Mister Gibbs can you tell me how Uncle Jack became a Captain , "Gibbs" had a very Large smile on his face. "Well young master Turner that's a story that goes back to when Captain Jack first came into this world so you best settle in for awhile ….." Gibbs looked over at the Captain, he was deep in thought so Gibbs figured it would be ok to tell the story to the young lad.
Chapter one
Legend has it Captain Jack Sparrow was born aboard a ship caught in a typhoon, in the Indian Ocean where his father, Captain Teague was Pirate Lord. Jack's mother was an Indian maiden. Captain Teague was the Pirate Lord of Madagascar in the heyday of piracy in that region, around the turn of the 18th Century. Spices, silks, gold, and diamonds were some of the booty to be had by pirating in the rich waters of the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean. Madagascar was a haven for pirates sailing the lucrative Pirate Round. Teague's galleon, the 28-cannon Misty Lady, was registered at Madagascar. Pirate ports were upset on a sporadic pace, the French and English militaries taking control of a pirate base first on one side of the Atlantic Ocean, with the pirates then setting up base on the other side, only to have the militaries follow to the opposite side. So, between the Caribbean and Madagascar, pirate bases sprang up and dissolved on an as-needed basis. Those being the hard facts of a pirate's life.
Jack's infancy and childhood were spent with his family learning the pirate trade from his father aboard the Misty Lady, and at their small Cabin on shipwreck cove It was a happy childhood Jack had, his head filled with tales of the sea from the Lady's crew, his days filled learning to coax and respect a sailing ship as a man does, his emotions ignited or assuaged as his father's hands brought life from a Spanish guitar. His father was a standout among pirates by virtue of his staunch adherence to Pirate Codex.
Jack was at times subjected to the cruel realities of pirate discipline, Seeing crew members harshly whipped or even forced to walk the plank if they where out of line again, hard facts of a pirate life.
Many times young Jack would put on his fathers hat and go to the helm of the ship and bark order at the crew of course the crew would laugh and yell things like aye, aye Captain, of course that was until Captain Teague came out of his cabin to see what was going on. Teague would walk up to Jack, bend down and say "Many dues to be paid yet my son but in due time you well one day sail these seas as a great captain, but until then the hat belongs to me savvy…" and young Jack would nod and run off.
Over the next few years Jack spent as much time as possible with his father on the Misty Lady spending his days dreaming of being a great captain one day and leading his own crew on his own vassal. Jack would watch his father at the helm of the ship and look on in awe of how powerful his dad was and how much he'd wanted to have that kind of power after all his veins where full of pirate blood.
Captain Teague Return his ship to shipwreck cove for a visit home late one night and Jack rushed to their Cabin to see his mum, it had been several months since Jack had last seen her. He entered the dark and quite cabin and whispered, "Mum you in here?". There was no answer so Jack lit a lantern & looked around the cabin, it had been ransacked their belongings tossed everywhere, the stench of stale rum in the air, Jack's breathing was getting heavier by the minute. Then out of nowhere someone grabbed jack and push him too the ground.
