Port Royal
In real-world history, Port Royal was a city located at the end of the Palisadoes at the mouth of the Kingston Harbour, in southeastern Jamaica. Founded in 1518, it was the centre of shipping commerce in the Caribbean Sea during the latter half of the 17th century. It was destroyed by an earthquake in 1692 and subsequent fires, hurricanes, flooding, epidemics and another earthquake in 1907.
Port Royal appears in all movies except in On Stranger Tides. Port Royal is the home of Elizabeth, where her father is governor. It contains a port, a town and a fort, named Fort Charles, which was used to have pirates hanged. Will Turner worked there as the blacksmith's apprentice. The cursed crew of the Black Pearl attacked the town in search of the final piece of Aztec Gold. Later on Lord Cutler Beckett moved there and used it as his base of operations before heading out to command his armada from his flagship, The Endeavour.
