Nassau

"But you're Captain Jack Sparrow. You vanished under the eyes of seven agents of the East India Company. You sacked Nassau port without firing a shot. Are you the pirate I've read about or not?"

- Elizabeth Swann to Jack Sparrow

Nassau, or Port Nassau, is the capital city of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas, and a large commercial center. It is located on the island of New Providence in the Atlantic Ocean. The Bahamas are not part of the Caribbean Sea, though its islands are part of the Caribbean Community. Originally named Charles Town, Nassau was burned down in 1684, and was renamed Nassau in 1695 once it had been rebuilt. Nassau was named in honor of King William III, who was from the House of Orange-Nassau.

Captain Jack Sparrow, sometime prior to his retaking of the Black Pearl from the mutinous Hector Barbossa, reportedly sacked the port of Nassau without firing a single shot.
