Intro. About a year after the incident at Isla de Muerta, Lord Cutler Beckett was sent to Port Royal with the blessing of the Crown and officially appointed to the Royal Commission for Trade and Protection of the Antilles, which gave him extraordinary powers at both the state and military levels. \[ 23 \] Beckett used his arrival in Port Royal to show how powerful he was. Royal Navy ships seal off the port. Marines march in lockstep along the dock. Beckett himself was rowed ashore astride a white horse in a longboat, \[ 9 \] \[ 10 \] he had arrived aboard HMS Endeavour. Lord Beckett had planned his arrival so that he could disrupt the wedding of William Turner and Elizabeth Swann, and brought arrest warrants for Will, Elizabeth, and former Commodore James Norrington, all of whom had been involved in Jack Sparrow's escape from Fort Charles.
