In the first three films, she either overtakes or flees all other ships, including both the Interceptor, which is regarded as the fastest ship in the Caribbean, and the Flying Dutchman, which is faster than the wind. Captained by Captain Jack Sparrow, the Black Pearl is said to be 'nigh uncatchable'. In the screenplay, the ship is easily recognized by her distinctive black hull and sails. The Black Pearl (formerly known as the Wicked Wench) is a fictional ship in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series.
