The sunken Caribbean city of Port Royal had been long
rumored to have been visited by pirates who rise from
the ocean floor. In the mid-17th century, the port
was a thriving seaport, but it was heavily damaged in
1692 and by an earthquake and had suffered numerous
hurricanes which had prevented the port from regaining
its former glory. A 1907 earthquake caused the city to
sink beneath the waves.
A scientist believes that the older portions of the
city will soon become visible due to predicted volcanic
activity, and after obtaining grant funding, wants to
investigate.
