For the first time, the Russian reader has the opportunity to get acquainted with the true history of the filibusters of the island of Jamaica in the period from its conquest by the British (1655) to the infamous campaign of Henry Morgan against the center of Spanish possessions in Central America - the city of Panama (1671). The book, based on rare English, French, Dutch and Spanish documents, traces the formation and development of the filibuster base in Port Royal, which, along with the island of Tortuga, became one of the main refuges of pirates of the Caribbean in the 60s of the 17th century. Here such illustrious “gentlemen of fortune” as Christopher Mings and Edward Mansfelt, Maurice Williams and Rock the Brazilian, Robert Searle and Henry Morgan sold their ships and sold their loot... The book is intended both for lovers of the history of naval warfare and piracy, and for the general reader , captivated by the romance of distant travels through the tropical islands of the West Indies.
