I know it's unlikely but it might be that the Jewel of the Realm (renamed Jolly Roger) was the King of Arrendale's HMS. Hook sold his ship to gain a magic bean. What if the king has learned of that and managed to reclaim his ship? Hook stole it from him after all. The creators also said, that it is unlikely we will ever learn who that king was.

You need to remember, that Hook is over 300 years old. The king he rebelled against, is long dead. This theory is highly unlikely..... unless Hook traded his ship to a zombie.
