Jolly Mon

The Jolly Mon is a boat featured in Disney's 2003 swashbuckling film, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.
==Background==
It was a small fishing dory originally owned by Anamaria, until it was commandeered by Captain Jack Sparrow. Jack would use the boat in some of his adventures, including towards Shipwreck Cove, where he was to wed Scarlett and Giselle. After Scarlett took four nails out of the Jolly Mon, the boat gradually sank as Jack Sparrow arrived to the Port Royal harbor.
==Background==
It is unknown when the Jolly Mon was built, but it is known that Anamaria was the proud owner of it and would use the it as a fishing boat until Jack Sparrow stole it from her; he claimed he had intended to bring it back to its rightful owner, but he would never managed this.

=== Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl===
Jack Sparrow sailed the Jolly Mon into Port Royal during the opening of the film where Jack is introduced. Throughout the voyage, Jack would spend some time trying to get water out of the boat. By the time Jack arrived at Port Royal, the Jolly Mon was sinking beneath the wave. Jack reached Port Royal's docks moments before the boat was completely sunk, leaving only the top of its single mast above water just as he approaches a harbormaster nearby.
===Wedlocked===
On board the Jolly Mon, Jack would venture to many ports. He likely used it during his separate dates with two wenches, Scarlett and Giselle. It would later make port in Shipwreck City, where Scarlett and Giselle were convinced, by Jack, that they would be wed. However, it was a plan of Jack's to sell them as he sail away to find another better ship to commandeer. But before Jack left, Scarlett would have taken four nails off of the Jolly Mon, in case Jack had cold feet of her supposed wedding.
