Continuity mistake: In the scene where the two sailors have found Jack's hat in the water, they try it on in turn.

As he crawls in the first shot, note the sword's hilt and particularly the hand guard, with its wide part facing up. In the next shot the direction of the hand guard has changed, with its wide part now facing the ground (this has nothing to do with camera angle). (01:58:45)
