Port Royal, Kingston, Jamaica
Port Royal in Jamaica was once known as Sin City the wickedest city on earth, but it is hard to imagine that now. It is located at the end of the Palisadoes to the mouth of the Kingston Harbour, Jamaica (Caribbean).
The village has an intriguing history that includes Christopher Columbus, Henry Morgan, other pirates and buccaneers.
Sir Henry Morgan (also Captain Morgan) was a Welsh privateer, landowner and, later, Lieutenant Governor of Jamaica.
The Spanish did not recognise privateering as a legal activity, so they had considered Morgan to be a pirate, something he firmly rejected.

Port Royal in Jamaica was once known as Sin City the wickedest city on earth, but it is hard to imagine that now.
The road was named after Sir Henry Morgan (also Captain Morgan) who was a Welsh privateer, landowner and, later, Lieutenant Governor of Jamaica.
Morgan always fought with a commission from the governor of Jamaica. In doing so, he was acting as a reserve naval force for the English government in the defence of Jamaica.
The Spanish did not recognise privateering as a legal activity, so they had considered Morgan to be a pirate, something he firmly rejected.

Kingston, the capital of Jamaica, is located on the southeastern coast of the island. There are two major sections to this city: 'downtown' and 'uptown,' also referred to as 'New Kingston.' Kingston was for some time Jamaica's only city and is still the commercial and cultural capital. You will notice that the city is assigned the equivalent of zip codes, (Kingston 5, Kingston 10, etc.) which is a good representation of how truly large this city is, especially for an island such as Jamaica.

Port Royal. Once known as the Richest and wickedest city in the world, Port Royal is a notorious 17th century pirate haven. The most famous pirate who operated from Port Royal was Sir Henry Morgan who plundered Spanish vessels travelling in the Caribbean. The city prospered as the pirates gathered riches, but a strong earthquake struck the area on June 7, 1692 sinking the ships in the harbor and killing many people as the earthquake moved much of the city into the sea. It has been said that the earthquake was caused by God himself to punish the evildoers of Port Royal. This disaster helped to establish Kingston as the new capital, and many of the survivors of the earthquake moved to Kingston. Although most of the buildings at the port today are not the original building. The Largest Botanical Garden in the Caribbean. The garden gets its name from the man Richard Hope who helped capture Jamaica for Great Britain and was given the property to reward him for his faithfulness to the Crown. Free. edit
