- "Shipwreck Cove is a fortress. A well-supplied fortress. There is no need to fight if they cannot get to us."

Shipwreck Cove was an inlet found within Shipwreck Island, itself located in the Caribbean. It was the location of Shipwreck City, one of the few safe places for pirates in the Caribbean.
History[]
- "Teague's apparently called for an official court of inquiry. Evidence will be presented to the Pirate Lords here at Shipwreck Cove."
- ―Jack Sparrow
Shipwreck Cove was located in the crater of a dead volcano, and its mass was comprised of hundreds of wrecked ships. Any ship wishing to reach the Cove was first forced to pass into the island through the Devil's Throat, a narrow passage that claimed several vessels each year.[3]
In the late 1720s, upon Hector Barbossa's summons, the Pirate Lords of the Fourth Brethren Court and assembled at Shipwreck City within the Pirate Hall. During Jack Sparrow and Hector Barbossa's voyage to Shipwreck Cove, Lord Cutler Beckett tried to find out the location of the Brethren Court meeting, though later had the help of Will Turner holding Sparrow's compass. By the end of the conclave, the newly-elected Pirate King of the Brethren Court Elizabeth Swann declared the Brethren to prepare their fleet of pirate vessels for war against Lord Cutler Beckett of the East India Trading Company.[1][2]
Behind the scenes[]
- For Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, scenes at Shipwreck Cove, including the Pirate Council Chamber, were filmed at Walt Disney Studios as one of the last sets built on Disney's Stage 2 for the Pirates trilogy. Production designer Rick Heinrichs notes, "Shipwreck Cove was conceived by Gore as kind of a retirement home for old pirates, comprised of the wrecked hulls of various ships hidden in a volcano. The Brethren Court meet in one of those hulls, and outside of the structure we've extended the set with a 300-foot-long painted backing which has been beautifully designed and painted in the good, old-fashioned Hollywood tradition."[4]
