Got a Little Captain in You?
Captain Morgan's is a brand of rum that many are familiar with, but how many actually know the history behind the name? The name comes from the great Caribbean privateer Sir Henry Morgan. He was from Wales. He had a reputation of being the most dangerous pirates who worked on the Spanish Main. He was very successful in his lifetime. He began as a part of some political council in England. He worked on a ship and eventually became an admiral. He led attacks on many Spanish colonies. The greed controlled Morgan, though. He became a pirate. He was one of the best in history. His death is not completely certain. He was on of the very few pirates that actually got to retire and escape much legal disputes.
