- "Your attention! Your captain is speaking."
"Jack, my friend, you may think you are a captain, but look closely around you. This is surely not a ship, and we are hardly a crew." - ―Jack Sparrow and Fitzwilliam P. Dalton III
The crew of the mighty Barnacle, otherwise known as the crew of the Barnacle was the first motley crew of a young Captain Jack Sparrow during his earliest adventures as a teenage stowaway. Known as the fearless crew of the mighty Barnacle, Jack Sparrow's mates first set out on the quest for the legendary Sword of Cortés, a weapon with unearthly power. Throughout their quest, the crew of the Barnacle encountered sea beasts, cursed pirates, and the cunning and vicious merfolk.
History[]
- "And oh, from now on, please remember...it's Captain Jack Sparrow!"
- ―Jack Sparrow
Jack's first crew was comprised of himself, Arabella Smith and Fitzwilliam P. Dalton III, sailing from Salty Cove in a small boat called the Barnacle. Setting out to find the Sword of Cortés, the crew arrived at Isla Esquelética, where they picked up three further crew members: Jean Magliore and Tumen, as well as Jean's sister-turned-feline, Constance Magliore. The crew went on to defeat Captain Torrents, after which Jack assumed the title of "Captain".[1]
Jack abandoned his crew on Isla Fortuna a short time later, after the Sword of Cortés transformed the Barnacle into a grand galleon called the Grand Barnacle. With the Sword's power, Jack was able to man the ship alone, but was unable to prevent it from destroying a British naval vessel. The ship was later returned to normal, and the spirit of Hernán Cortés defeated.[3] The crew continued to sail under Jack's command, and picked up an additional member when Tim Hawk escaped the clutches of Madame Minuit on New Orleans.[2] The crew would later leave the ship to return to their respective homes,[4] leaving only Jack and Fitzwilliam to brave an encounter with Davy Jones. Fitzwilliam later betrayed Jack, revealing himself to be a spy to the combined forces of the British Royal Navy and the East India Trading Company, which led the Barnacle to be destroyed.[5] Jack would soon be reunited with his friends.[6]
