With the popularity of movies like the Pirates of the Caribbean series, there is growing interest in pirate-themed corporate events and destinations all over the world.

Pembrokeshire County, Wales

Wales the birthplace of the well-known privateer Captain Henry Morgan (who eventually became the Governor of Jamaica). In Little Newcastle on the village green, a monument honors Black Bart (inspiration for fictional character Captain Jack Sparrow) who was born there. The pirate Howell Davis was from Milford Haven and  Caldey Island was once a haven for American pirate John Paul Jones.

Every year, the Conwy Pirates Festival in May recalls the area’s pirate tradition.

Anomabo, Ghana

Anomabo (historically Annamaboa, sometimes spelled Anomabu) was the capital of Gold Coast, Ghana’s name under British rule.

He went on to capture about 470 ships and establish The Pirate Code.

The remains of Fort William (originally called Annamaboe Fort), the center of the Transatlantic slave trade in Gold Coast built in 1753 can still be seen. It replaced Fort Charles that was standing when Black Bart was in the area.
