Henry Morgan: The Pirate Who Sacked a Spanish City

He was a pirate in all but name — and he did it with the blessing of a king. Henry Morgan led the buccaneers of the Caribbean on raids no one believed possible, marching his men through jungle and swamp to fall upon the richest cities of the Spanish empire. He plundered, he burned, and instead of the gallows, he was knighted and made a governor. Tonight, drift slowly through the rise of Henry Morgan: the buccaneer havens of the Caribbean and the privateer's licence that turned plunder into patriotism, the daring raids on Spanish ports, the impossible overland march to sack the great city of Panama, the fortune he seized and the empire he humiliated, and the strange final act in which the most feared pirate of the Caribbean became Sir Henry Morgan, lieutenant governor of Jamaica — told calmly, slowly, and without a single jarring sound, so you can let the story carry you to sleep. One buccaneer. One empire to plunder. The pirate who was knighted instead of hanged. This is a long, calm maritime history documentary made for sleep, study, late drives, and slow evenings. Soft narration, painted visuals, gentle ocean atmosphere — no sudden noise, no shifts. New voyages every night.
