Many of you are likely fans of Captain Jack and may know him for his exploits on the Big Screen. Some of us know Jack from his less advertised and more adventurous antics. I have decided to gather up a few wonderful bits of imagery and ideas which are currently published online for your enjoyment.
After reading this passage at Pirates/Wikia.com I remembered how interesting it was to finally see Captain Teague in Pirates II and understand that he was actually one of the authors of the song 'Jumpin Jack Flash' for the Rolling Stones.
Jumpin' Jack Flash lyrics
I was born in a cross-fire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain,
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right. I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash, It's a gas! Gas! Gas!
I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag,
I was schooled with a strap right across my back,
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right, I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash, It's a gas! Gas! Gas!
I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead.
I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled.
I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread.
I was crowned with a spike right thru my head.
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right, I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash, It's a gas! Gas! Gas!
Check out the similarities of the story lines... its awesome....
Jack Sparrow was an infamous pirate captain in the Caribbean, most notably in command of the Black Pearl. The son of Captain Teague, Jack was born onboard a ship caught in the middle of a typhoon, off the coast of India. At some point in his career Jack obtained the title of Pirate Lord, his domain being the Caribbean Sea. Over the course of time Jack became the stuff of legend and many tales were told of his exploits, most of these tales however were fabrications concocted by Sparrow to bolster his reputation. Despite his many deceptions though, Jack did embark on a great number of adventures. Many of these involved the supernatural, and indeed, Jack's ultimate ambition was to achieve immortality, and the freedom to sail the Seven Seas as a legendary pirate for eternity.
The film captures at this site are stunning as you can see and there are lots to collect....
as a matter of fact, the way the site reads there will adventures of a teenage Captain Jack as well...
One passage actually explains how Jack became a captain:
Arabella leads Jack to an abandoned ship, the Barnacle, he was given command, and, following a sword fight that Jack lost, found his second crew member in a man named Fitzwilliam P. Dalton III. Having braved a storm conjured by Torrents, Jack, Arabella and Fitzwilliam soon encountered two more sailors, Tumen and Jean Magliore—the latter providing one further crew member in the form of his cat, Constance Magliore, who was once Jean's sister before being transformed by Tia Dalma.
With a ship and a crew, not to mention part of the treasure of Stone-Eyed Sam, a now-dead former pirate king with a fabled stone eye who was said to be holding the Sword, Captain Jack Sparrow set off to find the elusive Sword of Cortés. The crew was confronted by Captain Torrents, though Jack was able to counter his control of lightning by splashing him with rainwater collected in his appropriated hat. He claimed that he had taught a young Benjamin Franklin this trick, and hoped "Benny" would remember it.
There are many, many, many Captain Jack stories left for the telling at this site along with a few other goodies....
Love this one! There are so many that you might have to visit it several times to read and see it all...
You should go and have a read at pirates.wikia.com/wiki/Jack_Sparrow for all the details!
