After Port Royal was struck by an earthquake in 1907, Giddy House partially sank into the ground as a result of soil liquefaction.

Its nickname, Giddy House, comes from the feeling visitors have when trying to stand straight while inside.

Located on the western end of the Palisadoes Strip, Fort Charles was built by the British after Jamaica was taken from the Spaniards.

The military stronghold was initially damaged in the earthquake that rocked ‘The Most Sinful City on Earth’ in 1692; the natural disaster sunk a large portion of Port Royal and killed thousands of residents.

Many of the fort’s cannon and guns sunk into the sand, its buildings and docks were badly damaged.
