Groups of Year 4 pupils at Gorseinon Junior school worked on different parts of the story of Henry Morgan’s attack on Maracaibo. When the pirates tried to sail away with their booty they found their exit blocked by the gun from the fort and 3 huge Spanish Man-o-wars. Morgan covered his ship with pitch, loaded it with kegs of gunpowder, dressed dummies as buccaneers and set fire to it causing an explosion that sank the Man-o-wars. Then he sent longboats to shore to fool the Spanish into moving their cannon to the other side of the fort allowing his ship to escape and the pirates to go after more plunder!
