Excerpt: ... read that the "new pynnace " arrived in England, and was there an object of admiration, as a specimen of naval architecture. The improbability that this "pynnace" was sea-worthy, and made a voyage across the Atlantic, will appear from the following considerations; -- 1. There was not time between the 15th of December and Spring to build a sea-worthy vessel. There were but forty-five persons left in the colony, and this number was reduced before Spring by disease and squabbles with the Indians. There were probably not ten carpenters in the company. The Winter, we are told, was unseasonable and intensely severe. Strachey says, that, "after Capt. Davies's departure they fully finished the fort, trencht and fortified it with 12 pieces of ordnance, and built 50 howses, besides a church and a storehouse," -- sufficient work, we might suppose, to employ forty-five Old Bailey convicts till Spring, without building a sea-going vessel.

We know that the Popham colonists were knaves; but it is not necessary to infer that they were fools. Here was a good, stanch ship, the "Mary and John," of London, Captain Davies, master, about to sail for England. The whole company was now reduced to about forty...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Popham Colony: A Discussion of Its Historical Claims, With a Bibliography of the Subject In the following discussion, the arguments for and against the historical claims of the English Colony that landed at the mouth of the Kennebee River, August 19, (0. S.) 1607, are presented in an able and comprehensive manner. The articles, when they appeared in the columns of a daily newspaper, attracted much attention; and, as they contain matter of permanent historical interest, we have deemed them worthy of preservation in a collected form. The writers can have no further motive for withholding their names. We therefore state that 'P." is Mr. William Frederick Poole, Librarian of the Boston Athenaeum; that "Sabino" is Rev. Edward Ballard, D. D., of Brunswick, Me.; and that "Orient" and "Sagadahoc" are the signatures of Mr. Frederic Kidder, of Boston. Each year, since the first Popham Celebration in 1862, memorial services have been held on the Anniversary of the Landing in 1607. Public addresses have been delivered on these occasions, and these have usually been printed. Mr. John A. Poor, of Portland, Me., delivered the Oration in 1862; Mr. George Folsom, of New York, in 1863; Mr. Edward E. Bourne, of Kennebunk, Maine, in 1864; and Prof. James W. Patterson, of Dartmouth College, in 1865. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
