https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/afloat-with-henry-morgan-radio-show--6318944Sir Henry Morgan (Welsh: Harri Morgan; c. 1635 – 25 August 1688) was a Welsh privateer, plantation owner, and, later, Lieutenant Governor of Jamaica. From his base in Port Royal, Jamaica, he and those under his command raided settlements and shipping ports on the Spanish Main, becoming wealthy as they did so. With the prize money and loot from the raids, Morgan purchased three large sugar plantations on Jamaica.Much of Morgan's early life is unknown; he was born in an area of Monmouthshire that is now part of the city of Cardiff.

 It is not known how he made his way to the West Indies, or how the Welshman began his career as a privateer. He was probably a member of a group of raiders led by Sir Christopher Myngs in the early 1660s during the Anglo-Spanish War. Morgan became a close friend of Sir Thomas Modyford, the Governor of Jamaica; as diplomatic relations between the Kingdom of England and Spain worsened in 1667, Modyford gave Morgan a letter of marque, or a licence, to attack and seize Spanish vessels. Morgan subsequently conducted successful and highly lucrative raids on Puerto del Príncipe (now Camagüey in modern Cuba) and Porto Bello (now Portobelo in modern Panamá). In 1668, he sailed for Maracaibo, Venezuela, and Gibraltar, on Lake Maracaibo; he plundered both cities before destroying a large Spanish squadron as he escaped.]]>enHistoryCopyright Radio Shows of the Past!https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/0588e6536d6ba8390f32c58edfc68f86.jpghttps://www.spreaker.com/podcast/afloat-with-henry-morgan-radio-show--6318944Mon, 30 Sep 2024 10:53:04 +0000Radio Shows of the Past!Radio Shows of the Past!feeds@spreaker.comSir Henry Morgan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welsh_language: Harri Morgan; c. 1635 – 25 August 1688) was a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welsh_people https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privateer, plantation owner, and,...Sir Henry Morgan (Welsh: Harri Morgan; c. 1635 – 25 August 1688) was a Welsh privateer, plantation owner, and, later, Lieutenant Governor of Jamaica.
