Description: Report on the results of the underwater archaeology of Port Royal, Jamaica, which was one of the largest towns in the English colonies during the late 17th-century.
Principal Investigator: Dr. Donny L. Hamilton Once known as the 'Wickedest City on Earth,' Port Royal on the island of Jamaica was one of the largest towns in the English colonies during the late 17th century.  It was a haven for privateers and pirates, such as the famed Sir Henry Morgan, due to its excellent geographic location in the middle of the Caribbean.  From Port Royal, these buccaneers preyed upon and plundered the heavily laden treasure fleets departing from the Spanish Main.
