<P> As explained in the movie, the character of Davy Jones was given the Flying Dutchman by Calypso, his lover, to ferry souls lost at sea to the afterlife . When she neglected to meet him after his first ten years of duty, he was both heartbroken and enraged . He abandoned his duties and chose to wander the seas, doing as he pleased . This violation of his duty placed a curse on Jones and his crew, slowly transforming them into monsters . Apparently, the Dutchman is also believed to be nautical lore in the Pirates universe, as character James Norrington mockingly remarks, "(Davy Jones)... captain of the Flying Dutchman? ." The fictional Dutchman is also known as a fearful ship to those who are superstitious, and able to destroy any vessel (using the Kraken). </P> <P> In Dead Man's Chest, the Dutchman makes its first appearance when it rises from the sea to claim its victims' souls following a Kraken attack (instigated by Davy Jones). The Dutchman, able to sail on the sea and underwater, emits terror and potency to those unfortunate enough to cross its path . Davy Jones captures from the ship wreckage and demands that Jack Sparrow settle his overdue debt . Sparrow bargains for his life, and Jones finally agrees to accept 100 souls in exchange for Sparrow's, keeping Turner as "a good faith payment". </P> <P> Will is reunited with his father, "Bootstrap Bill" Turner, who is an indentured sailor aboard the Flying Dutchman . Shipboard life is harsh, and the crew is often whipped by the cruel boatswain, Jimmy Legs . Will is also flogged, although it is his father who delivers the lash to spare his son from the boatswain's sadistic hand . With his father's help, Will escapes the Dutchman, but when the ship he reaches is attacked by the Kraken, he sneaks back aboard as a stowaway, making his way to Isla Cruces where Jones' heart is buried in the Dead Man's Chest . Will finds Elizabeth and Sparrow on Isla Cruces . The three escape the island on the Black Pearl, pursued by the Dutchman (who loses the Pearl in less than a minute). Jones unleashes the Kraken, which attacks the Pearl and drags Sparrow to Davy Jones' Locker . </P> <P> In At World's End, Captain Davy Jones now serves Lord Cutler Beckett, who possesses Jones' heart and forcibly controls him and the Flying Dutchman, which is first seen rising from the sea, mercilessly destroying pirate ships with its powerful cannons . This irritates Lord Beckett who wants survivors to interrogate . So to ensure Jones does as he is ordered to, Beckett places Admiral James Norrington and a squad of East India Trading company marines and the Dead Man's chest placed on board as well to remind Jones he is under their control . The Dutchman accompanies Beckett's flagship, Endeavour in its mission to eradicate piracy . When the Dutchman attacks Sao Feng's ship, the Empress, it takes its crew captive (including Elizabeth Swann who is made captain by the dying Sao Feng). Elizabeth and her crew escape the Dutchman with Admiral Norrington's help, although he is killed by a deranged Bootstrap Bill Turner . Jones and his crew attempt a mutiny against the East India Trading Company marines stationed on board, but Mr. Mercer, Beckett's henchman, proclaims the ship is under his command, temporarily subduing the uprising . </P>
