This article reminds me of our Discalced Carmelite nuns, who established the first monastery at Port Tobacco, Maryland. Mother Clare Joseph and her companions were such hardy, determined souls, they deserve to be better known. Thanks so much for bringing this 1634 experience to the fore. God reward you!
Such a significant but little known site in the landscape of American Catholicism. Thank you for bringing it again to the fore.
My ancestor Thomas Price came to America on that voyage. He is our first known ancestor to arrive here.
