Navassa was a British fort located on a small island off the coast of Jamaica, in the Caribbean. It was eventually besieged and overrun by the crew of the Jackdaw, a pirate vessel captained by Edward Kenway.
The island was located in a stretch of sea between the islands of Jamaica and the Haiti; as such vessels were forced to either sail within range of the forts cannons, or be made to sail around the long way around either island.
After Kenway captured the fort , a harbormaster's station was built by the docks, where Kenway also accepted naval contracts on behalf of the trader Milo van der Graaff.
