Page "Will Turner" Paragraph 4

Will is " Bootstrap " Bill Turner's only child.

According to Jack Sparrow, Will strongly resembles his father, both in appearance and ability.

However, his father was absent during his early childhood in England ( he was born in Glasgow, Scotland but his mother moved him to England when he was young ) and Will grew up believing him to be a merchant seaman.

Following his mother's death, Will, then about twelve years old, emigrated to Port Royal, searching for his father, and, after being rescued from a shipwreck, was apprenticed to a blacksmith.

The Black Pearl crew have been searching for the gold medallion that " Bootstrap " sent Will, which Captain Barbossa needs to break an ancient Aztec curse.

And Barbossa also tried to keep Elizabeth Swann captive.
