Sir Henry Morgan never reached the West Coast but he did work his way down to the South Atlantic coast of South America so I did include hm in this series. Sir Henry Morgan was an English Privateer (to the Spanish he was just a pirate) born in 1635 operating in the Caribbean during the 17th Century and died of an illness in 1685. He Raided Maracaibo and later Panama. Below is an excerpt from Wikipedia concerning Sir Henry Morgan.
After receiving a commission as privateer in 1662, he realized that he could avoid having to split any spoils with the government if he attacked on land, which was not mentioned in his contract. Henry Morgan's fame began to spread after a two-year journey to Central America begun in 1664 using land raids on cities like Vilahermosa in Mexico and Gran Granada on Lake Nicaragua, a waypoint for Spanish silver operations. His uncle Edward Morgan was appointed lieutenant governor of Jamaica while he was away, but died in office in early 1665 during an attack on a nearby Dutch island.
p>Henry married Edward's daughter Mary when he returned the next year, further strengthening his position in Caribbean high society. He was also made Colonel of the militia. While his crew wasted all their rewards on drinking and folly, Morgan began investing in land, plantations, and friendships with political powers like Jamaican governor Thomas Modyford. He was on the Jamaican Council until the raid on Panama violated a treaty that England had with Spain and fell out of favor. p>Morgan had lived in an opportune time for pirates. He was successfully able to use the conflicts between England and her enemies both to support England and to enrich himself and his crews. With his death, the pirates who would follow would also use this same ploy, but with less successful results. He was also one of the few pirates who were able to retire from his piracy, having had great success, and with little legal retribution.
If you are after Pirate Treasure Isla De Muerta make sure you get the waypoint on the inside of the cache lid!
