On May 10, 1655, English Admiral William Penn and General Robert Venables attacked the Spanish Colony.
On the coast, the English built the settlement of Port Royal, which became a base of operations for pirates and privateers, including Captain Henry Morgan, who mercilessly raided Spanish fleet and colonies and kept the Spaniards so busy defending their coasts, that they had little time to attack Jamaica.
