A mutiny occurred on board the infamous pirate ship Black Pearl while the crew was searching for the treasure of Cortés. Three days into the voyage, the first mate of the Pearl, Hector Barbossa, tricked Captain Jack Sparrow into giving up the bearings to Isla de Muerta. That night, mutineers led by Barbossa overtook the Black Pearl and marooned their former captain to die on a deserted island. After finding the treasure, the crew of the Black Pearl fell under the Aztec curse, which could be lifted by returning all the Aztec Gold pieces. However, Bootstrap Bill Turner felt guilty from Barbossa's mutiny against Jack Sparrow because it wasn't right with the Pirate's Code, and sent a piece of the treasure to his only child, asserting that the crew deserved to remain cursed.
