(→Anime and Manga: Consolidated the two "Berserk" entries and unpotholed the work name. This is why we don't pothole work names. Also unpotholed the other examples' work names, and replaced "type #" with the type names.) |

Line 11:
Type 1 is the '''Booty Bay''', usually the hangout of your favorite [[Pirates]], whether [[The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything|they're idle]] or not. Expect them to be on an unknown location where authorities try to be on the margin of things and raids every once in a while. Set either somewhere in the [[Welcome to The Caribbean Luv|Caribbean]] or in Southeast Asia, though not exclusively, expect it to be on the 18th or the early 19th century. And yes, it's full of [[Pirate Girl|both kinds]] of [[Pirate Booty]].
Type 2 is the '''Stormalong Harbor''',<ref>Apparently named after [[The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack
This trope still has its echoes in present-day fiction, as dockyards remain a popular setting for police to uncover contraband of all sorts. Its friendlier counterpart is the [[Port Town]].

** Avast! The city of Vritanis, containing at least one [[Pirate]] captain, complete with eyepatch, pegleg and cutlass.
** ''Berserk'' has an arc around a battle next to a port. Being a [[Crapsack World]] like few others, the whole town and implicitly its port fits this.
* ''[[One Piece]]'':
** The Grand Line in all its cliched piratey glory.

* Tortuga, Singapore and Shipwreck Cove from ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]''. Jack tells his crew to be careful about the latter as it's apparently a [[Meaningful Name]].
** In reality, the actual wretched hive of the Caribbean during that time period was Port Royal. It shows up as the city Governor Swann runs, and is portrayed as being orderly and clean. Tortuga had been a notorious [[Wretched Hive]] in the late 17th century, but had cleaned up its act and lost that reputation by the time ''Pirates'' is apparently set.
*** The Tortuga of the film is still somewhat cleaned up and [[Disneyfication|Disney-fied]], compared to how you'd expect it to be in real life; women can walk safely around without any fears of being raped, for example. Considering that a lot of the pirates have no qualms about murder ( [[Pirates Who Don't Do Anything|at least in theory]]), that there are much more men than women everywhere in the film, and how most pirates spend a long time in boats without women, you'd expect that even pretty young men wouldn't be safe, let alone Elizabeth Swann.
* Samoa in ''[[Nate and Hayes]]''.
* ''[[Star Wars]]'': Mos Eisley -- and indeed, most of the rest of Tattooine -- is this trope [[Recycled in Space|IN SPACE]]!
