#Repost @letters_of_marque ・・・ On June 7, 1692, a massive earthquake devastated the infamous pirate haven of Port Royal in Jamaica, killing thousands. The strong tremors, soil liquefaction and a tsunami brought on by the earthquake combined to destroy the majority of the town. This is our copy of the broadside that was released informing the public of the horrors that occured that fateful day: #historicaldocument #earthquake #tsunami #piratetown #naturaldisaster #portroyal #pirate #privateer #maritime #sailor #pirates #costume #lettersofmarque #reenactment #17thcentury #18thcentury #bemorepirate #piratecosplay #piratecostume #piratefestival #piratefest #piratesofthecaribbean #pirateoutfit #blackbeard #blacksails #frenchinfantry #piratelife #piratelifeforme #apirateslifeforme https://www.instagram.com/p/CBJjO6wDi2s/?igshid=tyi50ys3zsow
