His success did not last forever. As in the true stories of many pirates, he soon met his downfall. He refitted the Venetian galley, but it broke up in a storm and sent 350 men to their deaths at sea. Ward’s reputation never recovered from the disaster as he returned to Tunis. He was considered bad luck, and he was drunk most of the time in his retirement. One source described him as “a fool and an idiot out his trade.” [via History] In his later years, Ward mirrors the washed-up and down on his luck Jack Sparrow of the movies much more closely.

John Ward began his career in the 16th century as a privateer, a pirate sanctioned by a government to attack enemy ships, but when a new king took the English throne, privateering was outlawed. Like many out-of-work privateers, Ward turned to piracy. He heard rumors about a Catholic merchant about to sail his valuables to France, and he persuaded 30 men to join him in taking the ship. The valuables had been removed from the ship before they arrived, but Ward took the ship anyway, and he and his crew started searching for loot on the seas. His career began before the Golden Age of Piracy, but he became one of the most legendary pirates of his time. [links]

Instead of working in Jack Sparrow’s hunting grounds of the Caribbean, Ward made his way to the Mediterranean. He set up his base in Tunis, Tunisia, where an official in the Ottoman Empire welcomed him in exchange for a share of his loot. Ward captured a number of ships sailing the Mediterranean heavy with trade goods, including an enormous Venetian galley that became his greatest success. Meanwhile, he started building himself a mansion fit for a prince in Tunis and took to wearing “curious and costly” attire. A wealthy and respected pirate, but also extremely eccentric, Ward was the picture of Jack Sparrow at his height as captain of the Black Pearl.

Pirates of the Caribbean’s Jack Sparrow may be the worst pirate you’ve ever heard of, but he is based on the real legendary pirate John Ward.

Pirates of the Caribbean’s Jack Sparrow may be the worst pirate you’ve ever heard of, but he is based on the real Barbary pirate John Ward. Johnny Depp modeled his performance of Sparrow after Rolling Stones frontman Keith Richards, considering pirates were the rock stars of their age, but that’s not the only source of inspiration for Pirates of the Caribbean’s beloved character. John Ward, often known as Jack, was nicknamed Sparrow, and his eccentric ways and winding history often parallel his fictional counterpart.

Although John Ward fell from grace, he was considered one of the most notorious English pirates to rule the seas in his day, a fitting inspiration for Jack Sparrow. Even within his lifetime, Ward’s illustrious career spawned books, plays, and songs. His legacy would later be overshadowed by names like Blackbeard, but his exploits still turned him into a folk hero to inspire stories for centuries to come. Pirates of the Caribbean draws heavily from pirate legend and lore, and John Ward had quite a legend.

Among the items we se given, are Jack's iconic hat, the jewels braided into his hair, the red bandanna, and various other trinkets he wears. In short: Jacks's look isn't just for flair or flamboyance - it's a reminder of his first (and perhaps most beloved) moment of glory as pirate captain. [links]

Johnny Depp's Captain Jack Sparrow look has become iconic - and helped Disney sell millions in merchandise like Halloween costumes. Well, we know that Depp's looks and mannerisms were based in part on Rolling Stones rocker Kieth Richards (who is also Jack Sparrow's daddy), but Dead Men Tell No Tales reveals how Jack came up with his look in the continuity of the movies.

[CoinMan]

After Salazar is dead, the newly-appointed Captain Jack finds his men lining up to do what pirates do for a successful captain: pay tribute. The men each offer Jack a personal trinket or treasure - an act that Jack finds intoxicatingly gratifying (which explains his love for also trying to con tribute out of people). more

It's not altogether undeserved: As we state in our official Pirates of the Caribbean 5 review, the film is a fun call back to the earlier days of the franchise, while also revealing new twists and details that will make additional sequels fun to watch. Dead Men Tell No Tales also has the distinction of being the chapter of the franchise which finally reveals an origin story (of sorts) for Johnny Depp's Captain Jack Sparrow!

Read on for the SPOILER-filled reveal of How Jack Sparrow Got His Name, as well as his distinctive pirate look.

Dead Men Tell No Tales contains a pivotal flashback sequence, in which we learn how Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem) went from nearly eradicating the pirate hordes, to losing his life and being cursed to haunt The Devil's Triangle, as a ghostly captain with a murderous haunted crew behind him. That same story, we learn, happens to be the origin of story of how a young Jack became "Captain Jack Sparrow." more
