sirhenrymorgan Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Yes, it is a grand view - one can see the entire coast and any approaching vessels there. One of the best stops on the island for the casual visitor and always welcome, of course... -- Sir Henry Morgan "Land only holds promise if men at sea have the courage to fight for it." - Sir Henry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Sterling Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 I loved this viewCaptian Morgan's Lookout Wow nice shot! Well Sir Henry, must be nice to be King... I mean govenor....

sirhenrymorgan Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 I have indeed stood on this location and peered out on this fabulous view. I have also had a drink or two in the fine quarters there, which overlooks the shoreline and the property. That is reality indeed. I can share etchings of the experience if one wants to doubt the claim. Here is the quarters, which now serve as a pub. -- Sir Henry Morgan "Land only holds promise if men at sea have the courage to fight for it." - Sir Henry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silkie McDonough Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I was not implying that the person who has chosen the name of Sir Henry Morgan on this site has not been to the point in question. I in fact applaud him in that he has been to visit and has a good knowledge of the place. I was simply stating that the person who said "and always welcome, of course..." is not THE Sir Henry Morgan of history and does not now and never has owned the lands that he invites us to. That the Piracy Pub's Sir Henry Morgan lives in 2006 when we have electricity, computers and photographs. It seems that he has trouble making that distinction in his posts.

sirhenrymorgan Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Uh, what I meant was is that the public is welcome there. It is the estate of playwright Noel Coward. He is buried there. His home is open to the public for tours. For those that want to put it on their itinerary it's known as Firefly. It's about $6 U.S. Duh! -- Sir Henry Morgan "Land only holds promise if men at sea have the courage to fight for it." - Sir Henry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elizabeth Sparrow Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Begad, that be a beauty of a view. :) It must be amazing to know that a real pirate once stood where you were standing at the time. I hope I get to visit the lookout one day. --Elizabeth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
