told General Biamby what he heard and Biamby acted, shielding Garrison’s identity.” In his book, ‘My American Journey,’Colin Powell wrote: ”At 4:00 Biamby burst into the room. ‘The invasion is coming,’ he shouted. He had just been on the phone with a source at Fort Bragg, he told us, and American paratroopers were getting ready to board their aircraft at 5:00 P.M. Not bad intelligence, I thought, for a poor nation.” They then met with President Émile Jonassaint to negotiate a peaceful occupation. Garrison’s intercession effectively derailed a bloody invasion with predictions of 25,000 potential civilian casualties.Lane, Charles, Land of Disenchantment, The New Republic, September 29, 1997, pages 17 - 23David H.

During the pirate heydays, Hispaniola, now present day Haiti, was the base for pirates who attacked treasure laden Spanish galleons headed from the Caribbean to Europe. This included Columbus’ Santa Maria, lost off Cap Haitian in 1492, and the pirate Captain Morgan’s flagship HMS Oxford, blown up off Isle Île à Vache, off the coast of Haïti in 1669.
