1669 Henry Morgan

Sir Henry Morgan (Welsh - Henry Morgan, ca. 1635 - 1688) was a British privateer, buccaneer, and admiral of the Royal Navy. He made himself famous during activities in the Caribbean, primarily raiding Spanish settlements. He earned a reputation as one of the most notorious and successful privateers in history, and one of the most ruthless among those active along the Spanish Main. The pirate captain Henry Morgan frequently used the little island as a base for his operations. He planned and staged many of his largest raids from Isla Vaca (current name Île-à-Vache), and lost multiple ships in the island's waters which have recently been found and explored by research divers.
