Cursed Seas of Fortune

The Pirates of the Caribbean world is primarily set in the Caribbean Sea and surrounding regions during the "Golden Age of Piracy," roughly between the 1720s and 1750s. It blends real-world history, geography, and mythology with fictional locations and fantastical elements. Primary Setting The core of the films' universe revolves around the Caribbean, an area of thousands of islands and cays contested by major European colonial powers (Great Britain, Spain, France, Holland) and various pirate factions. This setting serves as the backdrop for trade, conflict, and adventure. Key fictional and real locations in the series include: Port Royal: Based on the historical city in Jamaica, it serves as the major British Royal Navy base and the home of Governor Swann and Elizabeth. Most scenes were filmed in Wallilabou Bay, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Tortuga: A real West Indian island that historically was a major center for piracy in the 17th century. In the films, it's portrayed as a neutral hideout and a place to recruit a crew. Isla de Muerta: A fictional, fog-shrouded island and the hiding place of the cursed Aztec gold in the first film. Isla Cruces: The fictional, deserted "plague island" where Davy Jones buries his heart in the second film. Filming occurred on Dominica and in the Bahamas. Shipwreck Cove: A fictional,well-fortified inlet and the meeting place for the Pirate Lords of the Brethren Court. Davy Jones' Locker: A purgatorial dimension or "land of the dead"
