Port Royal Journey


hurricane

Recommended Posts

Ahoy all! Looks like the Pyrates of the Coast will be heading down to Port Royal, Jamaica again for another journey into history.

We will be visiting the usual haunts, Fort Charles, the Gaol, the town itself, Morgan's Line and hopefully Spanish Town, along with doing a ghost tour in costume. It's a grand time and walking the streets of the town that is still left is a thrill in itself. Six inches below the current streets are those that were walked on by Anne and Mary, Calico Jack, Henry Morgan, Blackbeard and all the other legends. Puts a real chill in your piratical soul.

I think we have 10 of us planning to go right now. Anyone is welcome to join us. We will be staying at Morgan's Harbor, which is in walking distance of town (about two blocks actually). Their website is: http://www.morgansharbor.com -- in the Gallery section is a familiar looking pirate sitting on his arse in the casino. :)

The tentative dates are either:

July 16 - July 20

July 23 - July 27

Didn't want to return with a bunch more photos and have ya'll yell at me.

Wish our cruise liner had berthed at Morgans Harbor, rather than Ocho Rios, which under-impressed me — a lot!

If we'd had more time, we'd have hired a taxy to take us down to PR, which I really wanted to see, but the ship didn't arrive until noon, and we had to be back on board by five. <_<

Post lots of pictures. I want to see what I missed.

...schooners, islands, and maroons

and buccaneers and buried gold...

You can do everything right, strictly according to procedure, on the ocean, and it'll still kill you. But if you're a good navigator, a least you'll know where you were when you died.......From The Ship Killer by Justin Scott.
