Description:

Dan Bruce

Port Royal, 'the wickedest city on Earth', slid into the sea as an earthquake struck in 1692. In this one session class, we will find out if it was wicked, (and in whose opinion) and also look at the reality behind the movie version. I will introduce some of the well-known and some of the lesser players in the dramatic story such as Henry Morgan and Sir Anthony Shirley. We'll have a quick look at the way in which Queen Elizabeth I and Charles II played the game at arm's length and won.
