This legendary vessel was considered to be the fastest ship in the Caribbean, and due to its supernatural nature, the Dutchman could sail both on and beneath the sea. With its seaweed-covered torn sails and barnacle encrusted hull, the Flying Dutchman was a remarkable sight to behold by those unfortunate to cross its path.

In Pirates of the Caribbean, Davy Jones wreaked havoc on the high seas, but the legends surrounding the real ship Flying Dutchman are very different.
The Pirates of the Caribbean films take place as the Golden Age of Piracy is drawing to a close. The first three films, The Curse of the Black Pearl, Dead Man's Chest, and At World's End, borrow from nautical legends surrounding Davy Jones, his infamous Locker, and The Flying Dutchman. The movies chronicle the adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow, Will Turner, and Elizabeth Swann as they face threats from the cutthroat Captain Barbossa, the ever-looming presence of the East India Trading Company, and the impending extinction of pirates. The movies are reminiscent of the swashbuckling adventure films of Errol Flynn, complete with elaborate swordplay. They also rely on the supernatural superstitions embraced by sailors for hundreds of years. The fourth film On Stranger Tides focuses on Jack Sparrow's search for the Fountain of Youth, and the fifth film, Dead Men Tell No Tales, features Jack partnering with Will and Elizabeth's son to find the Trident of Poseidon. more
In the Pirates franchise, The Flying Dutchman's original purpose was to ferry those who died at sea to the afterlife. Calypso entrusted Jones -- once a great sailor -- to serve as captain of the ship, promising that after a decade at sea, Jones could make port and reunite with Calypso. After his first 10 years of service, Jones returned to land, but Calypso wasn't there so the abandoned captain abandoned his duties and roamed the seas, searching for souls to harvest, preying on dying sailors. He promised them that 100 years of servitude on the ship was preferable to the possibility of eternal damnation. Jones goes so far as to call on the sea monster the Kraken to destroy ships to recruit crew members. Unlike the real legends, The Flying Dutchman's fate is essentially the result of a bad breakup.

Prominent amongst these reports of sightings is the one seen by the HMS Bacchante, a British Royal Naval vessel, in the year 1881. Prince George V, who was serving as a midshipman as a part of the vessel crew, is said to have sighted the ghost ship in the Australian waters at around 4’o clock in the morning. And, while the Prince did not encounter any fatality, the seafarer who had first reported about the ghost vessel sighting, met his end after falling down from the top-mast, lending further credibility about the ominous sighting of the vessel among the seafarers of yore. This sighing of Flying Dutchman can reportedly be found in the Admiralty’s official publications in The Cruise of H.M.S. Bacchante. more
It is said that all legends have a basis in fact and the stories about Flying Dutchman bears no exception to this. Of all the spectres of ghost ships perceived to be seen and spoken out aloud, the spectre of sighting the Flying Dutchman ship is one that intensifies the aspect of scariness and eeriness. The Flying Dutchman, a mainstay of maritime lore, is a legendary ghost ship that is doomed to sail the oceans forever since it can’t make port due the rough waters. Originated in the 17th-century, there are a number of stories around the myth of Flying Dutchman, some points to a cursed vessel, while a few suggest the Dutchman refers to the captain of the ship, who destined not to make land despite all his effort. The Flying Dutchman has been captured in paintings and television series and the ship also made appearances in movies such Pandora and the Flying Dutchman (1951) and Dead Man’s Chest (2006) from Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean films.
Despite these logical explanations, many still believe in the existence of such ghost ship. However, in contemporary times, more than ghost ships, the threat of pirate vessels looms on a really massive scale. And, while the spectre of the Dutchman cannot be overruled, skippers and the crew would be more wary of pirate vessels taking advantage of the situation under the guise of a centuries-old ghost vessel rather than sighting an actual ghost ship itself.
In an alternate folklore relation, the captain of the vessel is said to be one whose onboard activities were satanic and whose pride, when encountered a storm in the Cape, led to the ship being mercilessly tossed into its eye instead of turning back. For this sense of courting danger, according to the folklore rendition, the captain and the vessel were cursed to sail the oceans without ever making port or harbour. [links]
