User blog comment:Uskok/What would you do if you were in Barbossa's place?/@comment-1984959-20120321082604/@comment-1984959-20120321083547

Or...considering the Santiago is somewhat close enough to the cliffside beach of the island, Barbossa could use the Sword of Triton to get the ship to fly towards him. This is mainly because I probably don't want any of the shinies to get break in some way.

(Ok, I know that "official" material haven't stated that the sword can make ships fly; but be an interesting surprise, no? lol)
