- Santa Catalina Island: Treasure of Morgan’s Head -

Located just off the northern end of Providencia (known as Old Providence during the Golden Age of Piracy) is Santa Catalina Island, and upon the western shore is a notable rock formation named “Morgan’s Head”. The rock has been carved away by wind and wave, said to resemble a human face, and is named after Captain Henry Morgan; who used the island as a base of operations during his campaign against Panama in the 17th century.

Folklore persists that there is buried treasure on the island, deposited by Henry Morgan. One specific tale insists that there are chests of gold and jewels “underneath” Morgan’s Head, and the site is also of course haunted. According to that tale, there is a cave "just short of Morgan’s Head," and within he buried some loot he’d acquired from his raid of Panama in 1671. Inside, Morgan allegedly had four enslaved captives dig a ditch in which to bury the treasure, but would coldly behead each of them upon the completion of the task and toss them in as well, so that their souls may ‘guard against future interlopers’ until his return.

The claim of course states that Morgan never bothered to return to acquire the treasure, perhaps stemming from his relaxation and content governing Port Royal afterwards. Today, a well established, but often at times steep, hiking trail with many stairs can take you across the beautiful tropical island, and out directly to Morgan’s Head.

For similar buried treasure claims such as this, consider checking out my recently published book "Pirate Ghosts & Buried Treasures of the Southeast Coast," which includes many pirate-relevant tales from Florida to Virginia! Available now on Amazon, or signed copies by messaging this page.

(Pictured is an 1842 re-sketch of the period woodcut of Henry Morgan, a look at Morgan’s Head from the water to the south, a view from arriving to Morgan’s Head from the trail, a look out across the waters along the northern coast from Morgan’s Head, and the now-water-filled ‘Morgan’s Cave’)

New England es una región que condensa seis estados al noreste de los Estados Unidos: Connecticut, Maine, Massachussets, New Hampshire, Rhode Island y Vermont.

Rhode Island es el más pequeño de los estados del país con un población de 1.1 millones de habitantes de acuerdo registrados en el año 2020, lo que la transforma en la segunda ciudad con mayor densidad de población tras New Jersey. La ciudad toma el nombre de la isla homónima, aunque la mayor parte de su tierra está en el mismo continente. Providence es su capital y la ciudad con mayor población.

Nuestra historia se desarrolla en ese lugar, Providence, la capital de Rhode Island, fundada en 1636 por Roger Williams, un teólogo bautista reformado y exiliado religioso de la Colonia de la Bahía de Massachusetts. Bautizó la zona con ese nombre en honor de "la misericordiosa Providencia de Dios” (God's merciful Providence), que creía responsable de revelar tal refugio para él y sus seguidores. La ciudad se desarrolló como un puerto muy activo, ya que está situada en la desembocadura del río Providence, a la cabeza de la bahía de Narragansett.

Providence fue una de las primeras ciudades del país en industrializarse y se hizo famosa por su fabricación textil y las posteriores industrias de máquinas-herramienta, joyería y platería. En la actualidad, la ciudad de Providence alberga ocho hospitales y ocho instituciones de enseñanza superior que han desplazado la economía de la ciudad hacia las industrias de servicios, aunque aún conserva cierta actividad manufacturera.

Es una de esas ocho instituciones de enseñanza superior nuestro escenario principal, La universidad de Brown. Fundada 1764, es una universidad privada perteneciente a la Ivy League, una de las siete instituciones más antiguas de los Estados Unidos. Fue la primera institución que codificó que la admisión e instrucción de los estudiantes debía ser equitativa sin importar su religión. Cuenta con el programa de matemática aplicada más antiguo del país, así como con el programa de ingeniería más completo dentro de las Ivy League. Fue una de las primeras en dictar estudios de másters y doctorados. Cuenta con su propio curriculum abierto a causa de la presión estudiantil que la forzó a eliminar la obligatoriedad de estudios de educación general.

