Nice video but some notes: Of the Dead Man's Chest after the Turkish prison scene has the fishermen who got eaten by the Kraken (because they find Jack's hat just before it) speak mixed Cyprus dialects Greek and Turkish. The Island of Cyprus in near Turkey in the Eastern Mediterranean. Norrington also notes in his tavern rant scene how Jack escaped him "in Tripoli" which in the Mediterranean modern Libya in North Africa. All this indicate very clearly without a doubt that Jack was meant to not only in have sailed the Mediterranean after the Curse of the Black Pearl but that the next movie starts from there. It is odd that he makes his next landfall on the Pelegosto Island which is undoubtedly in the Caribbean. This can be seen as a kind of a plot hole.
In the beginning of The Dead Man's Chest the crew of Jack's Black Pearl was very irritated that they make long distance without clear targets. The storms that they encounter in the period of long travelling must duel the irritation. And Jack went back to the other side of the world after he got the haunting Black spot from Bootstrap Bill to mark him for the Kraken. The Kraken was appearing in the Mediterranean sea where he attacked the Turkish/Cyprish fisherman. After the brutal glimp of the Kraken in the Mediterranean we don't see the beast for a long time because Jack outrun with the Black Pearl (the fastest ship of the seven seas) the Kraken to the other side of the world.
It's also stated by Jack's crew that they're tired of being "chased around the Atlantic". This indicates that Norrington has been pursuing Jack over quite a long range of distances. It makes sense for Jack to have escaped Norrington in Tripoli, and then been pursued across the Atlantic to the Caribbean. The mentioned hurricane also probably helped in getting them from one side of the ocean to the other.
I think that there was a scene where Norrington says that he almost catched Jack and his crew under tripoli, so maybe the turkish prison actually was located near turkey
I wonder if there's any ghosts of pirates hanting the underwater sections of Port Royal And if there were did the gods send a tsunami to trap them there?
Only thing I wish you elaborated on more is the deal with Singapore. I guess it wasn't established as a city yet? What was there in the years that the movies actually take place? I know from another video of yours that piracy was big in the South China Sea, so where would have been a better alternative for that portion of the movie to take place?
It was China without being China, Disney wanted to sell the film to China, but the Chinese government finds offensive that a Chinese person can be portrayed as a villain or a pirate in a film shown worldwide, so Sao Feng and his crew became Singaporean, somewhat ironically that didn’t stop the Chinese censors cutting some of Chow Yun Fat’s scenes. Shanghai is kinda famous in nautical terms, not sure if it was a port in the 17/18th century ? Lastly, the female ‘Chinese’ Pirate captain portrayed in ‘At Worlds End’ was based on Madame Ching, probably the most successful pirate captain of all time.
So Singapore just straight up didn’t exist before the 1800’s. It was a port established by the English (if memory serves me right), and from there it turned into a far larger settlement. As for a real-world location that would fit better: maybe Hong Kong? Chinese piracy has historically been tied to Hong Kong, but again, moreso in the 1800’s.
Bold of you to assume London is a real place. I always thought it was greater France or Scottish River Town smh. (for who doesnt get this. It is a joke)

DAMN that’s a good thumbnail
After Effects my guy. I ain’t ever touching Photoshop again 😂
Agreed
The new Sea of Thieves music was a nice touch
4:18 but there is a scene when James Norrington said that he almost captured black pearl in Tripoli
It could be they sailed away from the Mediterranean sea back to the carribean where Jack sneak in the prison

It's unclear whether the Black Pearl had good winds and how fast she actually is with the wind in the first 3 films.
Vetter ask when. Really strange. They say 1730 but the surroundings, the ships, the everything. It spreads from mid 17 to mid 18th
Thats what i feel is missing from the Caribbean, the piracy was an intrinsic part of its history but today almost all of it is gone.
HELL YEAH!!! 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
Aw but where’s the island where Elizabeth and Henry lived at the end of 3 and 5?
I've seen theories that's part of Shipwreck Island, which I could see being the case since the final battle was assumedly near there
Yeah some sources say Jamaica, some say Shipwreck Island.

@@jasperswarp I remember just assuming it was China as a kid. I guess I wasn't all that wrong after all.

I always thought early 18th century
