Captain Morgan for Blood & Plunder

Captain Morgan has always been one of my Favourite Historical Figures.

Sir Henry Morgan born in Wales on the 24th January 1635, Harri Morgan was a Welsh privateer, plantation owner, and, later, Lieutenant Governor of Jamaica. Based in Port Royal, Jamaica - he raided settlements and ships on the Spanish Main, becoming a very wealthy man, eventually purchasing three large sugar plantations.

Morgan died a rich man (on 25th August 1688), and as Lieutenant Governor - was given a State Funeral, and an amnesty was declared so that Pirates and privateers could pay their respects without fear of arrest.

Anyway, this is my Take on the Great Man - Miniature (obviously) by Firelock Games as part of their Blood & Plunder Range.
