- "Now, it's high time I board the Misty Lady and make us all scarce. Mind terribly giving me a lift?"
- ―Edward Teague to Jack Sparrow
The Misty Lady was a pirate ship captained by Edward Teague, Pirate Lord of Madagascar and Keeper of the Code of the Brethren Court. It was used by Teague during his quest to find his teenage son, Jack Sparrow.
History[]
After the incident with the Timekeeper, Jack Sparrow and Fitzwilliam P. Dalton III spotted the Misty Lady being chased by a fleet of British Royal Navy and East India Trading Company ships in their direction.[1] By the time Jack managed to throw the treacherous Fitz overboard, the Lady had managed to catch up with the Barnacle, and Teague insisted on bringing his unwilling son aboard his ship for rescue. Shortly afterwards, the ship came under attack from the enemy fleet, and as Teague's crew returned it in kind, the Misty Lady was engaged in a full-out battle the likes of which Sparrow had never seen before.[2]
During the fight, the Misty Lady was invaded by Admiral Lawrence Norrington and his officers, who had all the crewmen onboard bound and brought back to his ship. After the crew managed to free themselves with the help of double-dealing officer Joshamee Gibbs, the majority of the crewmen returned to the Lady, with the exception of Teague and Jack. Another massive cannon fight ensued between the Lady and Norrington's vessel, during which Teague's crew managed to batter Norrington's ship, rendering it defenseless. With Norrington's crew defeated, Teague and Jack made their way back to the Misty Lady, and Teague sailed his son to an extremely beautiful island near Poseidon's Peak so he could procure himself a new boat.[2] The further fate of the ship is unknown.
Design and appearance[]
The Misty Lady was a huge ship with a reddish exterior. Its Jolly Roger was a skeleton holding a speared heart in its hand. The figurehead of a mermaid decorated its bow.
Behind the scenes[]
- It's possible the Misty Lady made an appearance in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. Two different ships were shown flying Teague's Jolly Roger before and after the battle of Calypso's maelstrom, one from the mainmast and one from the stern flagstaff. Teague was shown standing on the quarterdeck of the second ship. It's also possible one ship is the Misty Lady and the other the Troubadour, Teague's ship from Pirates of the Caribbean: The Price of Freedom, a prequel novel where it was also established that Teague has a fleet of ships under his command. However, the identity of both ships in the film still has to be confirmed by The Walt Disney Company.
- The figurehead of the Misty Lady is similar to the ship's figurehead seen in the opening of The Little Mermaid.
