Thanks, SunkenCiv...The Captain's story is so interesting I thought I would ping the list for this post (even though it's not about the US or colonial US). See his story here.

That pic is from the MASH episode Morgan appeared in, before he was Sherman Potter.
Ha! I was hoping someone would have the ol’ boy pictured, you didn’t dissappoint. Brilliant show.
Um... Thanks! I think...
Used to love the curmudgeonly Henry Morgan on the old “I’ve Got a Secret.”
:’) That’s the one.
He was hilarious in his first appearence, as another character, before he became a regular.
:’)
I actually enjoyed that POS, particularly when he used the thompson to knock Aristotle’s picture off the wall.
Interesting.

I was at the 1624 ship Vasa in Sweden just this weekend:

An awesome experience.
MASH – 3×01 – The General Flipped At Dawn, immortalizing these words:
Now, feel at ease. Just tell in your own words… But first, a number. You know, a musical number, you’ve got it in your blood, boy. Just let it out.
“Hey, hey, Uncle Fud It’s a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi mud, It’s a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi mud.”
Thanks for ping.
That’s a pretty good impression of John McCain.
Was it from a fierce battle or a huge hurricane?
Henry Morgan returned to a Jamaica much changed from the one he had left. In the Treaty of Madrid, signed in 1670, England had agreed to suppress piracy in return for Spanish recognition of its sovereignty in Jamaica. In 1672, Morgan was transported back to England to be tried for piracy, but he was received rather more as a romantic hero than as a vicious criminal. Relations with Spain deteriorated once again, and in 1674 he was made a baronet. Later that year, he returned to Jamaica as Lieutenant Governor Sir Henry Morgan, even serving as acting governor from 1680 to 1682. He died in 1688 — rich, respectable and an enduring contradiction to the adage that crime does not pay."
Indeed...he seems like quite a character. A movie about his life...and sticking to the facts...would be terrific.
Good question, I don’t remember.
