The Flying Dutchman

The Flying Dutchman is the legendary ship of the legendary pirate Davy Jones.



The Flying Dutchman, according to folklore, is a ghost ship that can never go home, and is doomed to sail the oceans forever. The Flying Dutchman is usually spotted from afar, sometimes seen to be glowing with ghostly light. It is said that if she is hailed by another ship, her crew will often try to send messages to land or to people long since dead. In ocean lore, the sight of this phantom ship is reckoned by seafarers to be a portent of doom.

In Pirates of the Caribbean, the legend is added upon, with Davy Jones offering a doomed sailor service as a crewman of the Flying Dutchman as a way of delaying their deaths.

Crewmembers turn into supernatural beings, slowly morphing into creatures of the sea as they become less and less human and more an actual part of the ship itself.

The wretched men who have chosen this fate appear in the game on Isla Tormenta, where they labor of Davy. They are also some of the most hardened enemies a pirate will ever face.
