The Walt Disney Co. has anchored a piece of its Pirates of the Caribbean franchise at its little, company-owned piece of the Caribbean.
A 175-foot mock pirate ship, modeled after the Flying Dutchman from the new movie Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, is anchored at Disney's island getaway, Castaway Cay.
Disney developed a portion of Castaway Cay, a 1,000-acre island in the Bahamas, to be a port of call for Disney Cruise Line ships on Caribbean cruises.
In the movie, the Flying Dutchman's commander is the legendary Davy Jones, the nemesis of Capt. Jack Sparrow.
The film's ship prop, complete with ragged sails and barnacle-encrusted bow, was made to look as if it was raised from the ocean floor to haunt the open seas. The Flying Dutchman will provide a photo backdrop, and Disney Cruise Line passengers may rent boats on the island to get a close look.
