Port Royal was built in 1657 and soon became a hideout for pirates and privateers. Jamaica was taken over by the English forces in 1655 and became an important stronghold of British power in the Caribbean. These caverns were used as a hideout for smugglers and pirates.

Just outside of Port Royal were a series of caverns. Street markets were prevailing also, though as the town had expanded in the decade of Swann's governorship, the local sewer system was unable to cope, and gave the air a distinct odor. The town was situated inland from the harbor, leading up to the Governor's mansion, and included everything from taverns and inns to blacksmiths and apothecaries. The latter maintained an office overlooking the dock, which was refitted prior to his arrival in Port Royal. The HMS Dauntless was a common sight at the harbor during James Norrington's tenure in the Navy, while the HMS Endeavour was later moored there during Cutler Beckett's residency. Port Royal was accessible via a large harbor, used by both merchant and Navy ships. Executions of known pirates were held at the fort, and three skeletons hung outside the bay, as a warning to incoming pirates of their fates. The port was governed by Weatherby Swann, and despite its sizable naval presence, it became a popular place for pirates to bring and spend their treasure. Port Royal was built around Fort Charles, which was England's largest government fort in the Caribbean, and was armed with cannons intended to protect Navy ships in the harbor below.
It doesn't have many enemies and is normally a peaceful town. It was founded by the English, and the Royal Navy maintained a presence at the governmental Fort Charles. Port Royal was a major city and harbor in the Caribbean, (and not to be confused with Port Royal in New France) situated on the western end of Palisadoes in Jamaica. Port Royal is the home of Elizabeth Swann and Will Turner. Unfortunately for its civilized residents, its location also makes it a perfect spot for pirate raids, despite the nearby Navy presence at Fort Charles. Wealthy and civilized, Port Royal's air comes from its place as the official center of Caribbean trade.
