CAPTAINS LOG
dated 6.02.86



June 2nd was a solemn day.

Our beloved Captain Sparrow was committed to the sea at dusk, his favorite time of day. Invited were the previous crew of the Pearl, Captain Elizabeth Turner and her crew, and any surviving Pirate Lords. A total of fifty-five were in attendance.

Masters Ragetti and Pintel took the duty of sewing him in. I, Joshamee Gibbs, then took part in assisting them commit Jack to the Atlantic.

I am sorry to report that following Jack's death we have lost half our crew at the port of St. John's. The other half are expected to leave at our next port, Tortuga. Recruiting new crew members will take place there.

Under my orders, no crewmember has swabbed the area of deck where Captain Sparrow died. He was a part of this ship, and this ship was a part of him--and so it shall be until they meet again at the ocean's bottom. I realize that it is morbid that they should be united in this way, but that area of deck shall serve as a memorial to the great memory Jack leaves behind.
I know it's short, but I wrote three of these, all aftermaths of Jack's suicide.

Just showing how he really affected the world, you know? Even if he don't like/believe it, he made a big impact on the world.

This is from Gibbs' POV, the next is Elizabeth's, and then Jack's.
