About Port Royal was a city located Mp3 Sound Effect
Port Royal was a city located at the end of the Palisadoes sand spit, guarding the entrance to Kingston Harbour in southeastern Jamaica 🌴. It was originally founded by the Spanish in 1494, and captured by the English in 1655, who renamed it Port Royal ⚓. By the late 17th century, Port Royal had become the largest and wealthiest city in the Caribbean, a key hub for maritime trade and a notorious stronghold for piracy under British protection 💰. It was home to privateers and buccaneers, including the infamous Henry Morgan, who raided Spanish ships and coastal towns 🏴☠️. Port Royal became known as “the most sinful city on Earth,” packed with taverns, gambling dens, and brothels — thriving on stolen wealth and lawless indulgence 🍻. The city prospered through what some called “forced commerce” — a network of traders and privateers cooperating in looting and trade, making it extremely prosperous, with an estimated population of 6,500 to 10,000 people and over 2,000 buildings 🏘️. But on June 7, 1692, at around 11:43 AM, a massive earthquake with an estimated magnitude of 7.5 struck the region. The sandy ground beneath the city liquefied, buildings collapsed, and a powerful tsunami engulfed two-thirds of the city 🌊. Between 2,000 and 3,000 people were killed as the city was literally swallowed by the sea 😱. The survivors fled to the nearby town of Kingston, which eventually replaced Port Royal as Jamaica’s leading city 🏙️. In the following centuries, Port Royal was hit by more earthquakes and hurricanes, reducing it to a quiet fishing village ⚠️. Today, it remains a site of archaeological significance and historical intrigue — often called “The Atlantis of the Caribbean.” 🧭 #historytok #caribbeantiktok #historyfacts #portroyal #pirate #lostcity #fypPort Royal was A City Located Sound Effects Free Download.
