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").

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.
