- Port Royal, Fort Charles tour! Giddy House
In this video we took a trip to Kingston to get my wife from teh airport, we had some time to kill so I drove to Port Royal and toured Fort Charles!
It was a great hostory lession that includes Colonial, Jamaican, British and even Pirate history.
Here is more information on Fort Charles:
Fort Charles was built between 1650 and 1660, the first fort constructed in Port Royal, Jamaica.
Fort Charles is located in the small town of Port Royal in Jamaica. The town was founded on a natural harbour and Fort Charles was constructed to guard its entrance. According to Donny L. Hamilton, the fort was situated at the tip of the sand spit separating Kingston Harbour from the Caribbean.[2] The fort is almost completely surrounded by water.

Port Royal History:
Port Royal is a village located at the end of the Palisadoes, at the mouth of Kingston Harbour, in southeastern Jamaica. Founded in 1494 by the Spanish, it was once the largest city in the Caribbean, functioning as the centre of shipping and commerce in the Caribbean Sea by the latter half of the 17th century.[1] It was destroyed by an earthquake on 7 June 1692, which had an accompanying tsunami, leading to the establishment of Kingston, which is now the largest city in Jamaica. Severe hurricanes have regularly damaged the area. Another severe earthquake occurred in 1907.

Giddy House History:
First built in 1880 near Fort Charles, Jamaica, Giddy House was originally a Royal Artillery House meant to store weapons and gunpowder for the adjacent Victoria and Albert Battery. After Port Royal was struck by an earthquake in 1907, Giddy House partially sank into the ground as a result of soil liquefaction. Its nickname, Giddy House, comes from the feeling visitors have when trying to stand straight while inside.

I went to the Giddy House on a school trip when I was a kid, back in the mid '80s when there was a ferry ⛴️ from downtown Kingston to Port Royal that was operating multiple trips an hour. Those were the good ole days indeed.
Yohan, another one...🤔
Wow sounds great!
Thanks for the history lesson. The view of your drive from Montego Bay was spectacular.
Glad you enjoyed it
I remember those days in the early 80s I use to go on trips there too. They told us about the three ships that sank and shew us pieces of ruins that were found.
