	In the seventeenth century, Port Royal, a harbor town on the southern coast of Jamaica, was a refuge for [[Slavery\|slave]] traders. It also became a place where semi-legal [[Piracy\|piratical]] activities took place. In the 1660s, [[United Kingdom\|British]] buccaneers and privateers were tacitly encouraged by the British authorities to attack [[Spain\|Spanish]] [[ships]] in order to prevent Spain from retaking the island. The buccaneer [[Henry Morgan]] established his headquarters in Port Royal. When the British authorities sought to properly administer the island, the buccaneers' rule was eradicated, but Morgan was nonetheless appointed governor of Jamaica and commanded to bring order to the town.
