pos: Plymouth Rock is geologically classified as a Dedham Granite boulder and a glacial erratic. The two most significant primary sources on the founding of Plymouth Colony are Edward Winslow's "Mourt's Relation" and Bradford's history "Of Plymouth Plantation", and neither refers to Plymouth Rock. The rock first attracted public attention in 1741 when the residents of Plymouth began plans to build a wharf which would bury it. Before construction began, a 94-year-old elder of the church named Thomas Faunce declared that the boulder was the landing place of the "Mayflower" Pilgrims. He asked to be brought to the rock to say a farewell.

All three species are grown as ornamental plants in rockeries, where they require moist, acidic soil. A hybrid between "E. repens" and "E. asiatica", "Epigaea × intertexta" has also been developed for garden planting.

The wharf was built but the rock left intact, the top portion protruding from the dirt so as to be visible to curious visitors.

Her name "Soleil-Royal", honouring the French crown and usually reserved for the largest units of the Navy, testifies of the change of focus from large three-deckers onto strong two-deckers.

Welsh and English militia began to arrive in large numbers (although poorly armed), but the Spanish fleet was still hopelessly dispersed.

Prison hulks were also convenient for holding civilian prisoners, commencing in Britain in 1776 when the American Revolution prevented the sending of convicts to North America.
