[Pirates of the Caribbean] Why was the Black Pearl cursed in the first movie?

Through out the movie the Black Pearl is always bound by the same fog that surrounds the Isla de Muerta, as well as having no problem sailing with extremely torn apart sails, like the clothes of the crew when under moonlight. We see in later movies that this wasn't part of the abilties the Pearl gained when Davy Jones rised her from the depths as the mortal crew had to fix the sails and there's never any supernatural fog following her.

How did that happen?

The pearl had technically two cursed captains and an entire cursed crew. And a whole boatload of cursed gold on board at one point. The ship without davy Jones protection was only floating because of the hexes and curses on her. Once those were gone she was still a supernatural vessel just no longer a cursed vessel.
