Port Royal

Port Royal, once the largest English colonial city in the Americas, was 'rediscovered' in the 20th century after being destroyed by a devastating earthquake in 1692. A meticulous analysis of its inventory records reveals intriguing insights into daily life and economic activities during its heyday. This study highlights the significance of Port Royal's 'meiocirculante,' offering a nuanced understanding of its socio-economic dynamics. By examining these inventories, researchers have reconstructed aspects of the city's vibrant yet short-lived existence, providing a window into 17th-century colonial America.
