In the wreck, the ship had lost her four small boats, very important for doing coastal trading business as well as her salt, codfish and all her supplies and trading goods. Captain Altham lost all his precious books and most of his belongings.Nick Bunker, Making Haste from Babylon: The Mayflower Pilgrims and their New World a History, (New York: Knopf 2010), p. 337The Mayflower Quarterly, vol.

Nick Bunker, Making Haste from Babylon: The Mayflower Pilgrims and their New World a History (New York: Knopf 2010), p. 335 As Little James arrived back from Rhode Island, the weather was calm, so her master anchored the ship at the entrance to Plymouth harbor. But a gale quickly arose and the ship lost the grip of her anchors. The ship was headed toward a dangerous sand bank known as Brown’s Bank when the crew chopped through the mainmast and cut away rigging, thereby saving it.

But by this time the investors had become thoroughly frustrated by the misadventures of Little James which became quite costly to repair instead of making a good profit as was intended. At this point William Bradford decided to send the ship and its crew back to England.Nick Bunker, Making Haste from Babylon: The Mayflower Pilgrims and their New World a History (New York: Knopf 2010), p. 336-337 The wreck had been a tragedy not only for the ship but also for her captain.

The Renaissance printer Aldus Manutius adopted the symbol of the dolphin and anchor as his printer's mark. Erasmus (whose books were published by Manutius) featured the phrase in his Adagia and used it to compliment his printer: "Aldus, making haste slowly, has acquired as much gold as he has reputation, and richly deserves both." Manutius showed Erasmus a Roman silver coin, given to him by Cardinal Bembo, which bore the dolphin-and-anchor symbol on the reverse side. The adage was popular in the Renaissance era and Shakespeare alluded to it repeatedly.

Nine adult males on board did not sign the document; some had been hired as seamen only for one year and others may have been too ill to write. No women signed it, in accordance with cultural and legal custom of the times.Nathaniel Philbrick, Mayflower: A story of Courage, Community and War (New York:Viking, 2006), p. 43Nick Bunker, Making Haste from Babylon: The Mayflower Pilgrims and their New World a History (New York: Knopf 2010), p. 281 What is known today of the wording of the Mayflower Compact comes from William Bradford’s manuscript, apparently copied from the original document.

However, it was not until 24 October 1914 – seven years after the South Australian Government's purchase of the horse tram companies' assets – that electrification of the entire Adelaide-centric network was complete and horse-drawn services ceased. On the isolated Port Adelaide lines, horses continued to haul trams until 4 April 1917, when electrification was complete. Then, all the trams and the horses that hauled them, "which the Adelaide people are now making haste to forget", disappeared into history. The arrival of electric trams was the start of a new era: > How unhappy [were] the days when tired animals pulled abominably crowded > vehicles (antiquities of a forgotten civilisation) around corkscrew hills > and up long slopes to the tune of a vigorous whipping, and the sarcastic > indignation of those on board.

He did not stay within his own trade, but began dealing in cloth and other goods as an 'interloper.' (Cosgrove is close to the old Roman road known as Watling Street, and the busy town of Stony Stratford). John would have witnessed traders travelling up and down the road to and from London, and this may have influenced his career plans. Nick Bunker, in 'Making Haste from Babylon - The Mayflower Pilgrims and Their World- A New History' (Pimlico: 2011) states that one of John's brothers was a haberdasher in London. John's uncle, another John Beauchamp, was a merchant in Amsterdam who left John 2000 guilders at his death in 1615, as well as some London house contents, and the management of a further 5,000 guilders for two years.

On board Little James were two crewmen who would go on to cause a great deal of trouble – and end up in an Admiralty inquiry - a gunner named William Stephens (or Stevens) and a carpenter named Thomas Fell, both of whom knew how badly the ship needed their services. After arriving at New Plymouth and seeing the shabby state of the colony and condition of the colonists – some working and others just lazing around - the crew believed that they had been fooled. At that, Stephens and Fell led the crew to go on strike in a demand for an interim payment of cash. William Bradford managed to calm them down, but only after he offered to personally pay them himself.Nick Bunker, Making Haste from Babylon: The Mayflower Pilgrims and their New World a History (New York: Knopf 2010), p.

Bunker's first book, Making Haste From Babylon: The Mayflower Pilgrims and their World (2010) was long-listed for the Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction (now the Baillie Gifford Prize). This was followed in 2014 by An Empire on the Edge, which explored the immediate origins of the Revolutionary War centring on the Boston Tea Party and placing it in its global context in the China tea trade and the near collapse of the British East India Company in 1772. Besides winning the George Washington Prize and being a Pulitzer finalist, An Empire on the Edge also won the 2015 Fraunces Tavern Museum Book Award for the best recently released book about the period. Researched in London, Boston, Philadelphia and elsewhere Bunker's third book,Young Benjamin Franklin: The Birth of Ingenuity (2018) dealt with the first four decades of Franklin’s life and his emergence as a scientist with his electrical experiments in the 1740s.

But in the continuing ill-fortune for Little James, the cargo never reached its intended English port. Somewhere in the English Channel, almost within sight of the English coast, Little James was captured by pirates with all her cargo taken and with the valuable beaver pelts being sold cheaply for four pence each in the North African Barbary pirate bazaars of Algiers or Tunis.Nick Bunker, Making Haste from Babylon: The Mayflower Pilgrims and their New World a History, (New York: Knopf 2010), p. 349 Little James, which was built by the Adventurers to remain in New England, could have been of great assistance to the colonists in matters of trade and fishing, but seemed to have endless ill fortune (see the following for the fate of her captain) which included lack of support by the investors, a mutinous crew, a shipwreck, seizure by the Admiralty Court and creditors in England and finally capture by Barbary pirates.

Bradford wrote that he became a seaman and may have died in England or at sea, although per Johnson he may have been on the Little James when she returned to England in late 1624 as part of the Admiralty investigation into the shipwreck earlier that year.Eugene Aubrey Stratton, Plymouth Colony: Its History and People, 1620-1691 (Salt Lake City:Ancestry Publishing 1986) pp. 34-35 and 395-296Nick Bunker, Making Haste from Babylon: The Mayflower Pilgrims and their New World a History (New York: Knopf 2010), pp. 336, 337Charles Edward Banks, The English Ancestry and Homes of the Pilgrim Fathers: who came to Plymouth on the Mayflower in 1620, the Fortune in 1621, and the Anne and the Little James in 1623 (Baltimore, MD.:Genealogical Publishing Co., 2006) p. 57 John Allerton - He was hired to stay in the colony for a year to work and then return to Leiden to assist others who wished to come to America, but he died sometime in the early months of 1621.
