How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
The pirate republic of Nassau, Edward's home port, a ramshackle harbour town with a crumbling fort where Blackbeard, Hornigold and Vane drink and plot.
The real place
In 1715 Nassau really was a lawless base for pirates. Old Fort Nassau stood where the British Colonial hotel is now, the large building at the front left of the photo. The colonial governor Woodes Rogers ended the pirate republic in 1718.
Visiting
The Pirates of Nassau museum on King Street tells the story of the pirate republic. Fort Fincastle and the Queen's Staircase are a short walk up the hill.
