Winston Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 I just came from the island of jamaica. There they have Captian Henry Morgan's Lookout. I tell ye, he had a good eye for a look out. Could see the whole coast from his site! Got some good images...I'll work on postin em.
sirhenrymorgan Posted June 19, 2006 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
Capt. Sterling Posted June 19, 2006 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.... "I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell... I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers Crewe of the Archangel http://jcsterlingcptarchang.wix.com/creweofthearchangel# http://creweofthearchangel.wordpress.com/
Silkie McDonough Posted June 19, 2006 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 Reality check. Ummmm..... Hurricain, it is a role that you are playing. Don't get confused.
sirhenrymorgan Posted June 19, 2006 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
Diosa De Cancion Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 I too have had the pleasure of standing there... it's a magnificent view!! So much so... i couldn't even look at the camera :) Diosa De Cancion aka Mary Read www.iammaryread.com
Silkie McDonough Posted June 20, 2006 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 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
Winston Posted June 20, 2006 Author Posted June 20, 2006 it really is a nice destination spot and the pictures as lovely as they are...do not do it justice
Silkie McDonough Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 Sorry about that Morgan. Guess I still have an authenticity burr stuck in my boot. Point taken.
Diosa De Cancion Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 Wow, and I was just thinking how well Morgan had held up for 320+ years :) Yes Winston, you are right... the pictures do not even begin to do the breathtaking view justice!!! Diosa De Cancion aka Mary Read www.iammaryread.com
blackjohn Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 I too have had the pleasure of standing there... it's a magnificent view!! So much so... i couldn't even look at the camera :) WHOA! FREAKIN' AMAZIN'!!! Thanks for sharing that pic!!! My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.
Kidd Dread Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 sir henry morgan, thanks for the invite! fore it does not matter what is someone's else's reality, but what is yours! 325 yrs... ha! its just a coin in the bucket! if we wanted reality... we wouldnt be pyrates! ...up close and personal means one of two things: You are either waking up with me in the morn or I am the last face you will ever see...</span>
Gypsy Rose Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 Great View. I wonder if anymore exist out there. Please post them.
Elizabeth Sparrow Posted July 15, 2006 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
