"The 91ft-long tall ship The Black Pearl, of Pirates of the Caribbean fame, is a full-size replica of the original HMS Bounty.
It was built for the 1962 film Mutiny on the Bounty, starring Marlon Brando, which looked at the infamous Royal Navy mutiny of 1789 in the Southern Pacific ocean.
Bill Broadbent, harbour master for British Waterways, said: "We are thrilled to welcome this historic ship to Liverpool before she makes her world voyage.
"We're expecting lots of visitors this weekend as this is a once-in-a lifetime experience to board a vessel that has captured the imagination of millions on the silver screen."
Councillor Warren Bradley, leader of Liverpool City Council, said: "Liverpool has welcomed many great vessels in our 800 years but few are as famous as one that has starred as both HMS Bounty and The Black Pearl"
We had a thread going on this topic last month. Many theorized which model kit might make the best conversion for the Black Pearl. This would suggest the the HMS Bounty and the Black Pearl are one and the same. Which would mean that a Bounty kit would convert to a Black Pearl with not much trouble.
