This Caribbean Island’s Sunken City Was a Pirate Stronghold
"The only fort in the town to survive the devastating 1692 earthquake, this coastal fortress now operates as a museum and offers tangible links to colonial military history. It contains Nelson’s Quarterdeck, where Horatio Nelson once lived, and is closely associated with the nearby Giddy House, an artillery store built in 1888 that became half-submerged after a 1907 earthquake. Its survival and museum interpretation make it a key stop for visitors interested in the site’s naval, colonial, and seismic history." - Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila is a bilingual travel writer, editor, and content marketer.
