OOOOh! Shock and horror! What a blooper Mike!

The Wicked Wench was never Hook's Pirate Ship, unless Disney has been committing sacrilege again, like he did with the Peter Pan/Hook re-enactments on what I seem to remember was a repro USS Constitution, or possibly some other historic US ship. Google doesn't want to tell me it's name. Just wants to tell me about Disney Cruise Liners.

The Wicked Wench was under Cap'n Jack Sparrow's command when she was burned and sunk. She was then later resurrected by Davy Jones to become The Black Pearl.

There is a book published telling of Jack's early life, but it's no longer on my shelf ... lent to a friend ... and I can't remember it's title. It's a damn good read, and does explain many of the happening untold by Disney.

As to my making a Hook's Ship ... the long awaited Chicken of the Sea from Robert Nava is gonna be way too big for me, so I guess the old Plastic ones are looking favourite. That old original one is worth over £100 now, but it's only money, and I did buy it with the intention of building it. The Ghost Ship is only worth £20 now, so I just might explore that first.Pity such things can't be scanned and reprinted like our paper models, eh?

I just found that Prequel book on Amazon It's called "The Price of Freedom" by A C Crispin.
