| - The Carib Indians inhabited many of the islands at the time Europeans first arrived. Since the early times of Spanish colonization, beginning in the late 15th century, the north-south portion of the Lesser Antilles has been divided into two groups; the division was adopted by the French, Dutch, and British, who colonized the islands. In November 1717, the pirate Blackbeard captured the French frigate La Concorde in the Antilles. He converted her into his flagship, increasing the number of her guns and giving her the new name, Queen Anne's Revenge. With his new ship, Blackbeard spent the next few months cruising in the Antilles, attacking and sacking some islands and plundering several merchant ships. In February 1720, the pirate Bartholomew Roberts cruised in the Antilles. When he was chased by the pirate hunters from the islands of Barbados and Martinique, he swore that he'll show no mercy to the inhabitants of these two islands. When he returned in September, he captured and plundered dozens of ships, becoming one of the greatest pirates of the Golden Age of Piracy. He sailed in the Antilles until the spring of 1721, when his fleet sailed for Africa. In the late 1720s, the young adventurer Jack Sparrow and his crew sailed through the Antilles in the quest for the legendary Sword of Cortés. The Pirate Lord Esmeralda Maria Consuela Anna de Sevilla was known to have operated in the Antilles during the early 1730s. The EITC merchant ship Wicked Wench sailed three times through the Antilles before she was burned.

- The Lesser Antilles (also known as the Caribbees) are a long, partly volcanic island arc in the Caribbean Sea. Most of its islands form the eastern boundary of the Caribbean Sea with the Atlantic Ocean, with the remainder located in the southern Caribbean just north of South America. The Lesser Antilles and the Greater Antilles compose the Antilles (or the Caribbean in its narrowest definition), which together with the Lucayan Archipelago comprise the West Indies. The islands of the Lesser Antilles are divided into three groups. The two main groups are the Windward Islands in the south and the Leeward Islands in the north. The Windward Islands are so called because they were more windward to sailing ships arriving in the New World than the Leeward Islands, given that the prevailing trade winds blow east to west. The trans-Atlantic currents and winds that provided the fastest route across the ocean brought these ships to the rough dividing line between the Windward and Leeward Islands. The third group is the Leeward Antilles in the west. These consist of the Dutch islands of Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao (known as the ABC islands) just off the coast of Venezuela, plus a group of Venezuelan islands. This article is a .
