Synopsis

Unearth a real maritime mystery and the clues that tie a farm barn to the famed Mayflower. This nonfiction work follows careful detective work, archival evidence, and expert photography to weigh surprising connections between a dismantled ship and a Buckinghamshire estate. It invites readers to test theories against surviving records and physical traces.

The author builds a case step by step, showing how inscriptions, beams, and local wills may point to ownership, origins, and the ship’s journey. You’ll see how historical reconstruction turns on careful interpretation of fragile evidence and a deliberate, evidence-driven approach.

• Carefully presented clues about the Mayflower’s shipwreck and why a farm building might reuse its timber.


• How archival records, parish registers, and old wills contribute to a larger historical story.


• A guided look at possible connections between families and places around Chalfont St. Giles and Chesham.


• A clear, methodical narrative that weighs competing hypotheses without overreaching.

Ideal for readers who enjoy maritime history, historical investigation, and the puzzle of how the past is pieced together from fragmentary evidence.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
