Actually, Right after the first movie came out, there were TONS of discussions by experts in the field of old style sailing ships. None of them could absolutely identify the type of ship that the Pearl is. The best anyone could do is say that it was a Styleized version, created specifically by Disney, losely based on sections of East Indiamen, Galleon and Frigate.
What they really ended up saying was that the Black Pearl is a figment of Walt Disney engineering.
