| | Captain Henry Morgan: Real Pirates of the Caribbean, Chapter I |
 | | Captain Morgan was a ruthless privateer and ingenious naval strategist who eventually settled down to a knighted life of ease and wealth as deputy governor of Jamaica. |
 | | Morgan and his buccaneers, far exceeding the scope of Morgan’s commission, proceeded to go on a bloodthirsty (as pirates or privateers are wont to do) rampage. |
 | | Perhaps surprisingly, Morgan did not stick to his flintlocks and continue to demand 350,000; he accepted the lower amount of 100,000, the hostages were released and Morgan’s forces were withdrawn to Jamaica. |
