"Mush-headed foreigners? I suppose their people came from this continent originally?"
―Tumen[src]

North America, otherwise known as America Septen Trionalis or simply America, was a continent. It was the third-largest continent by size after Asia and Africa. North America is bordered to the east by the Atlantic Ocean, to the southeast by South America and the Caribbean Sea, and to the west and south by the Pacific Ocean. Greater North America includes the Bahamas, Bermuda, Canada, the Caribbean, Mexico, the Turks and Caicos Islands. In 1492, the exploratory voyages of Christopher Columbus led to a transatlantic exchange as the continent was colonized by several countries of Europe, including England, Spain, and France. This included migrations of European settlers and interactions between European colonists, indigenous peoples, African slaves, immigrants from Europe, Asia, and descendants of these respective groups.

History[]

The Caribbean and the Caribbean Sea lied between North and South America, and was named for the native Carib people who lived on its shores.[3] By the Golden Age of Piracy, there were 700 recorded pirates in the Caribbean between 1715 and 1725. They were mostly English, some from the Americas and the West Indies, and a few from Scotland, Wales, Holland and Sweden. The 22,000-mile "Pirate Round" stretched from North America to New Providence, across the seas to Madagascar, through the Indian Ocean and back to North America.[4]

During the war against piracy led by Lord Cutler Beckett of the East India Trading Company, North America (named "America Septen Trionalis") was drawn onto a map of the world created in the EITC headquarters in Port Royal,[5][6][7][8] along with a smaller map in the captain's cabin of the Endeavour.[9]

Behind the scenes[]

America was first referenced through New Orleans Square, a based on New Orleans, Louisiana.[1][2] North America was depicted as "America Septen Trionalis" on a map of the world in the 2006 film Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.[5] The map would also be included in the reference books Pirates of the Caribbean: The Visual Guide,[6] The Complete Visual Guide,[7] and The Secret Files of the East India Trading Company.[8] Although unnamed, North America would first appear in the book Jack Sparrow: The Age of Bronze.[10] It was identified as "Ame" with South America as "Rica" on another map featured in the official website for the 2007 film Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.[9] North America would be identified by name in the "Scoundrels of the Seas" bonus feature.[4]

On June 2013, producer Jerry Bruckheimer responded to reports that at least part the fifth film, later titled Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, would be set in America, specifically New Orleans, Louisiana. Bruckheimer said, "We're certainly going to be filming in Louisiana because of the tax breaks and I think there might be a sequence there."[11] On January 2014, directors Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg stated that the film would be shot in Puerto Rico and New Orleans by the end of the year.[12] However, pre-production began in Australia by late 2014, and it was confirmed that filming was to take place in 2015 exclusively in Queensland, Australia, as the largest production to ever shoot in the country.[13][14][15]
