Sir Henry Morgan's siege of Panama

Sir Henry Morgan was regarded as of the of the greatest buccaneers of all time and was a vital asset to the English in regards to capturing territory and acquiring  vast booty from raiding towns and ships on the high seas. Sir Henry Morgan set his sights on a promising venture of capturing the city of Panama and dreamed of all the riches he would soon have in his possession. However, this plan did not go as Morgan planned at all. Morgan's first challenge to raiding the city of Panama was the dense jungle that was in his way of arriving at Panama. Morgan found the Charges River which allowed him to travel a significant portion of the journey by water. Morgan and his men then continued on to panama to defeat the commander Don Juan Perez handedly but after the battle they soon realized that all the wealth had been removed and they could make out ships departing from the city which presumably held the wealth. Morgan then decided to rejoice in the capture of Panama rather than hunt down the escaping enemies with the rest of the city's treasure. Although the treasure they gained was less than they had originally thought it still required 175 mules to carry the loot back to San Lorenzo. Spain was outraged at this attack on Panama and demanded that Morgan be punished. Morgan returned to England and was "arrested" for only two years but he was really treated as a celebrity and did whatever he pleased. The sack of panama was a great historical feat and was Morgan's greatest raid against the Spanish.
