Part XI | Sinking the Clam | The Paisley Carousel
~
Abeline was eclipsed by something bigger than she was on a
Black Moon night in the bayou's shrouded realm.

“...that last good morning sunrise will be the brightest you've ever seen...” [2]

The next morning Davy Jones set sail on his old, decrepit pirate ship for San Antonio, Texas. Jake discovered the Pink Pearl resting half-submerged in the roots of the giant Teak Tree Abeline used to sit at while fortune-telling.
"Come on Timur. Help me get this out of here."
Timur looked uneasy. "I don't know how we're going to do that. There isn't a ship within 1,000 miles of here."
Captain Jack Sparrow looked at Jake sitting in the water with the Pink Pearl in his lap.
"Why don't we use this tree and build one?"
Eventually, the ship is built and the crew sets sail for Havana with the Pink Pearl and Calypso on board. Meanwhile, Sinbad arrives along the muddy shores of Paisley City looking to exchange the Golden Clam for the Pink Pearl. His Sumerian Warriors discover that Jake's crew have already set sail and the Pink Pearl is nowhere to be found. They lower the Clam [4] into the waters near the abode of the Golden Sorceress, leaving it permanently under her watch.
