History

The history of Port Nassau, located in the capital of the Bahamas, is deeply rooted in piracy and the trans-Atlantic slave trade. In the late 17th and early 18th centuries, Nassau was a thriving pirate's haven, home to infamous pirates like Blackbeard and Calico Jack, due to its strategic location near multiple trade routes.

In the 19th century, after the abolition of slavery, Nassau grew into a major trans-shipment port for goods, particularly for the export of sponges and pineapples. However, the port's significance declined after the collapse of the sponge industry in the 1930s. Today, Nassau Port is primarily known for its bustling cruise ship industry, welcoming millions of tourists each year.
