James Norrington's promotion ceremony was the ceremony that saw Captain James Norrington's promotion to commodore of the British Royal Navy fleet, taking place at Fort Charles in the British settlement of Port Royal. Norrington's promotion ceremony at the fort was a glittering military spectacle. Pipes and drums play as sailors and marines marched in perfect formation. Norrington himself was the star of the show as he was given a new sword by Governor Weatherby Swann. After the ceremony, Commodore Norrington proposed to Governor Swann's beautiful daughter, Elizabeth. Unfortunately, Elizabeth's corset spoiled everything, as she plunged swooning from the battlements into the sea.
