 Port Royal, Jamaica In the Pirates of the Caribbean, Port Royal is where Captain Jack Sparrow is jailed before being freed by Will Turner. In reality, 16th-century buccaneers (pirates originally from Hispaniola) were encouraged by the British government to settle in this major shipping center and attack passing French and Spanish vessels. It endured as a hedonistic pirate enclave—the “Wickedest City on Earth”—until June 1692, when a massive earthquake sent a huge chunk of the town to the ocean floor, killing thousands. “Some considered the quake divine retribution for its sins,” says Marc Nucup of The Mariners’ Museum in Virginia. 世界十大海盗岛屿之二 —— Port Royal Port Royal（皇家港口）群岛位于牙买加，是16世纪一个非常重要的航海港口。当时的英国政府鼓励海盗定居在此并袭击过往的法国和西班牙商船。在1692年6月份那次非常严重的地震使海水淹没了岛屿上的城镇之前，这里都被称为“海盗乐园”。位于弗吉尼亚的航海博物馆中对此次地震有着比较详细的记录，当时的人们认为这是“上帝的惩罚”。 在电影《加勒比海盗III》中，Jack船长成功离开了毛利人的岛屿后遵循着terage的指示来到了这里，并在这里找到了名叫dalama的吉卜赛女人。 |
 Nassau, New Providence, Bahamas It was only a small ramshackle village of tents and lean-tos made out of old sail cloth. But any Golden Age pirate worth his salt operated here for at least some part of the Golden Age—, like Calico Jack” Rackham, Anne Bonny and Blackbeard. This was the only fortified pirate republic in all of the Caribbean until the British sent Woodes Rogers, a former privateer himself, to drive the pirates from the Bahamas. By 1725, most were gone, and the islands’ motto became “Expulsis Piratis—Resituta Commercia” (Pirates Expelled—Commerce Restored). 世界十大海盗岛屿之三 —— Nassau Nassau（拿骚）位于巴哈马群岛中北部的新普罗维登斯岛（New Provindence）北岸，距美国的迈阿密城只有290公里。这里曾经是一个非常破烂不堪的小镇，甚至连真正的房子都没有。但是Nassau却见证了历史上海盗的黄金时期，作为当时加勒比海域最强大的海盗集团，这里出现了历史上很多非常有名的海盗首领，比如Calico Jack、Rackham、Anne Bonny和黑胡子。一直到1725年英国政府特派伍德.罗杰斯来此“剿匪”，这里的海盗团伙才慢慢消失。所以拿骚岛的格言为“消灭海盗——振兴经济”。 |
 Cayman Islands The Cayman Islands’ position smack dab in the middle of the shipping channel between Mexico and Cuba made it a perfect stopover for pirates. Around 1722, one of pirate Thomas Anstis’s ships ran aground on Grand Cayman and he lost dozens of his crew to attacking British men-of-war who had sighted them. The islands still capitalize on their pirate history with an annual Pirates Week Festival in November. 世界十大海盗岛屿之四 —— Cayman Islands Cayman Islands（英属）开曼群岛由佛罗里达迈阿密以南480英里的3个加勒比海岛屿组成，包括大开曼岛、小开曼岛和开曼布拉克岛。在1503年被哥伦布发现，由于正好位于墨西哥和古巴航线的中间，可以作为海盗中途停留休息的地方，所以经常被海盗用作基地，特别是臭名昭著的黑胡子——爱德华.蒂奇。1722年左右，托马斯.安斯蒂斯海盗船航行到大开曼岛附近的时候，被英国军队发现并遭受到了沉重的打击，死伤了很多船员。 现在开曼群岛利用其悠久的海盗历史文化吸引各国游客，比较著名的就是一年一度的海盗节，每年九月份举办，为期一周。 |
 St. Croix During the Golden Age of Piracy, St. Croix was an unclaimed, largely abandoned island with a protected harbor and a good position on the Triangular Trade—perfect for a passing pirate hideout. In January 1717, a British man-of-war shelled pirate John Martel and his crew here; the survivors were left stranded and starving until two other pirate sloops arrived and absconded with them to Virgin Gorda. 世界十大海盗岛屿之五—— St. Croix St. Croix（圣克洛伊岛）在海盗的黄金时期还只是一个荒无人烟的小岛，由于处于三角贸易区的中心位置，又有一个不为众人所知的隐蔽的港口，所以为过往的海盗提供了非常完美的隐蔽场所。1717年1月，英国的士兵在此击败了海盗约翰，战争的幸存者在这里几乎被饿死，恰巧另外两个海盗单桅船救了他们并一起逃往了Virgin Gorda（维京果岛）。 |
