The Barnacle was a fishing boat used by Captain Jack Sparrow and his crew during the quest for the Sword of Cortés. They continued to use it in their further adventures.
Characteristics
The Barnacle appeared to be little more than a fancy fishing vessel, though it was well maintained even when left abandoned. The name of the ship was painted in gaudy lettering across its stern. When Arabella Smith happened upon the vessel at Salty Cove, six rapiers had been stowed aboard in a chest.
History
- "I know the perfect boat to use. An old, abandoned one in Salty Cove."
- ―Arabella Smith to Jack Sparrow
The Barnacle was left abandoned at Salty Cove, and it was here that Arabella Smith led Jack Sparrow during one of his earliest adventures. Fitzwilliam P. Dalton III joined the crew, who journeyed in the Barnacle to Isla Esquelética. There, Jean, Constance and Tumen Magliore joined, and helped locate Stone-Eyed Sam's lost city.
The crew of the Barnacle later fell under the spell of the Sirens, each swayed by their heart's desire, except for Jack, who traveled to Isla Sirena to negotiate with the mermaids and save his crew. Following this adventure and the discovery of the Sword of Cortés, the spirit of Hernán Cortés transformed the Barnacle into a mighty galleon, imbued with the power of the sword. The so-called Grand Barnacle sank a British warship and conveyed Jack to a second meeting with the merfolk. It was ultimately reverted when the spirit of Cortés was defeated.
