{{Quote|It's not like that, sir. This ship is haunted.|[[Bursar]] to [[Captain]] [[Bellamy]]|Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest}}
The '''''Edinburgh Trader''''' was a 169-foot-long [[Merchant vessel|merchant cargo ship]] owned and operated by [[Captain]] [[Bellamy]] and his crew. Upon finding a [[Elizabeth Swann's wedding dress|wedding dress]] owned by [[Elizabeth Swann]], who [[Stowaway|stowed away]] on board, the crew believed the ship to be haunted or that it was a [[spirit]] bringing some omen of ill [[fate]], though later believed it brought good fortune after the "spirit" told them to pull in at [[Tortuga]], where they made profit. When [[Will Turner]] was brought aboard the ''Edinburgh Trader'', having escaped the ''[[Flying Dutchman]]'', [[Davy Jones]] sent the [[Kraken]] to [[Destruction of the Edinburgh Trader|destroy]] the ship.

==History==
{{Quote|There's a ship passing by. I didn't raise the alarm. It's your chance.|[[William Turner Jr.|Bootstrap Bill]] to [[William Turner Jr.|Will Turner]]|Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (comic)}}
The ship was docked at [[Port Royal]] following [[Lord]] [[Cutler Beckett]]'s arrival, and launched for the open water after [[Elizabeth Swann]] escaped from Beckett's custody. Swann stowed away aboard the ''Trader'', disguised as a crewman, intending to reach [[Tortuga]]. To this end, she played on the superstitious nature of the ship's crew, using her wedding dress like a puppet to fool the sailors into believing the ship was haunted by a widow's [[spirit]]. She was ultimately able to persuade the captain to head for [[Tortuga]]. While there, the crew made a tidy profit "off the books."

Later, back on the water, the crew picked up [[William Turner Jr.|Will Turner]], having escaped from the ''[[Flying Dutchman]]''. However, [[Davy Jones]] had set the [[Kraken]] after him, and the legendary leviathan rose, dragging [[Captain]] [[Bellamy]] to the depths, and attacked the ''Edinburgh Trader''. After smashing the masts and snatching crew members with its numerous tentacles, the Kraken brought its largest tentacles down on the ship, splitting it in two right down to the keel before dragging its remains underwater. Will Turner was the sole survivor, as the other six survivors were killed by [[Crew of the Flying Dutchman|Jones' crewmen]] after being brought aboard the ''Flying Dutchman''.

==Design and appearance==
The ''Edinburgh Trader'' was a relatively large but moderately armed merchantman. It was a fully-rigged, three-masted ship armed with 10 4pdr cannons. Such a vessel would have been capable of carrying large amounts of cargo across the [[Atlantic Ocean]] and resisting the attacks of smaller pirate ships.{{Fact}}

*The ''Edinburgh Trader'' was portrayed by the [[HMS Bounty|HMS ''Bounty'']] in ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest]]''. The ''Bounty'' had been constructed for the [[1962]] film ''[[Wikipedia:Mutiny on the Bounty|Mutiny on the Bounty]]'', where it was used as the titular ship. On [[October]] [[2012]], the ''Bounty'' was lost at sea during [[Wikipedia:Hurricane Sandy|Hurricane Sandy]].<ref>[http://www.tallshipbounty.org/the-ship/location.php TallShipBounty.org]</ref> As the weather and sea conditions presented more challenges to director [[Gore Verbinski]] and company as they filmed the Kraken attack on the ''Edinburgh Trader'', [[Rick Heinrichs]]' art department constructed an exact replica of the ''Bounty'' without the "guts" of the ship.<ref name="DMCPressKit">[http://web.archive.org/web/20060902043515/http://adisney.go.com/disneypictures/pirates/downloads/POTC2_PressKit_Final.pdf POTC2 Presskit]</ref>

*The set of the destroyed ''Edinburgh Trader'' was reused for the [[scuttled ship]].{{Fact}} Ironically, both ships were destroyed by the Kraken.
