Admiral Sir John Kempthorne vessels and Jamaica harbor escape amid Morgan the pirate captain. Morgan seizes the Mary Rose after killing the cabin sentry and leading a bold boarding action. The frigate slips past fort defenses with Ravereau Velsers steering while Rock and Toach man the guns.
In a tense night scene Morgan and Hornigold clash with a governor's boat near Port Royal. The Mary Rose, pursued by the frigate, rams the governor’s boat while Morgan orders artillery and musket fire to seal the ambush, threatening to blast through the fort and escape.
Confusion over a murderous discharge at close range weakens the fort as the frigate slips free under heavy musketry and pistol fire. The crew governors the hold, the garrison’s guns, and the ship’s march toward open sea proceeds. Mor gan, hailed as a buccaneer king, sees victory amid cheers.
