Port Royal is a town located at the end of the Palisadoes, which is at the mouth of Kingston Harbor in southeastern Jamaica. Founded in 1494 by the Spanish, it was once the largest and most prosperous city in the Caribbean, functioning as the center of shipping and commerce in the Caribbean Sea by the latter half of the 17th century. It was destroyed by an earthquake on 7 June 1692 and tsunami, which lead to the establishment of Kingston, the largest city and Capital of the Island of Jamaica.
