New Orleans

"Which is your favorite legend, mon ami?" "Oh, I don't know. There's the one about the island that sank beneath the waves because the streets were paved with gold. Or, wait? Am I mixing them up?

- Christophe-Julien de Rapièr and Jack Sparrow

New Orleans was a port at the mouth of the Mississippi River in the southern part of North America. The city was founded by French in 1718 and officially was under French administration but was also a home to many pirates and a large number of mystics.

Jack Sparrow and the crew of the Barnacle visited New Orleans while searching for the Sun-and-stars amulet. While there, they battled Madame Minuit and rescued Tim Hawk. Two of Jack's crew, Jean Magliore and Constance Magliore hailed from New Orleans.

The city was also a home port to the New Orleans pirates, led by Gentleman Jocard.
