Dark sights in Port Royal

  1. Naval Cemetery

    Less than 1km east of the dockyard, also enclosed by a brick wall, is the intriguing Naval Cemetery, where sailors lie buried beneath shady palms. Alas, the cemetery's most ancient quarter, which contained the grave of the famous buccaneer Sir Henry Morgan, sank beneath the sea in 1692.

  2. Old Gaol House

    The only fully restored historical structure in town is the sturdy Old Gaol House, made of cut stone on Gaol Alley. It predates the 1692 earthquake, when it served as a women's jail. Today it houses a pharmacy.