Numerosos ganadores de Premios Nobel son ex alumnos de la Universidad de Brown. También cuenta con ganadores de premios Pulitzer, billonarios, secretarios de estado y más de cien miembros del congreso americano, además de medallistas olímpicos y 22 ganadores del McArthur “Genius Grant”.

History

1510 - Spain claims the archipelago

1630 - arrival of English Puritans

1641 - Portuguese and Spanish conquest

1670-1672 - English buccaneer invasion

1775 - resettlement of the islands

1818 - French conquest

1822 - the islands join Gran Colombia

1999 - formation of the Archipelago Movement for Ethnic Native Self-Determination

2001-2012 - ICJ procedure over disputed claim

2002 - declaration of self-determination

2007 - independence declaration

2012 - an independence referendum is proposed

Spain claimed the Archipelago of San Andrés, Providence and Santa Catalina in 1510 and placed it under the administration of the Captaincy General of Guatemala. English Puritans arrived in Providencia in 1630, but the colony was soon conquered by the Portuguese and Spanish. In 1670, English buccaneers took over the islands but abandoned them two years later.

The islands were only repopulated in 1775 when they were transferred to the Viceroyalty of New Granada. In 1818, the French captured Providencia and St. Catherine. After the islands obtained independence, they voluntarily joined Gran Colombia. They rejected a U.S. offer to separate from Colombia in 1903.

Separatist movements started to spring up in the 1960s and sent a memorandum to the United Nations. In 2007, the Raizal people proclaimed their independence and proposed the celebration of a referendum five years later.

In 2001, Nicaragua filed a claim with the International Court of Justice over its maritime borders with Colombia, including the archipelago. The Court ruled that Colombia had sovereignty.

Raizal people

There are around 30,500 Raizal. They live in Nicaragua and the archipelago, where they represent 57% of the population. The Raizal people are one of the recognized Afro-Colombian ethnic groups.

Their native language is San Andrés-Providencia Creole, but they also speak English and Spanish. The main religion is Christianity, both Catholicism and Protestantism.

Analyzing Panama and Nicaragua's Maritime Disputes: Legal Implications in the Law of the Seas

