SIR HENRY MORGAN
Sir Henry Morgan was a Welsh Buccaneer who was active in the Caribbean in the 1600's. Basing himself in Port Royal Jamaica, where he owned a sugar Plantation and was married to Mary, it was his life as a privateer that gained him notoriety, especially his sacking of Panama City and his attacks on Porto Bello. Today he is perhaps best known for Morgan's Rum.
TREASURE HUNTING
A passionate hobby for some, a multi million dollar business for others, treasure hunting is still alive and kicking in many of today's oceans - not just in the Caribbean. In July 2018 The Times newspaper reported archaeology experts recently estimated that Albania's waters are filled with priceless artifacts with the risk that they could soon be lost for good to private collectors on the black market.
ZAPATILLAS ISLANDS
Zapatillas are windswept, isolated, uninhabited islands a short boat ride from Bastimentos Island in the Bocas del Toro region of Panama. They are a protected nature park and a turtle sanctuary where turtles lay their eggs during the nesting season from March to September. They are also the islands where a local legend says Sir Henry Morgan buried treasure.
