What I know comes from watching the TV series. I can tell you that Nassau was a pirate haven and its islands were a wonderful hideout with shallow waters and were very close to the shipping route of the Spanish and Portuguese galleons (ships), full of gold.

I will check it out. My parents honeymooned here in the late 1950s, but I know nothing about the Bahamas.

Beware of pirates! :) Nassau was once known as the Republic of Pirates, and the infamous Blackbeard himself served as its judge. This place is steeped in history. If you haven't watched [Black Sails](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2375692/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_q_black%2520sails), you're missing out!
