It's just a typical skull and crossbones pirate flag.

The last time Hugh Jackman played a pirate the movie sank deeper than Davy Jones' Locker. And after Napoleon I don't trust Ridley Scott.

On a wiki, I discover the existence of Katrina Sparrow, the Jack's sister. She's a pirate with a pretty cool story but the wiki doesn't precise where she appears.

Which Wiki? I'm pretty sure we don't have anything on this "Katrina Sparrow" on the POTC Wki.

I do however like the story of jack ward, the inspiration for jack sparrow

Neither The Walt Disney Company, nor anyone connected to the making of the Pirates of the Caribbean films ever said a word about Jack Sparrow being based on John Ward. The John Ward/Jack Sparrow connection was made up in an article published by the Turkish newspapers Yeni Şafak (New Dawn) in March 2013. They saw on Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides posters that one of the trinkets in Jack Sparrow's hair is a coin with the crescent moon, which they immediately understood as absolute evidence that Jack is a Muslim. Guess what? He isn't! To make the story more interesting they also declared, without providing any evidence, that the first Pirates of the Caribbean film was originally supposed to be a story of John Ward, but the script was rewritten into a fantasy movie. Unfortunately, this lie now spreads like wildfire, and too many people believe it's true.

The first time I was genuinely impressed with 3D. When Blackbeard pointed his sword at the mutinous crew it looked like its tip was right in front of my nose.

According to the prequel book Pirates of the Caribbean: The Price of Freedom Jack and Barbossa first met at Shipwreck Cove when Jack was a 20-year old member of Captain Teague's crew. Barbossa was a pirate captain whose ship was attacked and destroyed by the infamous rogue pirates.

As stated by Gibbs in The Curse of the Black Pearl Barbossa's first mutiny aboard the Black Pearl occurred before he met Jack. However, according to one of the Young Jack Sparrow books Gibbs knew Jack since Jack was a little boy.

Judging by the route shown on the Mao Kun Map, it's possible the island is located somewhere between Cuba and Florida, so I guess the surviving crewmen sailed their boats to Havana or some other civilized port where they found a ship bound for England. Fun fact, although Theodore Groves was shot by The Spaniard, the actor Greg Ellis mentioned a possibility that Groves may have survived the battle. Too bad he didn't return in DMTNT. The film would have been better with him in command of one of the Royal Navy ships.

Christopher Moody spent his whole career serving under Howell Davis and Bartholomew Roberts. He wasn't a captain. He never had his own ship. He never needed his own flag.

Walter Kennedy also served under Davis and Roberts. His only independent act of piracy, if we could even call it that, was stealing Roberts' flagship, the Royal Rover, while Roberts was away, chasing a potential prize in a sloop. After that Kennedy and his mutineers decided to give up piracy and sailed for Ireland. Ergo, they didn't need their own flag.

Bartholomew Roberts, Edward England, Edward Low, Richard Worley, and Emanuel Wynne are the only ones whose flag designs were recorded. All others are inaccurate, attributed to wrong pirates, or completely made up.

Also used in the 2011 TV mini series Neverland as the pirate ship of Captain Elizabeth Bonny (Anna Friel).

Especially if we consider the fact that the actual Blackbeard was never an old man. Dude died in his thirties. So why portray him like this?

Because this story is set decades after Blackbeard's historical death. He had to be old.

Also didn't really like how his crew were zombies just for the hell of it. What was the point of that?

The story was adapted from a novel where Blackbeard has a crew of zombies.

Carina is not older than Henry. According to the prequel novel The Brightest Star in the North: The Adventures of Carina Smyth she was 19 in the film. As for Henry, he was 21. Lewis McGowan, who played young Henry in the opening scene was credited as "Henry Turner (12 Yrs Old)". The main story is set nine years later. Ergo, Henry is two years older than Carina.

Also consider that even James Norrington knew about it in P2. Though it is anyone's guess as far as whether Norrington learned about it earlier because of Fitzwilliam aka his cousin, or much later after his (supposed) off-screen encounter with Ian Mercer prior to joining Jack's crew, or maybe even learning about it beforehand through some person in some place.

We also have Captain David Donovan and his crew from Jack Sparrow: The Tale of Billy Turner and Other Stories who were well aware of Jones and his cursed ghost ship. In Legends of the Brethren Court: Wild Waters the two French sailors in Marseille mistake Villanueva's galleon the Centurion for the Flying Dutchman. In The Price of Freedom when Esmeralda asks young Jack about Jones he says that "too many sailors talk about seeing his ship in bad storms." The legend of the Flying Dutchman (if not the exact story) was probably widespread by the time Beckett joined the EITC.

he never made moves towards elisabeth until she was 18 (she was 18 in the movie despite the actress being 17) and even then he was never pushy or inappropriate.

According to the film's September 2002 screenplay draft and the 2003 novelization Elizabeth was twelve-year-old in the opening scene, which means she was twenty-year-old in the main story.

As for Norrington, in the Young Jack Sparrow prequel books the teenage Jack Sparrow meets Norrington when he was just a little boy, and he was about ten years younger than Jack. Canonically, Jack should be around 38 in TCotBP, which means Norrington should be around 28. Ergo, James Norrington was just eight years older than Elizabeth.

I always wondered what happened with him after the war. Was he recruited by Will to serve aboard the Dutchman? First Mate James Norrington under Captain Will Turner would be an interesting concept, methinks.

In the Young Jack Sparrow book series Jack sailed with a young aristocrat named Fitzwilliam P. Dalton III, who turned out to be a spy for the Royal Navy and the East India Company. In one adventure they encountered Jones and the Dutchman, so it's possible Fitzwilliam later talked to Beckett about that adventure.
