Port Royal (Jamaica) was, before the devastating earthquake of 1692, the principal port and trading hub of the British Caribbean. A Sephardic Jewish community was active there in commerce and maritime trade. After the catastrophe, most of the surviving Jews resettled in Kingston, where the community continued to prosper.
