Today we join a team of divers as they unlock an
archaeological time capsule that provides us with a snap shot of life in the
infamous pirate stronghold and haven of Port
Royal, Jamaica.
This documentary covers the activities of The Port Royal Project, a joint program
of the Nautical Archaeology Program of Texas A&M University, in cooperation
with the Institute of Nautical Archaeology (INA) and the Jamaica National
Heritage Trust (JNHT) to excavate the undersea site of Port Royal which sank
into the sea following an earthquake in 1692.
