"We go west."
"Why the devil would we head west?"
"You have cargo bound for Antigua, do you not?"
"Bugger that!"

―Amenirdis and Jack Sparrow^[src]

Antigua was an island in the West Indies, Leeward Islands in the Caribbean region.

History Edit

"How many more days to reach Antigua?"
"A few days, perhaps a week, at most. Depending on the wind, as you've doubtless learned by now."

―Amenirdis and Jack Sparrow^[src]

Antigua was discovered and named by Christopher Columbus in 1493. In 1632, a group of English colonists left St. Kitts to settle in Antigua. Under Edward Warner, their leader, they grew cash crops of tobacco, ginger, indigo and sugar. Soon after, slaves from Africa were brought on island to work on sugar plantations.

In the 1720s, during Jack Sparrow's search for the Sword of Cortés, the crew of the Barnacle sailed for Antigua to buy some supplies. Years later, when Jack was a merchant captain in the East India Trading Company, his ship, the Wicked Wench, made port in Antigua.

Behind the scenesEdit

Antigua appears in the video game Pirates of the Caribbean: Armada of the Damned. But, since that game was canceled, it is unknown if the island's appearance in the game is canon or not.
