History of Piracy in the Bahamas
The Bahamas has a rich and fascinating history of piracy, dating back centuries to when the islands served as a haven for some of the most notorious buccaneers of the high seas.
Many famous pirates, like the legendary Blackbeard, used the Bahamas as a base to launch their plundering raids across the Caribbean. The islands’ remote location and treacherous reefs made them the perfect refuge for these seafaring outlaws.
During the golden age of piracy in the 17th and 18th centuries, the Bahamas was known as the ‘Pirates’ Republic,’ a lawless territory where pirates could freely trade their stolen goods.
Today, visitors can explore the history of this swashbuckling era by visiting key sites around Nassau and the surrounding islands.
