![]() ![]() The Interceptor serves as Jack's replacement ship during his first true voyage in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, but when the protagonists finally catch up to Barbossa and the Black Pearl, their fortunes take a turn. After succeeding in their mission, the unlikely duo of Sparrow and Turner make for Tortuga, where they assemble a pirate crew with the help of Jack's trusted first mate, Joshamee Gibbs. Together, the unbearably handsome duo plot to escape the port by hijacking one of the Navy's own ships - Captain Norrington's HMS Interceptor, reputedly the fastest in the fleet and second only to the Black Pearl herself. Jack's interests conveniently align with those of Will Turner, whose lover (Keira Knightley's Elizabeth Swann) has been kidnapped by Barbossa. When The Curse of the Black Pearl begins, Jack Sparrow has been deprived of the film's titular ship by Barbossa and is seeking to reclaim the boat from his sworn, undead foe. The last fans saw of the Black Pearl, she was once again captained by Jack Sparrow and seeking fresh escapades. The fabled ship is consigned to Davy Jones' Locker along with Jack in At World's End and miniaturized in a bottle by Blackbeard in On Stranger Tides. Over the course of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, the Black Pearl regularly flits between the command of Jack Sparrow and Hector Barbossa and sees more adventure than ever before. Renewed by magic and christened "the Black Pearl" due to being flame-grilled by Beckett, Jack's ship was now the fastest in the Caribbean and the perfect vessel to start his life of piracy anew. With his beloved ship falling to the depths, Jack made a deal with Davy Jones to raise the Wicked Wench once more. In response, Beckett banished Jack back into piracy and burned the Wicked Wench, while Jack did what any good captain should and went down with his ship. Jack's superior, Tom Hollander's Cutler Beckett, once again tried to steer Jack Sparrow towards the slave trade and, once again, he was refused. Once again, Jack resisted the temptations of piracy and kept on the straight and narrow during his time on the Wench, but Sparrow's staunch moral code would soon lead him away from the privateering world. ![]() Finally the captain of his own ship once again, Jack experienced the same kind of attachment to the Wicked Wench as he did with the Barnacle before, enjoying the freedom of the seas and the mastery of his own destiny. ![]()
