Two words describe the island all pirates call home: completely lawless. Tortuga is the place to be if you're looking to misbehave, or if you're looking to put together a particularly motley crew. Anything goes, and often does. When in port, both Jack Sparrow and Joshamee Gibbs have been known to frequent Tortuga's notorious Faithful Bride tavern.
Tortuga ("Turtle" or "Tortoise") is a seaside town and port on Isla Tortuga. The town is a place full of pirates and other criminals. Tortuga is considered the last free port, which means that it is one of the few places in the Caribbean that is not under the control of the East India Trading Company. Although Tortuga has a reputation as a place where pirate ships such as The Black Pearl dock, honest ships such as the Edinburgh Trader often make port there and conduct their business.
The Thieves Den is a location deep in a cave in Tortuga, just past the jungles. But you see more than just a Cave Bat and a Vampire Bat. The Navy and East India Trading Company is there in this quiet cave, to add yet another hideout to the island of Tortuga.
