#CARRIBBEANSEA

[babylon-crashing]

Some speak of prayer to calm the sea. Only

in the dire doldrums are there windless waves

where whole ships, becalmed, die of thirst. The sea

does not care for such prayer. It’s full of graves

of the drowned who didn’t seek to appease,

“One Whose Fury Lays Waste To Everything;”

whose arms, the huracán’s curving winds, seize

and rend. Her name, in Taino rock carvings,

is Guabancex. Let the landlubbers spin yarns

of some old gringo, “parting the waters.”

Any god who can’t quell a hurricane

is bunk, sez’ New Orleans. Mother of Storms,

Guabancex, I’ll ride out your rage. Daughters

that deign, let my prayer join this howling rain.

][][

Notes:

The people who lived in the Caribbean prior to contact, the Taíno, personified the hurricane as Guabancex (pronounced Gua Ban She) Wrathful Mother of Storms. The art that survives depicts her arms outstretched in a S-shape, the same pattern that the winds of these giant storms take.

#Repost @twhistory1963 ・・・ The 1692 Jamaica earthquake struck Port Royal, Jamaica on 7 June. A stopped pocket watch found in the harbor in 1969 indicated that it occurred around 11:43 a.m. Known as the “storehouse and treasury of the West Indies”, and as "one of the wickedest places on Earth", it was, at the time, the unofficial capital of Jamaica, one of the busiest and wealthiest ports in the West Indies, and a common home port for many of the privateers and pirates operating within the Caribbean Sea. The earthquake caused most of the city to sink below sea level. About 2,000 people died as a result of the earthquake and the following tsunami; and, about another 3,000 people died in the days following the earthquakes, due to injuries and disease. . . . . . #jamaica #portroyal #piratesofthecaribbean #piratesofthecarribean #pirates #earthquake #earthquakes #carribbean #carribbeansea #johnnydepp #england #british #jamaicahistory #spain #piratehistory #piratehunters #scubadiving #scuba #kingston #kingstonjamaica #tsunami #pirateship #history #caymanislands #cayman #henrymorgan #rum #sodomandgomorrah #edwardthatch #blacksails https://www.instagram.com/p/B1JQ7qDDQwW/?igshid=1vu7um6acj4em
