"I hardly believe in ghost stories anymore, Captain Barbossa."
"Aye. That's exactly what I thought when we were first told the tale."

―Elizabeth Swann and Hector Barbossa^[src]

Pirate Lore consists of legends, music, oral history, popular beliefs, fairy tales, stories, tall tales, and customs that were told by pirates and sailors around the world. These stories offers many an adventurer a chance to learn more about the world around them while spinning tales of thrill, adventure, and danger with salty old seadogs. Many lores were made over time; some of which would be believed to be not more than legend.

Behind the scenes[]

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer revealed that while the 2003 film Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl was mainly about the treasure, the 2006 film Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest presented more about the Pirate Lore, specifically in the Blu-Ray/DVD special feature of the same name.^[1] This would lead to the use of various lore in the making of further sequels (the 2007 film Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End and the 2011 film Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides).

In the "Charting The Return" extra for the Dead Man's Chest DVD, director Gore Verbinski stated that every crazy idea was put on the table for the concept of expanding The Curse of the Black Pearl into a trilogy. The Fountain of Youth was one of the ideas he put in particular;^[2] though it ended up in On Stranger Tides.
