488. Swashbuckler Captain Morgan

Buccaneer Henry Morgan (1635–88) was born in Wales. Kidnapped as a child in Bristol, England and shipped to Barbados, he joined the buccaneers, leading many raids against the Spanish and Dutch in the Caribbean and Central America. His most famous exploit was the sacking of Porto Bello (Panama) and the city of Panama in 1671.
