5 Days sailing north across the Caribbean Sea to the home of 'pirates, cutthroats, whores and some of the vilest persons in the whole world', Port Royal, Jamaica. In the late 1600's, the richest and wickedest city in the world noted for its 'gaudy display of wealth and loose morals'.

Sitting on the trade route from Spain to Panama, Port Royal was frequented by Henry Morgan, Edward "Blackbeard" Teach, Calico Jack and other pirates, many to meet their death on the town's Gallows Hill.

On June 7, 1692 an earthquake struck Jamaica and Port Royal slid into the sea. Divine Justice or arbitrary seismatics?
