Talk:Timeline of Pirates of the Caribbean series

From PotC Wiki

The Flying Dutchman is a mixture of ships that was used in the early 17th century. So I think that Calypso gave the Flying Dutchman to Davy Jones before 1650s. --89.172.235.233 09:59, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

How do we even know Calypso gave the Dutchman to Jones? Where is that stated? - \\Captain Kwenn// ^{— Ahoy!} 10:03, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

That's not important. Imporatant is that Davy Jones begin to sail on the Flying Dutchman before 1650. --89.172.197.82 13:06, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Not necessarily. The Dutchman may have had previous captains, or else have already been an old ship by the time Jones used it - \\Captain Kwenn// ^{— Ahoy!} 14:30, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Non-canon

It's neccesary to mark this timeline as noncanon, because the most of the dates are fan-made estimations and not confirmed by any official or semi-offi´cial sources. El Chupacabra 06:53, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

The events themselves are canon, and the unofficial nature of the dates is noted in the introduction - \\Captain Kwenn// ^{— Ahoy!} 15:03, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

I admit that the page is a bit of a mess. I added the estimated dates not specifically to encourage fanon, but simply to have a "Year 0" from which other dates could be based. Perhaps it would be best just to return to "0" for Curse and tag all dates as "before" or "after"? - \\Captain Kwenn// ^{— Ahoy!} 08:24, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

It would be good, as now it's hard to distinguish between official dates and estimation. We should use AD dates if they are canon, otherwise prior/after CBP dates. El Chupacabra 12:36, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Exact date

Now, since we know that Sumbhajee Angria was a real-world individual and died in 1743, and Rule Britannia was first preformed in august 1741, and DMC and AWE are set 1 year after CBP, we can assume that CBP must be set in 1741 and the other two movies in 1742.

I have a source (will find and post here) that said that CotBP took place in 1726, mate. BlackPearl14^{Pirate Lord-ess} 02:18, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Please post it, because this sounds totally unbelieveable. Are you sure that it's a canon source? El Chupacabra 14:22, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

It is written here that jack Sparrow was born "C-40y", and then that he was employed by the East India Trading Company (and eventually branded a pirate) around "C-30y". That means that Jack was 10 years old when he worked for Beckett ? Doesn't make sense...
