Morgan's frigate raid ends with brutal naval victory
Morgan ships a bold sea ambush against Spanish frigates near the Jamaica coast. Hornigold maneuvers the Mary Rose to parallel the target, firing a devastating broadside that leaves the first Spaniard ship wrecked and its captain slain. Morgan presses the assault as the other two ships brace for battle. A stray closing line hints at a social remark about a girl and marriage.
