* West Indies. Manuscript navigational instructions for entering Port Royal harbour in Jamaica, by W. May, circa 1780, 3 pp., 'After you get the length of the Yallahs keep the land on board it being clear along shore. As you run along - thus - you will soon discern the low shrubby land - called ye palsades - where this low land joins the high land you are running along - is a fort call'd Rock Fort. SSW from this fort - three or four miles is a number of sunken rocks - which ye sea beaks upon & which you must be sure to leave on your starbord hand & continue to run along the palisades - but come not nearer than two cables length - when you are high enough up to observe Port Royal, keep the middle of Fort Charles (which stands on Port Royal point) directly in a line with the whole way on Saltpond Hll - this will run you between a point on ye palisades call'd Plump Point about one mile - continue with ye above marks in one till ye make ye keys. The First is call'd Lime Bay - to be left on your harbourd hand. As soon as you pass this you will see two other keys right ahead - the Northwest one call'd Gun Key - the Southwest call'd Wreckams... As soon as you open Port Royal Church to ye west'd of Charlesfort you are clear of those knowles & may hall in to Port Royal Harbour to anchor - there is good watering at Rock Fort & plenty of wood on the Island to be purchased of the inhabitants. Not withstanding any directions that may be wrote - an intire stranger will very much hazard his ship if he venters higher than Plum Point without a pilote...', signed 'W. May', some crossings-through, small splits, a little light soiling, folds, folio, 32 x 20 cm (12.5 x 8 in) (Qty: 1)NOTESDetailed manuscript instructing a captain of a vessel entering Port Royal Harbour, Jamaica. Port Royal, lying at the mouth of Kingston Harbour in southeastern Jamaica was a former Spanish colony until captured by the English in 1655 and served as the unofficial capital of Jamaica until destroyed in an earthquake in 1692. Before the earthquake it was a base for privateers and pirates, used by governors of Jamaica to defend the port, among them Henry Morgan and later Blackbeard (Edward Teach or Thatch) who used the port to attack Spanish shipping and became a notorious hotbed of drunken debauchery and prostitution. After Henry Morgan was appointed was Lieutenant Governor in 1674, anti-piracy laws were enacted and Gallows Point in Port Royal became the place of execution of many pirates, including Calico Jack and Charles Vane. The Royal Navy expanded the port into a naval base from 1735, adding dockyards, wharves, and a naval hospital.
