Many years ago, Jamaica was a British colony. At a time when Queen Victoria reigned, and pirates roamed the seas, Port Royal was a prosperous thriving town. It was a military base, filled with riches and revelry, gold, jewels, parties and grandeur. In 1692 an earthquake struck and ravaged the once great city, much of it sank under the sea and many people lost their lives. The people rebuilt but in 1907 nature struck again with another earthquake. The Giddy House is one of the buildings remaining. It is tilted at a 45 degree angle. It is located at Fort Charles in Port Royal, a reminder of days gone by. Learn more stories like this by exploring our site and following our blog.
