[edit] Captain

I think Anamaria should at least be added to the "Captains" list as an acting captain. She's the one who hands the Pearl back to Jack at the end of CotBP after all. Not sure when Gibbs would ever be considered its captain though, acting or no - \\Captain Kwenn// ^{— Ahoy!} 07:39, 29 March 2007 (UTC) Bold text

I think Gibbs would be acting captain; he seemed to overule Anamaria sevel times on the Intecepter when Jack was gone and appeared to be in charge when Elizabeth Swann left them. - Captain J. Sparrow

[edit] Improving the Black Pearl

This list is mostly for myself, but if anyone else want to help me, that's fine too. Based on what Captain Kwenn and Lord Cutler Beckett said about this article when I nominated it for featured article, as well as some of my own research, here's what needs to be done. If you feel there are other tasks that should be done, feel free to add them to the list.

[edit] Things to Do

• Add more sources for the article
• Add more sources for all images
• Add a description of the ship itself
• Perhaps add a section about significant crew
• Use more in-text citation
• Double check for spelling and grammatical errors

[edit] Done

When a task is done, please move it to the done section---Wanderingshadow

[edit] More to do

• We need a picture for the Desine and Appearance section (blueprints or something like that)
• The wikipedia article about the Black Pearl states that she's an East Indiaman and thet her guns are twelfe-pounders. Is it canon?
• The same article claims that the oars were installed by Barbossa and are "unrealistic" Ehat's about that?

We already have a blueprint, and another is very unlikely to be found. Most of Wikipedia's PotC content is crap, and non-canon, so we should discredit those two points.--Lord Cutler Beckett^{Port Royal} 01:09, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Then we should add at least some pics of the interior (captain's cabin, the gun deck and crew's quarters), they were shown in them movies, so we must have screenshots. A section without images just does't look good in an FA. Yes, I know that ther's lot of crap, but there could also be some true information, that's why I asked for confirmation. I inthend to create a project for this. El Chupacabra 08:44, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

The Pearl is definately not an East India Man as they were single decked two masted ships, Wikipedia mistakenly beleives any ship to have been employed by the company to be an East India Man. They also think the Flying Dutchman was a Fluyt because the look of the ship was based on one, with this in mind I really dont thinnk we should listen to a word they say, they dont adhere to canon they do as they will, in fact they stil beleive davy jones to be Pirate Lord of the Scottish Lochs. - Lord KAJ ^{– Company Office} 09:02, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

They also think Teague's first name is Edward.--Lord Cutler Beckett^{Port Royal} 11:09, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Exactly, lets just ignore them from now on. - Lord KAJ ^{– Company Office} 11:13, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Broken windows

Why exactly is it that the windows of the captain's quarters are fixed in the beginning of AWE and yet we see them busted up in the deleted scenes? One minute the damages are mended, the next we see a mess again. Why is this?--ScungiliGuy 04:46, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, deleted scenes were removed from the final cut of the movie, so if they contradict to any other source, threat them as non-canon. The thing with the broken windows is obviously the same as withs Jack's scars in CBP. El Chupacabra 14:22, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ship Type

The Black Pearl is not a Galleon, but a East Indiaman.

Not an East Indiaman but a Galleon. East Indiaman were single decked two masted ship's, the Pearl has two decks and three masts. - KAJ ^{– Talk} 08:15, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
