Elizabeth Swann conceived a child during the single day she spent with Will Turner after he became the new captain of the Flying Dutchman.
The Conception of Henry Turner
Elizabeth Swann's pregnancy occurred shortly after a significant turning point in the conflict against Davy Jones. Following a fierce battle where Davy Jones fatally wounded Will Turner, Will himself retaliated by piercing Jones' heart. This act transformed Will into the new, immortal captain of the Flying Dutchman, a crucial moment in the pirates' ultimate victory.

It was during this precious and singular day, amidst their farewell, that Elizabeth became pregnant, conceiving their son, Henry Turner.
