List of Locations in Pirates of The Caribbean - Singapore

Singapore

The fictionalised Singapore is filled with bridge-covered waterways and crude wooden buildings. It appears in At World's End when Hector Barbossa and Elizabeth Swann visit Sao Feng to steal navigational charts and to request a crew and a ship to rescue Jack Sparrow from Davy Jones’ Locker. The city is last shown as Barbossa, Will, Elizabeth, and the crew set sail in Feng's ship, the Hai Peng.

In The Curse of the Black Pearl, Jack Sparrow mentions Singapore to the two clueless guards as he cuts Elizabeth's corset after she fell off a cliff and into the sea: "Clearly, you've never been to Singapore." It is also mentioned in Dead Man's Chest, while Will is asking for the whereabouts of Jack. One man says, "Sure as the tide, Jack Sparrow...turn up in Singapore."

The Singapore of the movies differs markedly from historical Singapore. The modern port of Singapore was founded by Stamford Raffles in 1819. In the period depicted in the movie, there was only a Malay fishing village called Temasek on the island, not the old Chinese city depicted in the film. (See Early history of Singapore.)
