The Black Pearl?

For the past few months Disney has been filming the 4th installment of Pirates of the Caribbean here on Oahu. When they first brought in the Black Pearl at the beginning of the year we went to go take pictures of it. So with my mom in town, she wanted to go see it too. We took her to the harbor where it was docked, but it looked NOTHING like the Black Pearl we saw in Feb. Whaaat? (If you would like to compare pictures, refer to my Feb. post) It looked like it had been to burned to pieces, and possessed by demons. Crazy. It just made we wonder what in the heck happens to this ship in the movie. These next 3 pictures are at Barber's Point on the west side of the island. I think they made it hard to get a good picture on purpose. Grrrr. We heard they were filming on the east side of the island, so we went to go check it out one day. We did not get to see Johnny Depp (Dallin was so disappointed! He had his little autograph book and everything), but we DID find out what is up with this ship. It turns out that when Disney brought in the Black Pearl they filmed all the shots they needed to, then they transformed it into this ship, which is called Queen Anne's Revenge. No wonder it didn't look like the same ship.
