Corrected entry: In the opening scene, the line that keeps the umbrella that is floating in the water pointed straight up is visible in the shot of the umbrella floating past the side of the ship. (00:02:10)

Corrected entry: Townspeople in Port Royal have shoes fastened by Velcro which was not invented until the mid-1900s.
Correction: The townspeople have shoes fastened with either laces or buckles.
Corrected entry: Port Royal, Jamaica, is built on a low spit of sand south of Kingston Harbor, nowhere more than about ten feet above sea level. The movie set has it built atop hundred-foot basaltic cliffs.
Correction: Even if the city IS meant to represent Port Royale, Jamaica, its look is not inaccurate. It is true that modern-day Port Royale is much different, but that is due to the earthquake of June 7, 1692 that destroyed the original Port Royale and sank it beneath the waves, altering the island's geography significantly. The time period of the movie is before the earthquake, when Port Royale was still a thriving buccaneer haven.
