A
group of men wanted to build a copy of the famous "Black
Pearl", not only as it used to look but also with the same
materials and in the same place where this famous ship was built 338
years ago! The
wood used included the Santa Maria wood for the frame and the Pine for
the sheathing. The Black Pearl was constructed according to a primitive
drawing by one of the sea robbers, who was sailing this ship. A lot of
time was spent drawing and designing the ship, constructing and paying
attention to all the details to preserve the original look of the vessel.
This ship will hold a capacity of 70
tourists and 8 crew members who can live aboard comfortably. The ship
has 2 cabins with a bathroom and a toilet, two
other smaller cabins and a cabin for a crew. It also has an equipped
kitchen which is located in the bow. The ship also offers 2
public toilets for men and women.
This ship has 5 huge canvases and is 27 meters long and 7 meters wide. A
main pole is 25 meters high and a standby pole is 18 meters high. The ship has 3 decks and an underdeck. We believe that you will
be as enthusiastic as we are after seeing this new pearl of the
Caribbean Sea! |

Details include 6 bronze functional canons,
handmade canvases and ropes, and also the sheathing impregnated by hot
blood from oxen.

"The ship of a famous sea robber"
Henry Morgan was born in Welse in 1635. A sailor and a soldier, who
served under the British Crown, became one of the most famous sea
robbers of all time. At first he was a slave on the Barbados, then he
went to Port Royal where he bought a leadership of the ship called
Ganymed. Later when he was under the Lord Christopher Myngse“s command
he took part in a foray with his ship and connected two highly valuable
points in the Caribbean Sea, Truhia and Grenada, to the British Crown.
He received attention of generals, common sailors and soldiers and
respect of all captains in the Caribbean Sea thanks to his skills,
cleverness and brightness. Afterwards he gave rise to Liberty
Brotherhood and finally also to his own republic of the sea robbers. In
1667 Henry Morgan decided to build pride of his fleet, the Black Pearl.
It was his flag-ship, where he spent his all free time and from where he
operated all of his robber's actions, legal sea fights under the British
flag and even wild inordinate drunks. He could make the best of the
hostility between the Spaniards and the British. As he still ploughed
the sea between Jamaica and Panama, he decided to build his ship on the
Honduras coast, i.e. approximately halfway to the present town of La
Cieba. It was very close to his favorite Roatan Island, where he often
anchored, rested with his crew and repaired ships damaged in fights.
Since the island was surrounded with a coral cliff being highly
dangerous for ships, any ship of his chasers did not risk getting to
Morgan. At present his favorite place on the Roatan Island is called
Port Royal like the famous pirate town in Jamaica. It lies on the east
part of the island in the direction to the Honduras coast. The Black
Pearl was floated in 1669. This ship took part in many fights and
robberies; the biggest one was an invasion in Panama in 1671. One year
later, Morgan was put in prison in England. He, however, proved his
innocence in a plot and was finally promoted to a noble status in 1674.
Later he returned to the Jamaica as its governor and the main judge.
Henry Morgan died after long illness in England in 1688. |
