Who be this scallywag

This salty old sea dog learned his pillaging and plundering on the shores of the mighty Pacific. I paid me dues to Davy Jones in the Far East, in a place called Urayasu, and then was spit out from the bowels of the Kraken and washed ashore back to the sands of the Puget Sound. I sail a small but proud vessel. I take no prisoners and give no quarter. And I love a good scare--All Hallow's Eve being me favourite nite of the year. Ye best steer clear of me pirate haunt, lest ye be trapped by the poor souls of Sailors' Grave!

POTC Trivia

-POTC was originally conceived as a walk-through attraction.
-One working name for the attraction in the early stages was "Pirates of the Spanish Main."
-The only scene in POTC that was created as full mock-up was the auction scene.
-The "Take a Wench for a Bride" sign was created to justify the auctioning of women in the auction scene.
-Actual skeletons were used in the original grotto scenes because Imagineers were not satisfied with the quality of the faux skeletons. These were later replaced with plastic "bucky" skeletons.
-The "firewater" liquid "pouring" down the throat of the skeleton in the bar scene was achieved using a twisting piece of plastic.
-The portrait of the redheaded woman is a portrait of the redheaded woman being auctioned later in the ride after she has acclimated to a lifestyle with pirates many years later.
-The coat of arms in the treasure room at WDW reads "Marci Daviso", a tribute to Marc Davis.
-The painting protruding from the sack of treasure along the upramp is a reproduction of Peter Ustinov as Edward "Blackbeard" Teach in the Disney film Blackbeard's Ghost.
-POTC was never intended to be a part of Walt Disney World until guests complained about the missing attraction.
-Marc Davis originally conceived of a queue scene at Walt Disney World's POTC that included a pirate that would transform into a skeleton using the Pepper's Ghost effect.
-The captain's quarters was omitted from the haunted caverns in Tokyo Disneyland.
