Maroon

"When you marooned me on that godforsaken spit of land, you forgot one very important thing, mate. I'm Captain Jack Sparrow."

- Jack Sparrow to Hector Barbossa

Maroon was the intentional leaving of someone in a remote area, such as an uninhabited island. The practice was a penalty for crewmen, or for captains at the hands of a crew. Generally, a marooned man was set on a deserted island, often no more than a sand bar at low tide. He would be given some food, a container of water, and a loaded pistol so he could commit suicide if he desired; though in some cases, only a pistol was given.

History
When the Queen Anne's Revenge grounded in 1718, Blackbeard marooned some of his crewmembers. Jack Sparrow was twice marooned on Rumrunner's Isle by Hector Barbossa. In 1750 Sparrow marooned Angelica on Sola Fide Beach.
