Fort Charles

Fort Charles was the Royal Navy fort at Port Royal, base of operations of the forces commanded by Commodore James Norrington, and later, Lord Cutler Beckett of the East India Trading Company. It was located on a cliff overlooking the main harbor.

Fort Charles hosted Norrington's promotion ceremony, and was also used as the venue for public executions of criminals and pirates. Captain Jack Sparrow was set to be hanged at the gallows in the main courtyard, but was ultimately rescued by Will Turner and escaped Port Royal aboard the Black Pearl. It was damaged during the earlier attack on Port Royal by the Pearl, at that time under the command of Captain Hector Barbossa.
