Arrrrr!
So my research elbow got jogged by the second viewing of PotC, and the desire to sort of pin down the dating of the movie (and the sudden crossover with the Three Musketeers at the end) (As much as one can with a movie based one a *ride*. Thanks, Lori.)
We start with a Short History of Tortuga, move onto Port Royal, Jamaica and detour slightly to Sir Henry Morgan, a pirate of note who became the deputy governor of Jamaica, and played rather a large part in the histories of both towns.
I'm thinking mid 1670s, maybe 1680s. Charles II was king of England, Louis XIV king in France. (It is, it *is* the Musketeers!)

And if Jack, Will and Elizabeth were Musketeers, which one would be which?
I started out thinking that Will had mugged D'Artagnan on his way to save Jack from the gallows and claim Elizabeth (lamest part of the movie), but he could easily take the part. (Except for not being French) And Jack has to be Porthos. Which leaves Elizabeth with Aramis and Athos, neither of which she fits. And certainly not Milady deWinter. Hrmm.
