when she sailed with the wind, she was the fastest ship in the Caribbean, indicating that her speed may be derived from the large amount of canvas she carried. Under Barbossa and his cursed crew, galley-style oars, or "sweeps", were a primary method of boosting the Pearl's speed when going against the wind or pursuing very fast prey. The Pearl was known to be able to outrun even the fastest vessels of the British Royal Navy such as the Interceptor, and even supernatural ships such as the Flying Dutchman and the Silent Mary.

    •The Black Pearl first appeared in the 2003 junior novelization for Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. Many versions of the Black Pearl were used throughout the Pirates of the Caribbean movie franchise.

    •In The Curse of the Black Pearl, the Pearl was a set on a barge. Another one was built on the sound-stage set to achieve better control over fog machines. When principal photography commenced on October 9, 2002, the first two weeks of production were spent on stages, including the moody interior of the captain's cabin of the Black Pearl at KABC, a local news affiliate to the Walt Disney Company in Glendale, California.

    •For Dead Man's Chest and At World's End, a more sea-worthy Black Pearl was built around the ship Sunset by Rick Heinrichs's production team. The weathered capstan used for the films is the very same one from the version of the ship seen in The Curse of the Black Pearl. Some scenes were also filmed at Walt Disney Studios in Burbank: the Pearl's gun and hold decks were filmed at Stage 1, while the captain's cabins of both the Black Pearl and Edinburgh Trader were constructed on Stage 5. Another version of the Pearl, mounted on a gimbal, was built for filming the Maelstrom battle in At World's End.

    •In On Stranger Tides, a ship-in-a-bottle version of the Black Pearl was meticulously built under the supervision of U.S. property master Kirk Corwin, and was later animated by Charles Gibson's visual effects department for maximum effect. The Art of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and the film's Disney Second Screen feature shows an illustration of the shrunken-but-still-sailing Black Pearl. According to production designer John Myhre, since the Black Pearl doesn't figure into the story of On Stranger Tides, Disney wanted the production team to use the Sunset as the base for the Queen Anne's Revenge.

    •For Dead Men Tell No Tales, the deck of the Wicked Wench/Black Pearl was constructed on top of a sophisticated, computerized gimbal; with the rest of the ship completed with CGI. This was done to save time and money, as opposed to using the Sunset.[citation needed] Remarkably, the weathered capstan in Dead Men Tell No Tales was used in the versions of the ship seen in previous films.

    •So far, the Black Pearl is the only ship to appear in all five Pirates of the Caribbean films.
