In my study of travel narratives written during the Great Irish Famine I devote half of Chapter 6 to Tennyson’s visit to Aubrey de Vere’s Limerick family seat Curragh Chase during the Famine. Here -among other things-I argue that The Princess storyline is in part an allegory for the relationship between Ireland and England.

There is a Blue Plaque at the Boatyard that built the Mayflower at Killingholme Haven, near Immingham, Lincolnshire/South Humberside. From the Boatyard the first Pilgrims boarded the Mayflower. It also stopped at Grimsby and Boston before setting off for Holland. That was the History of the Mayflower as taught to me in Grimsby, my Birthtown, prior to joining the Military in 1976. By the time I returned to Grimsby in 1979 my parents had moved to South Killingholme not far from the Mayflowers construction site. I myself cycled from Killingholme to see the Blue Plaque when I returned to my Parents in 1980, prior to moving back to Gibraltar to live and work for a few years. Now I am retired and live in Essex, a lot milder climate that the Winter of 1963, when the snow was above the Front Door. Tony in Essex.

I don't think the boat was actually built in Killingholme, more likely Harwich. They actually joined another ship at Killingholme and went over to Holland. There are quite a few myths surrounding the voyage (including Boston's 'ownership' of the pilgrims - although they actually arrested them attempting to 'escape' and sent them back home!) They eventually sailed from Holland aboard the Speedwell but changed to the Mayflower after the Speedwell was found wanting. I hope we successfully addressed these facts in the documentary, although 'facts', as we know these days, can be slippery customers! Thanks for the comments anyway Tony.

Considering the horrendous poverty of the majority of the British people at this time English poets seem to have lived lives of comfort and privilege. The narrator says that Tennyson was now poor - I think that the common man or woman would have replied that "We should be so poor". I've noticed that those who purport to despise 'materialism' themselves live in very comfortable circumstances.

After Puritan Calvinist leader, Oliver Cromwell, received the necessary funds from the Netherland bankers, with the promise of allowing the Jews back into England, he usurped the English throne aka Charles 1 by committing regicide because the king's mom was Catholic and so was his wife. Then, he proceeded to outlaw the public display of Christmas and negate the Magna Carta, which is like our Bill of Rights. Afterwards, he proceeded to slaughter Irish Catholic men, women, and children of Drogheda Ireland and the surrounding counties, totaling 1.5 million souls. He and his followers usurped their property. The remaining captives were brought to the Caribbean as indentured servants. The King's son forced them out of England, so they set sail for America. These murderous, usurping souls were called the Puritan Calvinist "Pilgrims". After the Native Americans helped them to survive their first harsh New England winter aka Thanksgiving, they slaughtered the Native Americans. When they lived in Salem Massachusetts, they conveniently believed the false allegations regarding witchcraft and many were put to death while their accusers usurped their property. Sounds familiar.... THE PILGRIMS WERE A MURDEROUS BUNCH OF ENVIOUS PEOPLE, WHO PRESENTED THEMSELVES AS LAMBS, BUT WERE REALLY WOLVES. THAT IS WHY THE GOVERNOR DISBANDED THIS EVIL CULT.

Everybody seems impressed with the Puritans. Never made sense to me. They left everywhere they were at because they didnt like the rules. They claim they made America, which is gibberish because America was already settled 12 years before them in Jamestown. And even before that, St Augustine, Americas first town ever, was settled 42 years before Jamestown, 52 years before the Pilgims, but that was not English, it was Spanish. Many ships had sailed the Chesapeake Bay to trade with Natives before Jamestown. The Puritans were very ignorant in beliefs, they even outlawed Christmas in colonys for awhile. I hear people say they started democracy. If so, it went like Do what we say, or do nothing at all. Thats not much of a democracy. I sure am glad I didnt have to meet up with them.

****** IMPORTANT ******** A-lot of Trinitarians do not know this but after the council of Nicaea any in 325 this Trinity was made mandatory and a lot of Christians were persecuted , tormented and killed for not accepting the trinity doctrine. The trinity doctrine is not of God even the trinity symbol/logo is pagan. I hear so many Trinitarian‘s say how Mohammed was wrong for killing the Christians to except Islam when the Trinitarian‘s founders we’re doing the same thing to make the Christians accept their trinity doctrine !!!!!! Look at the fruits it’s killings , persecutions and tortures . even history tells us how the Trinitarian‘s after the Nicene Creed was created they used every torturing instrument they had available. Satan was a murderer from the beginning. But a lot of you don’t care you will still follow that doctrine of devils even after the history of the evil trinity doctrine is fully well documented. Watch Pastor Gino Jennings a real man of God and repent and obey Acts 2:38 or you will end up in hell with your mother church “the Catholic Church “. I pray to God you check out everything I just told you.
