(The physical ship used as a prop during filmmaking is actually named the Sunset .) In the screenplay, the Black Pearl is easily recognized by her distinctive black hull and sails . She was later raised from the sea floor by Davy Jones after making a pact with Jack Sparrow who rechristened her the Black Pearl . She is said to be "nigh uncatchable". Indeed, in the first three films she either overtakes or flees all other ships, including the Interceptor (regarded as the fastest ship in the Caribbean) and the Flying Dutchman (which is actually faster against the wind). Her speed is derived from the large amount of sails she carries . She is noted in At World's End as being "The only ship that can outrun the Flying Dutchman ." </P> <P> Originally named Wicked Wench (Wicked Wench is the name of the ship from the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction at Disneyland Park, which is shown shelling a fort), the merchant ship fell to piracy and was captained by an unnamed pirate killed in a battle with Spanish Royal Navy Captain Armando Salazar . The helmsman, Jack Sparrow was granted captain of the Wicked Wench after out - maneuvering Salazar and saving the crew during battle . </P>
