The movie "Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl" featured the HMS Dauntless as the Pride of the Royal Navy, but in search of pirates instead of Frenchmen or Americans. It was certainly a scourge for Captain Jack Sparrow and Capt. Hector Barbosa.
The movie Dauntless was based on the HMS Victory, a 100-gun first rate ship-of-the-line. It carried Governor Swann and his daughter Elizabeth from England to his post in the Caribbean.
