  • Nope. Didn't know that. Thanks for asking!
  • I did, she was The Wicked Wench. I found it out a while back and I just love the telling of the tale from this site: http://pirates.wikia.com/wiki/Jack_Sparrow Here be an excerpt from said site that tells the tale- "We've had dealings in the past. And we've each left our mark on the other." ―Cutler Beckett to William Turner Following his teenage adventures, Jack was at some point employed by the East India Trading Company, and was made Captain of the merchant vessel Wicked Wench. Although Jack carried out many jobs on behalf of Cutler Beckett, when told to transport slaves, he refused and set them free. In response, Beckett ordered the Wicked Wench to be torched, and branded Jack a pirate.[1] Although despising piracy during his early years, Jack soon took to his outlaw status, and left the East India Trading Company behind. However, Jack was not content to let his ship lie at the bottom of the ocean, and struck a bargain with Davy Jones, the lord of the sea, to resurrect it. In exchange, Jack promised to give up his position as captain of the Wicked Wench in thirteen years time to serve for a century aboard Jones' ship, the Flying Dutchman. Jack, however, had no intention of keeping his end of the bargain, having become too attached to his ship. He rechristened it the Black Pearl, and set out for a life of adventure as a pirate.
