In the 17th century, Port Royal was the capital of Jamaica and a popular place for pirates to bring and spend their treasure, earning the city a seedy reputation. On June 7, 1692, a devastating earthquake and subsequent tsunami hit the city, causing two-thirds of it to sink into the Caribbean Sea. Between 1,000 and 3,000 people—more than half of the city's population—were killed in the disaster. What city assumed Port Royal's role as capital of Jamaica after the earthquake?
