Merrick here...
The Black Pearl has arrived in Hawaii after a 10mph journey from the Bahamas to Hawaii via L.A.. She's now docked at Kalaeloa Barbers Point Harbor in Oahu. There, the ship will be prepped for filming of the Rob Marshall directed PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES this Summer.
Here's an embed of a Hawaiian news report which shows the Pearl pulling into port. This report is interesting as it also touches on Hawaii's film industry; the state's film office has...a two person staff...now? That's what they're saying, right? Wow. Talk about overworked.
The embed originates HERE.
Nothing earth shattering - just some interesting infobits about the ramp-up to a film we're certain to be hearing more about quite soon. Stay tuned...
Thanks to Jay for the heads-up about this.