 Virgin Gorda With its jagged coastline of private coves and safe anchorages, this British Virgin Island was the hideout for all manner of bold-faced names, including Blackbeard and William “Captain” Kidd. For a couple of weeks in 1717, “Black Sam” Bellamy and his gang set up a temporary pirate camp in Spanish Town right under the nose of a British deputy governor. 世界十大海盗岛屿之六 ——Virgin Gorda Virgin Gorda（英属维京果岛）是1493年由哥伦布在寻找新大陆的第二次旅途中发现的群岛，岛的得名是因为哥伦布认为从海上看过来它就像一个躺着的有着突出的腹部的女人。该岛因为锯齿状的海岸线为海盗提供了非常安全的停泊地点，包括历史上非常有名的海盗“黑胡子”和基德船长。 |
 La Blanquilla, Venezuela Not much shipping passed within sight of La Blanquilla, just off the coast of Venezuela, making it a “good hideout for those trying to dodge authorities out of Barbados and French Martinique,” says author Colin Woodard, the author of a new book abour piracy's golden age, The Republic of Pirates. Just a few months after “Black Sam” Bellamy set up camp here in the 18th century, his flagship, the Whydah, sank off the coast off Cape Cod, where it was finally discovered in 1984; for the first time, some of those treasures will embark on a national tour in June, 2007. 世界十大海盗岛屿之七 ——La Blanquilla La Blanquilla岛位于委内瑞拉，在岛上能够看见的距离内没有多少船只经过，《海盗共和国》的作者科林.伍德认为它是那些为了躲避巴巴多斯岛和法属马提尼克岛法律制裁的人们的非常好的藏身之处。海盗“布莱克.萨姆”于18世纪在岛上创建了他的海盗基地，并藏匿了很多珍宝。这些宝藏于1984年被发现，委内瑞拉政府将于2007年6月份开始用这些宝藏建设国家旅游设施。 |
 ROATAN, HONDURAS Surrounded by narrow reefs and shallow channels inaccessible to merchant ships, Roatan became the base of hundreds of pirates in the 17th century, including buccaneer legends Laurens de Graff and Henry Morgan. From here, they staged attacks on Spanish galleons carrying Asian porcelain and Peruvian silver. Rumor has it that treasure hunters unearthed part of Henry Morgan’s cache here in the 1960s—and that there’s more to be found. 世界十大海盗岛屿之八 ——ROATAN 洪都拉斯群岛的ROATAN岛拥有全世界第二大的珊瑚礁群，使得该岛在17世纪就成为了上百个海盗团伙的基地，包括历史上非常有名的“摩根船长”和“Laurens de Graff”。在这里，海盗们袭击来往的西班牙商船，获得了很多来自亚洲的瓷器和来自秘鲁的银器。有传言说20世纪60年代有很多探宝者找到了“摩根船长”的一些宝藏，而且据说这里肯定还有更多未被发现的财宝。 |
 St. Kitts At the end of the 17th century, the French attacked this island with the help of a privateer by the name of William “Captain” Kidd. British by birth but French by employment, Kidd quickly turn-coated, stealing off with one of the French ships, according to Angus Konstam author of “The History of Pirates.” Kidd became an instant hero when he sailed to the British port of Nevis. Later accused of illegal pirating, he was executed and hung over the Thames River as a warning to would-be pirates. 世界十大海盗岛屿之九 ——St. Kitts 根据安格斯所著的《海盗的历史》，17世纪末，法国政府在一些海盗团伙的帮助下，以“基德船长”的名义袭击了St. Kitts（圣基茨）岛。基德船长生于英国受雇于法国，当他偷了法国军队的一艘船并将船开到了尼维斯岛的时候，很快就成了英国的英雄。但是最后还是因为曾作为海盗而被指控，并在泰晤士河边被实施了绞刑。 |
 Guadeloupe According to Colin Woodard, Edward “Blackbeard” Thatch, who terrified victims by lighting candles in his beard and arming himself to the teeth, shelled this island on November 28, 1717. Leaving Guadeloupe town in flames (half the town was lost in the fire), he stole off with a French sugar ship. 世界十大海盗岛屿之十 ——Guadeloupe Guadeloupe（法属瓜德罗普岛）位于小安的列斯群岛中部，根据《海盗共和国》的作者科林·伍德的描述，著名的 “黑胡子”海盗（在他胡子上插着两根点燃的导火线并在其牙齿上钉了徽章）在1717年11月28日逃离该岛，逃走的同时还偷走了一艘法国的运糖船。 |
