Actually, it's more complicated. In the current timeline, the Wicked Wench (which was originally a merchant ship owned by the East India Trading Company) became the Black Pearl when Jack was 25 (or 26). DMTNT seeminlgy contradicts that by putting Jack in command of the Wench (which is here a pirate ship) when he was 18. However, there is one explanation. It's possible that Jack was in command of the Wench when he was 18, then he lost the ship which was some time later bought by Cutler Beckett. In the meantime Jack joined the EITC and Beckett gave him command of the Wench. Five years later Beckett burned the Wench, Davy Jones raised her from the bottom of the sea, and Jack renamed her the Black Pearl. But that's just my theory.
