Port-Royal
Port-Royal is a historical site located in the Caribbean, specifically on the southern coast of Jamaica. Once a bustling port city in the 17th century, it was known for its wealth, trade, and as a hub for pirates and privateers. The city was famously destroyed by an earthquake in 1692, leading to significant loss of life and property.
Today, Port-Royal is recognized for its archaeological significance. Excavations have revealed artifacts that provide insight into colonial life and maritime history. The site is also home to the Port Royal Museum, which showcases the rich heritage and stories of this once-thriving city.
