"The Black Pearl", Newport, Rhode Island for Weathervane Wednesday

 This weathervane was photographed on the waterfront in Newport, Rhode Island.

This fantastic weathervane was photographed at The Black Pearl restaurant, 30 Bannister's Wharf, Newport, Rhode Island.  The weathervane is located on a signpost above the restaurant, not on the roof or on a cupola.  The name Black Pearl is well known from the popular movie series "Pirates of the Caribbean", as Capt. Jack Sparrow's ship. 

The weathervane is a very detailed two dimensional, double masted sailing ship. Unfortunately it doesn't look like a pirate ship, but perhaps there was another Black Pearl yacht.  I love that the details even include waves fore and aft. You can see the windows, rigging and sails.  Even the patina on the weathervane is interesting.
