Background: In the 17th century, Tortuga, now part of Haiti, was a major base for pirates who attacked Spanish galleons carrying gold and silver from South America. Later, pirates were romanticized, and Tortuga appeared in books and films as a lawless city. This model attempts to bring this legendary pirate settlement to life in LEGO® brick form.
