A Brief History of Pirates in the Bahamas – Recalling the era of piracy

The Bahamas was one of the main victims of piracy during the era from 1690 to 1725. The main reason was its perfect location right next to busy shipping lanes.

Fort Montagu

If you are planning to book group plane tickets with your friends/family and fly to the Bahamas via interCaribbean Airways, you’ll surely not miss out on Fort Montagu. This fort was the main defence tool to protect the island from pirates.

Fort Charlott

From Fort Charlotte, you can have the best views of Nassau. It’s surprisingly true that you can spot all the cruise ships that come to and depart from the harbour from here.

Morgan’s Bluff

Morgan’s Bluff is considered the highest point of the Andros Island in the Bahamas. It has been named after Sir Henry Morgan, a successful Welsh privateer who led mean attacks against the Spanish.
