  7. Van der Decken, Ramhout van Dam, Davy Jones, etc. depending on which version. Marryat's, Irving's, and Disney's respectively.

  9. Davy Jones!

  10. Just watch the "Pirates of the Carabien"

  11. From Wikipedia: The Captain is called Van der Decken (meaning of the decks) in Marryat's version and Ramhout van Dam in Irving's version. Sources disagree on whether "Flying Dutchman" was the name of the ship, or a nickname for her captain.

    Most people seem to believe that a real Captain was the inspiration for the Legend of the Flying Dutchman, and that captain was named Bernard Fokke (rumoured to be in league with the Devil for the speeds he accomplished on some of his trips.)

    Reading the whole article gives you a lot of the history behind the legend and is quite interesting.

  13. Davy Jones man. Listen to jack, he know the answers

  14. At the beginning of the movie, it's Davy Jones.  Now it's Orland Bloom, I mean Will Turner.  lol ; )
