Since the mid 16th Century this Bahaman island has been a pirate anchorage. An English colony, officially begun in the 1680s, soon degenerates into a loud, squalid pirate haven full of verminous and evil men. The port is named "New Providence", to distinguish it from Providence Island ("Old Providence").

Locations

Nassau

Established from the beginning as a pirate anchorage, the shallow harbor and surrounding reefs keep the Royal Navy at bay, allowing all brethren of the coast a semi-permanent base on the white sand beaches of this island, rich with bubbling freshwater springs and fresh food, a pirate paradise if ever God gave them one.

Features

Paradise Island

Near to Nassau is a small isle that is rife with superstitious fear. There are ruins upon it, thought to be a remnant of the lost civilization of Atlantis. Many speak of unworldly powers and strange creatures to be found there, though few are brave enough to dare the legends and see for sure.

Hog's Head Island

The main harbor of Nassau has its entrance split by a small island of coral reefs that look like they shipwrecked together, and it is named ‘Hog’s Head’. In some times a fort is both repaired and supplied here, to guard the harbor, but in most years it quickly returns to the abandoned, weather-beaten ruin it is destined to be.

A shallow harbour

Given the shallow depth of the main harbor, no ship larger than [Value 4] can enter it, and in the surrounding coves for miles around, no ship larger than [Value 2].
