>>11541732>>11541835>>11541855>>11541861the ship name has nothing to do with the curse on the crew. it's a clever wordplay because pearls are normally bright shiny white, but this is the "black" pearl, get it? and the ship is colored black? yeah... cool, right?
despite the way everybody name-drops the ship throughout the movie series (The Pearl!) they probably didn't think people in general knew that name. Everybody knows "Jack Sparrow"
they probably could have said something like "Jack Sparrow's Pirate Ship - The Black Pearl"
