"It's most likely the powder magazine. Merchant vessels run heavily armed."
"A lot of good it did them. Everyone's thinking it, I'm just saying it. Pirates.
"
Lieutenant James Norrington and Joshamee Gibbs[src]

The Princess was a British merchant ship during the golden age of piracy. While sailing on the Caribbean Sea, the heavily-armed vessel was attacked by the crew of a haunted ghost ship with black sails, the Black Pearl. The burning wreckage and a young Will Turner, the only survivor of the attack, would be found by the crew of the HMS Dauntless on the crossing from England.

History[]

The Princess burns.

Not much is known of this merchant ship's history, only that while sailing through the Caribbean Sea, the ship was attacked by the crew of the Black Pearl, under the command of Hector Barbossa. The cursed pirates attacked the vessel while searching for one of 882 pieces of Aztec gold—given to young Will Turner by his father, Bootstrap Bill, and carried by the boy during the voyage. The Pearl struck the ship's powder magazine, causing it to explode, killing all on board except Turner, who was able to survive the attack and was seen floating on a piece of shipwreck before being rescued by the crew of the HMS Dauntless as they were sailing from the crossing of England. After rescuing young Will, the Dauntless crew saw the wreck of the merchant vessel.[1]
