Port Royal was washed into the Caribbean Sea, the result of an earthquake and tsunami. The carnage included a whole city, with around three thousand casualties, including Henry Morgan's mausoleum, that was not to be seen again for over 300 years.
PORT ROYAL - THE EARTH SHAKES
Admiral Sir Henry Morgan retired to Jamaica, where he was a slaver, with his own plantation and many African workers. In those times, for some reason, Europeans seemed to think that enslaving another human was acceptable. They would feed them poorly and work them hard. In modern times, banks and governments working together, do something similar. Banks sell money they don't actually have. And governments tax just about everything. The net result is that a large number of citizens become financial slaves.
The Palisadoes Cemetery was located on a thin strip of sand that served as a natural protection for the harbour of Kingston Jamaica. On Tuesday the 7th of June 1692 a great earthquake caused the strip of land and the cemetery to sink beneath the sea, from a tsunami suction backwash.
Damn you for Villains, who are you? And, from whence came you? The Lieutenant made him Answer, You may see by our Colours we are no Pyrates. Black-beard bid him send his Boat on Board, that he might see who he was; but Mr. Maynard reply'd thus; I cannot spare my Boat, but I will come aboard of you as soon as I can, with my Sloop. Upon this, Black-beard took a Glass of Liquor and drank to him with these Words: Damnation seize my Soul if I give you Quarters, or take any from you. In Answer to which, Mr. Maynard told him, that he expected no Quarters from him, nor should he give him any.
