Black pearl

 The known fact

       
                                         -(Pirates of Caribbean)

Black pearl, a very known ship from the film Pirate's of the Caribbean. It was originally a merchant ship named wicked wench, being owned by the East India trading Co. Captained by Jack sparrow, character played by our beloved Johnny depp.



General info

  • It is about 165 meters in length.
  • Which is armed 32×12 pounds cannons

  • 18 on the gun deck and 14 on the upper deck(open deck).

Disadvantage

Doesn't have chase guns in bow & stern (forward or aftward of the ship)

Advantage

It's tactical advantage -
                                            Because of the dark coloring it could travel virtually unseen in night water's and also allowed it to stealthily approach it's target in the cover of darkness.

  • Have you ever seen the real Black pearl!?
The black pearl mentioned in the movie isn't actually a real sailing ship.There was once a real ship named the Black Pearl. It was captained by Sir Henry Morgan but sank in a battle. This fictional ship hasn’t fared much better, having been sunk at least three times. But, like Jack Sparrow, the Black Pearl is notorious for being nearly impossible to destroy.
