blackpearlmaelstrom Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is gearing up for production this summer, with the recent casting of Penelope Cruz and Ian McShane as Blackbeard, and now AICN has directed us to a news report from Hawaii New Now which shows The Black Pearl docking at the Kalaeloa Barbers Point Harbor in Oahu. The ship ventured on a 10mph journey from the Bahamas to Hawaii via Los Angeles, and will now be worked on in preparation for filming under the direction of Rob Marshall.

The report also talks about how the production is expected to generate around $85 million in direct and indirect spending on the Islands, and provide hundreds of jobs for local residents.
