Captain Henry Morgan was a legendary Welsh privateer who raided Spanish towns and shipping in the 1660’s and 1670’s.
After the successful sacking of Portobello (1668) and a daring raid on Lake Maracaibo (1669) made him a household name on both sides of the Atlantic, Morgan stayed on his farm in Jamaica for a while before Spanish attacks convinced him to once again sail for the Spanish Main.
In 1671, he launched his greatest attack: the capture and sacking of the rich city of Panama.
