Tortuga & Nassau in 1715 – Pirate Havens of the Golden Age
In 1715, the Caribbean was a pirate’s paradise, and two ports stood at the heart of this lawless world—Tortuga and Nassau. These infamous strongholds weren’t just places to rest between raids; they were vibrant, chaotic communities where freedom reigned, goods flowed through illicit trade, and pirate captains ruled like kings. But what was life truly like in these notorious ports?
In this episode, we step into the humid, rum-soaked streets of Tortuga, where the jungle meets the sea and the Brethren of the Coast enforce their own brutal code. Then, we sail to Nassau, the stronghold of the Pirate Republic, where figures like Benjamin Hornigold and Henry Jennings shaped a rebellious, self-governed outpost—one that would soon face the full wrath of the British Crown.
From the roaring taverns and bustling docks to the dangers of looming naval crackdowns, this immersive historical narrative takes you deep into the last great age of piracy. Hoist the black flag and join us as we explore Tortuga and Nassau in their prime!
