A ship like the Endeavour has over a hundred guns, the cream of which is 15x 32 pounders and 14x 24 pounders per side. This scene is probably what bothered me most about the entire movie. The double broadside penetrates the power magazine, destroying the Endeavour in a series of massive explosions and killing Cutler Beckett. Some of the crew do so, but Beckett remains on board. This forced his second-in command, Lieutenant Groves, to give the order to abandon ship. Beckett was so shocked, he is unable to give orders. Jack orders the same thing and the Black Pearl and the Flying Dutchman begin a double broadside on the Endeavour. The ship and crew revert to their original forms and Will orders his new crew to ready the ship's weapons. Unknown to him, the ship is under the command of its new captain, Will Turner and is now on the pirates' side. As the Endeavour approaches the Pearl, the Flying Dutchman suddenly resurfaces and Beckett is happy as he believes that the ship is still on his side. Jack, to everyone's surprise, orders the crew to hold all canvas (sails) and not run. And has not chance of winning the battle and even to come alive which was sure victory situation at start.ĭespite losing the Flying Dutchman, Beckett remains confident of his victory and takes out the Endeavour to destroy the Black Pearl personally. He was shocked by fact that he lost the Dutchman.
