"We are an unimaginative lot when it comes to naming things." The title of this article is conjectural. |
- "A ship!"
"A galleon. On its way from the Spanish Main. They're approaching with oars." - ―Will Turner and Jack Sparrow
Carrera de la Vega's ship was a galleon that served as the pride of the Spanish Armada. The ship was most notably captained by Don Carrera de la Vega, a Spanish nobleman who sailed in the Caribbean during the Age of Piracy. As the Spanish galleon sailed from the Spanish Main, spotting the Interceptor, a ship formerly of the British Royal Navy, and approached with oars.
History[]
- "This is even better than taking a British ship. We've captured pirates."
- ―Carrera de la Vega to his crew
While Jack Sparrow and Will Turner face the gallows in front of a crowd at Fort Alvo Grande in Panama, Sparrow recounted his past adventures, albeit exaggerated and not completely honest, including how they confronted Don Carrera de la Vega aboard his galleon of the Spanish Armada. This supposed attack by the Spanish galleon happened after the circumstances in which Sparrow and Turner commandeered the Interceptor, a brisk and sturdy vessel formerly of the British Royal Navy, in an act of piracy to sail for Tortuga to recruit a crew. During the voyage, the Interceptor encountered Don Carrera's ship, which was sailing from the Spanish Main. Since the galleon lost the wind, it was being towed by the boats, and approached with oars. The galleon opened fire on the Interceptor, with the Spanish thinking it was a British ship, and Jack and Will were forcibly brought to the deck of the galleon. Carrera de la Vega was delighted to see that his men captured two pirates, but Jack and Will started a fight, during which they managed to break all of the ship's masts. Will managed to defeat Carrera de la Vega in a sword fight, but Jack escaped back to the Interceptor, leaving Will in the hands of the Spanish.
Behind the scenes[]
Carrera de la Vega's ship appeared in the 2006 video game Pirates of the Caribbean: The Legend of Jack Sparrow. However, due to The Legend of Jack Sparrow featuring Jack Sparrow telling an exaggerated version of the events of the 2003 film Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, it is unknown if Carrera de la Vega's ship actually existed.
