Abstract

A chapter of the book "Pirate Tales" is presented. It tells the story of John Dunn, who became a pirate after Spaniards started hunting them down, and Henry Morgan, who became leader of the pirates after Edward Mansfield died. They attacked Portobelo, using nuns and monks as cover to get near the castle. The pirates under Morgan then targeted Panama but the Spaniards heard of their coming and stashed their treasures. Morgan was captured but he eventually became Lieutenant-Governor and then Governor of Jamaica.
