Hello. I'm new here. Sorry to barge in like this...
My gunner and I were disturbed by this, because the rest of the crew, as long as the curse lasted, were "undead" and not killable. Does that mean that Bootstrap (to whom the curse clearly applied) was chained to a cannon at the bottom of the sea alive (or at least undead) for all these years?
I don't think Bootstrap was undead. For one thing, it's clearly said that they drowned him. You don't drown a corpse. I was wondering about that for a while, but then I realized that he probably didn't take a medallion from the chest, and therefore wasn't cursed. Instead, being the only living member of the crew, he stole a medallion from the others and sent it to his son, to have *them* stay cursed. That's what I thought, anyway. They may have needed his blood too because he was present when the crime was committed.
