Port Royal

"Welcome to Port Royal, Mr. Smith."

- Harbormaster to Jack Sparrow

Port Royal was a major city and habor in the Caribbean, situated on the western end of Palisadoes in Jamaica. The Royal Navy maintained a fort at Port Royal.

Port Royal was governed by Weatherby Swann, and despite its sizable naval presence, it became a popular place for pirates to bring and spend their treasure. Executions of known pirates were held at the fort, and three skeletons hung outside the bay, as a warning to incoming pirates of their fates.

Port Royal suffered an attack by the Black Pearl following the promotion of James Norrington to the rank of Commodore, hosted at the fort. During the attack, the Governor's daughter, Elizabeth Swann, was kidnapped and taken to Isla de Muerta. Later, the fort was set to host the execution of Captain Jack Sparrow, though, with the help of Will Turner and the crew of the Black Pearl, he managed to escape the hangman's noose.

Some time later, Lord Cutler Beckett of the East India Trading Company set himself up in Port Royal.
