- "Could that be the Dutchman?"
"That wreck? Unlikely. Times may have turned tough for old Davy, but he won't be run afoul of any shoals. And it's too small. The real Flying Dutchman is much...bigger, in a frightening, slime-covered, monstrous sort of way." - ―Will Turner and Jack Sparrow
This ship was a vessel attacked and split in two by the Kraken, likely in order to bring more souls onto the Flying Dutchman.
History[]
One day while sailing through the waters of the Gulf of Mexico,[3] this ship would suddenly come under attack from the mythical Kraken. Most of its crew were killed, and the ship was split in half. Jack Sparrow told Will Turner that this ship was the Flying Dutchman, though it transpired that the real Dutchman surfaced next to the wreck while Will was on board. On board the ship, Will encountered the crew in various conditions. There was a crew member manning some rigging, one hid behind a cargo net and another hung from the rigging, apparently dead. Another crew member was spouted onto the deck, only for Will to find that his face had been sucked off by the Kraken's suckers. The traumatized crew member manning the rigging implied that the Kraken was underneath the ship as they spoke, keeping the wreckage afloat for Davy Jones to have his pick of the survivors.[4]
The ship's crew were soon attacked by the Dutchman's crew along with Will. They were then faced Davy Jones to be recruited onto the Dutchman. The ship's chaplain was killed by Davy Jones' crew, because he told them not to listen to Davy, while others were recruited along with Turner (who never actually swore an oath). What happened to the wreck of this vessel afterwards is unknown.[4]
Behind the scenes[]
- "No...beneath us...foul breath...waves took Billy and Quentin...captain's orders!"
- ―Frightened Sailor
- This ship was portrayed by the slightly altered set of the destroyed Edinburgh Trader, another ship sunk by the Kraken.
- The number of survivors are different. In Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Maccus tells Davy Jones there are five men still alive, including Will Turner. However, in the film's junior novelization and screenplay, it's six men.[1]
- In addition, courtesy of the Frightened Sailor, "Billy" and "Quentin" were the only two named crewmen.[1][2]
- In the Dead Man's Chest video game Jack Sparrow personally boards this ship and fights some undead crewmen before the Flying Dutchman rises out of the sea and he sends Will Turner to board it.
- Unlike the movie version, the ship in the At World's End video game is still in one piece, it's much larger, and it's painted like a British Royal Navy ship of the line.
