Thank you, mate!



Well, the actual modern town of Port Royal has a dimension of 1.25 kilometers from northeast to southwest an nearly 900 meters from west to east. Rackhams Cay is also nearly 900 meters south from the most southern point of the Port Royal Peninsula (data from Google Earth).

Yes, Henry’s map doesn’t match the real bay. The real Port Royal Peninsula is a small and low strip of land, which has no similarity to the map’s shape of the bay and no similarity to filming locations neither in Australia nor at the Wallilabou Bay on Saint Vincent.

But if you take a look at Wallilabou Bay and turn it around until the (real) western coast points south, you may see that Henry’s map has a certain similarity with this bay including the fact that Port Royal is not placed on a Peninsula, but is lying on the „northeastern“ shore of the bay. The lighthouse, placed at the western shore of the bay on Henry’s map, would be „south“ of the cape, on which Fort Charles should have been in the first film (it wasn’t there, since the Fort in the movie was CGI).

Do we take the dimensions of this bay, the Governor’s house would be near the western harbour hill (judging by the angle from the view of Elizabeth’s bedroom in COTBP) and would be placed around 700 meters „north“ of the „lighthouse cape“. This is not too far for a footwalk to the lighthouse. So it might be possible Elizabeth is living in her old home at Port Royal.

@ Rowing direction: We don’t see Henry enter his boat. He painted several landmarks in his map, which can lead him to the point, where the Dutchman is hidden below the surface. He might have left the bay before he is shown in the movie. In that case the direction away from the lighthouse would be according to the map.

@ Jack setting off Henry and Carina „far“ from Henry’s home: Can Jack take the risk of sailing directly into the lion’s den? I think no. Therefore it might possible he set them off at the southern coast, offsight from the harbour.
