Two famous movies were filmed on property. In the 1950's the Jules Verne classic "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea" was filmed in the cave. In the 1970's the Steve McQueen classic "Papillon" was filmed on the cliffs where the star actor jumped off to make his escape from Devil's Island.
The "Pirates of The Caribbean" were encouraged by the British Governors in 1655 to base themselves in Port Royal, Jamaica. The most famous buccaneer of them all was Sir Henry Morgan. He was Lieutenant Governor of Jamaica in the 1680's.
The cave on property and the cave's around Westend, Negril made excellent hiding places for pirates and their treasure.
Another famous pirate and his wenches, "Calico Jack", Ann Bonny, and Mary Reid were captured in Bloody Bay, Negril by Royal Navy, taken to Kingston where Calico Jack Rackham and his crew were hanged. Don't worry, this won't happen to you. |
