"Jack Sparrow. He's dead. Buried in an unmarked grave on the Isle of Saint Martin."

―Old Pirate to Henry Turner

The Isle of Saint Martin, or simply Saint Martin, also stylized as St. Martin, was an island in the Caribbean. A fanciful, teeming colonial village, circa 1750, Saint Martin was affiliated with the British Empire, which maintained a base under the command of Lieutenant John Scarfield. Captain Jack Sparrow's boat, the Dying Gull, was also beached on Saint Martin. A young sailor named Henry Turner made his way to the isle of Saint Martin to find Jack Sparrow, following Captain Salazar's attack on the Monarch.

History

Saint Martin was an island in the Lesser Antilles ruled by the British Empire. The town of Saint Martin served as the main settlement on the island, housing the British military outpost and the seat of the civilian authorities.

By 1751, Saint Martin was a prosperous port, but most of its inhabitants were sailors, drunkards and only a handful of elite. It was also constantly threatened by pirates. Most notably, Jack Sparrow was arrested in this city after he and his crew tried but failed to rob a bank.

Behind the scenes

• While "Saint Martin" is indeed the name of the location, the island was also referred to as the "Isle of Saint Martin" by an Old Pirate.
• For Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, scenes in Saint Martin were primarily filmed at the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia.
• In Jeff Nathanson's 2013 early draft of the Dead Men Tell No Tales script, Saint Martin appears only in the first part of the story. After the bank robbery in Saint Martin, the main story moves to Jamaica, mainly Port Royal.
• In real-world history, Saint Martin was never controlled by the British. It was a colony of France and Holland since the mid-17th century, while the film is set in the mid-18th century, specifically in 1751.
