<u><b>Update</b></u>
Hey, not much going on in shooting on site, but there is some stuff going on with the ships. So far there is a total of 5 ships in the movies:
>Endeavor (Plain Ship, not sure what purpose yet)
>Chinese Junk (Chow Yun-Fat playing Chinese Pirate Cheung Po Tsai captains this ship, part of POTC 3)
>Black Pearl (Jack Sparrow's Ship, sinks in POTC 2?)
>Flying Dutchman (Davy Jones' ship, POTC 2 only?)
>Dauntless (From the first movie, British Navy Ship)
You can get some new pictures of the Flying Dutchman at:

Other than that, from the Johnny Depp Forums comes this news:
<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Masterfoods USA is betting a Pirates of the Caribbean tie-in and white chocolate will fend off a slew of new SKUs coming from Hershey.
The company rolled out a dark chocolate version of M&M's in conjunction with May's Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith from Fox. For 2006, it will flip to white chocolate through a tie-in with Disney's summer release of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. The white chocolate M&M's, which will be dubbed Pirate Pearls and sport unique candy shell color blends, are planned to hit retail by June.
Creative from BBDO, New York, likely will showcase movie footage, and POP will dress the animated spokescharacters in pirate garb. A "Win the Treasure" on pack sweepstakes also will include sibling brands Starburst and Skittles. Twix, which also went dark chocolate this year, will be available in a limited edition white chocolate version starting in March.
White chocolate outpaced total chocolate growth by 20% during the first six months of 2005, per IRI. As such, Pirate Pearls have the potential of breaking into the permanent M&M's roster. The candy maker introduced bigger M&M's pieces during its 2003 Shrek 2 promotion, and the in-and-out Shrek Size begot Mega M&M's, which features dark chocolate among its outsized flavors. Spending for the effort was not disclosed. M&M's measured media expenditures were $32 million and $41 million during the respective theater runs of Shrek 2 and Sith, per Nielsen Monitor-Plus.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Also on the Johnny Depp Forum is a excellent spoiler thread for movies 2 and 3 if you look under the POTC I, II, III forum.
