Fort Morgan Cay, like Roatan, has a rich history, a pirate history that is interesting to many people. Port Royal has been a highly wanted place for colonialists and pirates in the past. The English, the Spaniards, and even the pirates competed for a place and built fortresses because of their strategic position. In 1502, the pirates took over Port Royal and used it as a naturally protected port to defend against attacks from the sea. Three fortresses, two on the main island and the third on Fort Morgan Cay, protected the fleet in the port.

One of the most famous pirates operating nearby in the Caribbean was Sir Henry Morgan, better known as the famous Captain Morgan (who attacked mostly Spanish colonies and had a base in Jamaica). There are many stories and legends about pirates in Roatan and Fort Morgan Cay. And a ruin from pirate times remains on the island even today as valuable proof of that history.
