EDITORS COMMENTS
This panorama slideshow image presents a breathtaking view of Port Royal, Jamaica, in the early 20th century. Port Royal, an ancient city located at the end of the Palisadoes and the mouth of Kingston Harbour in south-eastern Jamaica, was founded in 1518 and served as the hub of shipping commerce in the Caribbean Sea during the latter half of the 17th century. The city's strategic location made it a thriving center for maritime activities, attracting merchants, pirates, and sailors from around the world. However, Port Royal's prosperity was short-lived. In 1692, a devastating earthquake struck the city, followed by subsequent fires, hurricanes, and flooding, which destroyed much of the city. The last major disaster occurred in 1907. Despite the setbacks, Port Royal remains an essential part of Jamaica's rich history. Jamaica, an island nation in the Greater Antilles of the Caribbean Sea, is situated south of Cuba and west of Hispaniola. Founded in 1518, Jamaica has a storied past, marked by its diverse cultural influences and natural beauty. This image, part of the Boswell Collection, Slide number 47, is estimated to have been taken around 1936. The photograph captures the essence of Port Royal's history and the enduring allure of the Caribbean Sea.
