How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
The former pirate haven at the tip of the Palisadoes spit, guarding Kingston harbour, now a British naval base in the game.
The real place
Port Royal was once called the wickedest city on Earth. An earthquake in 1692 swallowed much of the town. Fort Charles, in the photo, survived and is the only fort from that time still standing.
Visiting
Port Royal is a 30-minute drive from Kingston along the Palisadoes. Fort Charles has a small museum and the leaning Giddy House, tilted by a later earthquake.
