The Port Royal story
In 1655, English forces attacked Spanish Jamaica and took it with ease. For a few years after, the Spanish continued attempts to recapture the area. In response to these attempts, buccaneers were invited by the English Governor of Jamaica to settle in to protect the new colony and set up base. These "state-sponsored privateers" would plunder the surrounding Spanish colonies on behalf of the king and Port Royal actually became one of the richest places in the world. It was the home and paradise to the true pirates of the Caribbean.
