Lost at Sea
aka the tragedy of whatever became of Elizabeth Swann’s mother in PotC canon.
Author’s note: In my PotC writings, I have a little headcanon where Joshamee Gibbs’ canon (mentioned) sister Margaret (who marries a lawyer) is my Margaret Gibbs-Swann who married Weatherby (who was also a lawyer before becoming Governor). I also headcanon that their father is Captain Charles Gibbs, a decorated Royal Navy Captain (with a secret history of piracy that wasn’t discovered until posthumously but that’s another story), and that the Gibbs family are from Bristol. This story takes place approximately a year before the CotBP prologue & the crossing from England.
tw death.
⚓
“It is my sad duty to report that Captain Charles Gibbs has gone to his great reward. Heart attack. At least he did not suffer.”
The decorated Captain Charles Gibbs has passed away.
The Swann family - the newly appointed Governor Weatherby, his wife Margaret, and their young daughter Elizabeth had traveled form London to Margaret’s hometown Bristol for the funeral and its aftermath. Fortunately for Weatherby being a lawyer, there were some additional legal matters to be addressed with the late Captain Gibbs’ will (notably reverting Charles disowning his son Joshamee — Margaret’s brother — on the grounds of Joshamee’s suspected affiliation with pirates and rumrunning), which were soon after settled smoothly.
When Weatherby received word of his need to return to London, Margaret asked her husband to bring Elizabeth with him and return without her, as she needed more time to grieve her father’s passing.
What Margaret was really hoping was that she would run into her brother again.
Her patience was rewarded. One of the Royal Navy ships made port and Margaret was able to get a final reunion with her brother Joshamee. He couldn’t stay for long as his ship was going to leave port in only a few days, but he was more than obliging to catch up on lost time with his sister, and grateful she was able to restore him to the Gibbs family inheritance.
Among said inheritance was Captain Charles Gibbs’ 3 ships. HMS Ol’ Navigator, a schooner. La Perla (The Pearl), a sloop. And The Tempest, a dinghy ((much like the one Captain Jack Sparrow sails in his intro scene in CotBP)).
With her brother’s aid, Margaret sold the schooner, giving Joshamee the additional funds. She keeps the sloop for herself and her family’s use once they are settled in Port Royal. Finally when a fisherman sailor asked if he could purchase the dinghy, at the last minute Margaret decides to keep it for one more day because in a spur of the moment ‘call of the sea’ she decides to go sailing aboard the Tempest with her brother for one last adventure - for old times sake.
It was the dinghy their late father would take them on when they were children and Margaret as a Captain’s daughter first learned to sail on. It was a carefree day of high spirits on the high seas, and where Joshamee and Margaret could finally fulfill a childhood sibling promise.
The next day the Royal Navy ship departs Bristol Harbour, and Joshamee bids farewell to his sister.
It was the last time they would ever see each other.
Margaret writes to her husband and daughter of her expected return to London on the morrow, of her eagerness to be reunited with them again, of her brief reunion with her brother, and of her father’s sloop La Perla to be sailed to Port Royal by their dear friend Captain Hawkins so they can go sailing together once they’ve settled in their new home in the Caribbean.
Debating what to do with the dinghy the Tempest, and probably deciding it would be best to sell it after all to the sailor, Margaret decides to take it out for one last sail. The sailor she’s going to sell it to offers to accompany her, but she politely declines. The Tempest sets sail in good weather and fair winds with its lone captain from Bristol Harbour and the sailor watched it vanish on the horizon.
...
Lady Margaret Gibbs-Swann never returned to London on the morrow nor did she ever return to the docks to sell the dinghy to the sailor.
The sailor said that night in Bristol there was a storm that appeared on the far horizon in the late afternoon and came on a downpour overnight. He asked all the dock workers and harbormaster whether Captain Gibbs’ dinghy the Tempest & Lady Swann ever returned to port, but it did not and neither did she.
No one knew whatever became of her, and while Weatherby did everything he could in his power to search for his wife lost at sea, the Bristol locals could only quietly mourn, knowing “The unforgiving seas must have stolen another one.”
