Morgan and crew seize English frigate Mary Rose in harbor raid
Sir Henry Morgan revives buccaneer ways after seizing an English frigate in port and massacring its crew. He orders a swift exit through a narrow harbor channel while Hornigold fights to steer clear of the fort. The surprise attack ends with Morgan's ship escaping under cover of salvoes from the harbor batteries. The raid marks a bold turn back toward piracy.
