Harper drew a graphic adaptation of the song, entitled "The Black Freighter" in the magazine Anarchy No. 2. Comic-book writer Alan Moore cited this song as one of the inspirations for the Black Freighter pirate material in Watchmen. The Nina Simone version also appears on the soundtrack for the motion picture. In the 2019 TV series, Jessica Camacho portrays "Pirate Jenny", a member of the Tulsa police. In The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, also written by Alan Moore, Jenny's revenge fantasy is taken as a literal event in which "Janni", who is Captain Nemo's daughter, is gang raped and summons the crew of the Nautilus to slaughter her rapists and the indifferent spectators alike. The song was inspiration for Lars von Trier's Dogville (2003), a film about a mistreated woman who seeks revenge on her neighbors. The song is paraphrased on Chico Buarque's "Geni e o Zepelim". This song is a number from his musical play Ópera do Malandro, which is based on Brecht's The Threepenny Opera. In Chico's version, Jenny (Geni) ends up saving the city, just to be despised (again) immediately after. Sasha Velour performed a version of the song, with lyrics altered to be about drag, in their short film Pirate Jenny, the first of their 2018 anthology One Dollar Drags. The title is referenced in the song U (Man Like) by Wisconsin based band Bon Iver on their fourth studio album I,I.
