There, Jack enlists Gibbs to help them assemble a crew. The two commandeer HMS Interceptor, a small sloop-of-war, and head for Tortuga. Jack, the previous captain of the Black Pearl before Barbossa staged a mutiny, makes a deal with Will to reclaim his ship. Will frees Jack to rescue Elizabeth, whom Will loves. Barbossa takes her prisoner, believing her to be the daughter of William "Bootstrap Bill" Turner, whose blood is needed to lift the curse. Barbossa and his crew have returned all but one of the pieces, with Elizabeth's medallion being the final piece. This placed a curse on Barbossa and his crew, turning them into immortals who take the appearance of skeletons in the moonlight. Barbossa explains that the medallion is one of 882 gold pieces that his crew took from a treasure of Hernán Cortés on Isla de Muerta. Elizabeth claims her last name is Turner to conceal her identity as the governor's daughter. The crew of the Pearl capture Elizabeth, taking her to meet Captain Barbossa. That night, the Black Pearl attacks Port Royal in search of the medallion. They duel, and Jack is captured and imprisoned. Jack encounters Will, now a blacksmith and self-taught expert swordsman. Norrington identifies Jack as a pirate, and a chase ensues. Captain Jack Sparrow, just arrived in Port Royal to commandeer a ship, rescues Elizabeth. Norrington is promoted to commodore and proposes to Elizabeth but her corset makes her faint and fall into the sea, which causes the medallion to emit a pulse. As she examines the medallion she sees a ghostly pirate ship in the distance.Įight years later, Elizabeth puts on the medallion after dreaming about it and the ship. Elizabeth discovers a golden pirate medallion around his neck, and hides it to keep it being discovered. In the year 1720, while sailing to Port Royal, Jamaica aboard HMS Dauntless, Governor Weatherby Swann, his daughter Elizabeth, Joshamee Gibbs, and Lieutenant James Norrington encounter a shipwreck and recover a boy, Will Turner.
