This town’s “Gallows Point” served as a frequent execution spot. A leader of this town built Fort Charles and later led a (*) raid on Porto Bello. This town, known as the “Sodom of the New World” for its many taverns, served as the base of operations for the Brethren of the Coast along with the island of Tortuga. This town was destroyed by a 1692 earthquake that led to the disappearance of Henry Morgan’s corpse and the establishment of nearby Kingston.
