The Curse of the Black Pearl

Tweet

As governor Weatherby Swann and his 12-old-year,Elizabeth,sail to Port Royal,Jamaica,their ship,HMS dauntless ancounters a shipwreck with a sole survivor,the young Will Turner.Elizabeth finds and takes a gold skull from around the unconcious Will's neck and hides it,fearing he will be accused of piracy.She then sees the ghostly Black Pearl.Eight years later,Captain James Norrington of the British Royal Navy is promoted to Commodore.At his ceremony,he proposes to Elizabeth,but before answering,she tumbles into the bay.The skull medallion she is wearing emits a mysterious pulse through the water.Meanwhile,pirate Captain Jack Sparrow has arrived in port Royal to commandeer a ship.Seeing Elizabeth fall,he rescues her,but is promptly arrested for piracy.He escapes and ducks into a blacksmith shop where he encounters Will Turner,a blacksmith apprentice and self-taught expert swordsman.Following a swordfight with Turner,sparrow is knocked unconscious and jailed.That night,port Royal is besieged by the Black Pearl,having been called by the mysterious pulse from Elizabeth's medallion.Elizabeth is captured and invokes "parlay".To protect her identity,Elizabeth tells captain Hector Barbossa her last name is Turner.She negotiates for the pirates to cease the attack on port Royal in exchange for the medallion.Barbossa agrees,but employing a loophole in their agreement,he keeps Elizabeth prisoner,believing she is the key to breaking an ancient curse they are under.The first episode is doubtless the best,althought I haven't seen yet the third.Go Jack!!
