In the movie Pirates of the Caribbean, everyone knows that the Black Pearl is captained by Jack Sparrow. However, at the beginning of the first movie the ship is under the control of Captain Barbossa, played by Geoffrey Rush.

Prior to the events in the first movie Barbossa was first mate to Captain Jack aboard the Black Pearl. He led a mutiny amongst the crew in order to remove Jack Sparrow from command.

After they had marooned Jack on a Caribbean island Barbossa and his crew went on to discover the treasure of Cortez that would ultimately leave them cursed. They became destined to walk the earth as the undead until all the pieces of treasure had been returned and each crew member had spilled their blood onto it.

Not realising this at the time, Barbossa had ‘Bootstap’ Bill turner tossed overboard, chained to a cannon. This is why the story opens with the crew of the Black Pearl not only looking for the treasure in Elizabeth’s posession, but also Will Turner’s blood.
