Notes and references

1. ↑ Pirates of the Caribbean video game
2. ↑ In Pirates of the Caribbean: The Price of Freedom Jack was 25 when Cutler Beckett gave him command of the Wicked Wench. One year later Beckett burned the Wench and Jack made a deal with Davy Jones who raised the Wench in exchange for Jack's soul. When Jones came to collect his debt thirteen years later Jack was 39. The events of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales are set approximately 22 years after the War Against Piracy in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, as evidenced by Henry Turner who was 21 during the Quest for the Trident of Poseidon and who was born nine months after the battle of Calypso's maelstrom which makes a 22-years gap between the two events, making Jack 61 in Dead Men Tell No Tales. The comic adaptation of Dead Men Tell No Tales sets the events of the film in 1751, which sets Jack's birth in 1690.
