In 1692, the English colony of Jamaica faced a catastrophe unlike anything before: a massive earthquake and subsequent tsunami destroyed Port Royal, the infamous 'wickedest city on earth.' This episode delves into the geological causes of the liquefaction that swallowed buildings whole, the immediate aftermath as survivors fled to Kingston, and the long-term impact on Jamaica's economy and society. We discuss how the disaster reshaped colonial power dynamics, disrupted the Atlantic slave trade, and led to the rise of Kingston as the island's new commercial hub. Join Lucas and Luna as they explore firsthand accounts, archaeological findings, and the legacy of a city that sank in minutes. #PortRoyal #Earthquake1692 #JamaicaHistory #Liquefaction #PirateHaven #Kingston #ColonialJamaica #Tsunami #SirHenryMorgan #RoyalAfricanCompany #Cagway #FortCharles #BlueMountains #Slavery #AtlanticWorld #History #FexingoHistory #CaribbeanHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