Overview of Panama and Nicaragua's Maritime Disputes === Maritime disputes have long been a source of tension and conflict between nations, as sovereignty claims over territorial waters and exclusive economic zones intertwine with historical grievances and economic considerations. In the case of Panama and Nicaragua, two Central American countries, their maritime disputes have garnered international attention due to their complex legal implications under the Law of the Seas. This article aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the key aspects surrounding these disputes, including their historical context, legal framework, territorial claims, environmental concerns, economic impact, diplomatic efforts, and potential resolutions. === Historical Context: Understanding the Origins of the Disputes === To understand the maritime disputes between Panama and Nicaragua, it is crucial to delve into their historical context. The disputes stem from the long-standing territorial conflicts between the two nations, rooted in the geopolitical changes that occurred during the 19th and 20th centuries. Nicaragua has historically claimed sovereignty over certain maritime areas, including the San Andrés archipelago, while Panama holds competing assertions over these territories. The history of colonization, independence, and shifting national boundaries in the region has further complicated the disputes, creating a web of conflicting claims and disputed territories. === Legal Framework: Examining Relevant International Law and Treaties === The legal framework that governs maritime disputes between nations is primarily established through international law and treaties, notably the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). Both Panama and Nicaragua are parties to UNCLOS, which provides a set of rules and principles for the delimitation of maritime boundaries and the allocation of rights and responsibilities in the world's oceans. However, interpreting and applying UNCLOS in the context of Panama and Nicaragua's disputes remains contentious, as legal arguments and historical evidence are presented by both sides to support their respective claims. === Territorial Claims: Analyzing Panama and Nicaragua's Competing Assertions === The core of the maritime disputes between Panama and Nicaragua revolves around their competing territorial claims. Nicaragua asserts its sovereignty over the San Andrés archipelago, including the islands of Providencia and Santa Catalina, based on historical records, geographical proximity, and ethnic ties. On the other hand, Panama argues that these territories fall within its jurisdiction, emphasizing the legal effects of historical agreements and colonial-era boundaries. The conflicting claims have resulted in overlapping exclusive economic zones and complicated the determination of maritime boundaries, intensifying the legal and political tensions between the two countries. === Environmental Concerns: Implications for Marine Biodiversity and Resources === The maritime disputes between Panama and Nicaragua have significant implications for marine biodiversity and resources in the disputed areas. These regions are renowned for their rich ecosystems, including coral reefs, seagrass beds, and diverse marine species. The lack of clarity regarding the jurisdiction and management of these areas has raised concerns about the potential degradation of marine environments and the unsustainable exploitation of natural resources. The disputes call for careful consideration of environmental conservation and sustainable practices to avoid irreparable harm to these delicate ecosystems. === Economic Impact: Assessing the Effects of the Disputes on Trade and Development === The maritime disputes between Panama and Nicaragua have far-reaching economic consequences, affecting trade and development in the region. Uncertainty over territorial boundaries and resource rights hampers investment and economic activities, discouraging foreign direct investment and hindering the growth potential of both countries. The disputed areas are strategically located, intersecting important maritime routes for trade and transportation. The competing claims and potential disruptions to maritime activities pose risks to regional stability, hindering the economic integration and development prospects of the Central American region as a whole. === Diplomatic Efforts: Reviewing Attempts to Resolve the Maritime Disputes === Both Panama and Nicaragua have engaged in diplomatic efforts to find a resolution to their maritime disputes. Over the years, negotiations, bilateral talks, and international mediation have been attempted to reach a mutually acceptable solution. However, these efforts have thus far proven to be challenging, with historical grievances, political sensitivities, and conflicting interests impeding progress. The involvement of regional organizations such as the Organization of American States (OAS) and international courts and tribunals has been sought to provide impartial adjudication and facilitate peaceful resolutions. === Future Outlook: Predicting Potential Resolutions and Consequences === The future outlook for the maritime disputes between Panama and Nicaragua remains uncertain, as the complexities of history, law, and politics continue to shape the trajectory of these conflicts. Potential resolutions could range from bilateral negotiations and compromise to international adjudication by tribunals such as the International Court of Justice (ICJ). The consequences of these disputes extend beyond the immediate countries involved, impacting regional stability, environmental sustainability, and economic development. It is imperative for all stakeholders to continue diplomatic efforts, prioritize dialogue, and seek peaceful resolutions that uphold the principles of international law and promote regional cooperation. === The maritime disputes between Panama and Nicaragua are emblematic of the complex and multifaceted nature of such conflicts. As these nations grapple with historical claims, legal interpretations, and the environmental and economic consequences of their disagreements, the international community must closely monitor the situation and encourage peaceful resolutions. Respect for international law, thoughtful consideration of environmental concerns, and a focus on mutually beneficial outcomes are essential in finding a sustainable resolution to these disputes. Ultimately, the successful resolution of these maritime disputes can pave the way for increased cooperation and prosperity in the Central American region. Read the full article

A tiny island fears for its way of life as outside world encroaches: ‘They wanna do away with us’

Governed by Colombia, Providence’s residents have more in common with the English-speaking Caribbean. But following a devastating hurricane, change is coming.

The first thing that strikes visitors arriving on Old Providence is the island’s deep serenity. There are no cars and little noise except for the reggae playing at beach bars. Unlike most of Colombia’s tourist hotspots, there are no hawkers either; visitors are left to laze on the powdery white sands of Providence’s beaches alone. Even the sea is still as a lake. “We don’t have a lot here. No big hotels, no museums, none of that,” says Ferma Livingston in a thick Caribbean English as she emerges from her restaurant kitchen in Manzanillo Bay. “But what we do have is peace and tranquillity.”

Providence’s laid-back lifestyle and local customs have been preserved by the tiny island’s isolation. Though it is part of Colombian territory (and known in Spanish as Providencia), the volcanic island sits 450 miles (724km) north of the mainland and some 260 (418km) miles off the coast of Nicaragua.
