Opis

The Mayflower sailed from England in 1620. Aboard were John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley. At one point during the voyage John was washed into the sea in a violent storm and nearly drowned. He was saved by a boat hook wielded by one of the crew. Elizabeth's parents and siblings would perish before the first spring in Plymouth Colony. Thirteen-year-old Elizabeth survived. She and John would later marry. Richard Dole, despite being the eldest son of William Dole and, through the system of primogeniture and in line to inherit a substantial property in the area of Bristol, England, was apprenticed to John Lowell. Mr. Lowell was a 'glover' of Bristol. In 1639, he sailed on the ship Jonathan for New England, bringing Richard Dole with him. Eventually these two lines would merge. Their descendants would gather Royal lineage from both English and French crowns. Relationship has additionally been proven to the late Princess of Wales and the current English monarchy. Daniel Dole became a missionary dedicated to bringing Christianity to the natives and saving the souls of the "heathen" of the Sandwich Islands - later known as the Hawaiian Islands. He would become the first headmaster of Punahou School. The missionaries would create the Hawaiian alphabet and print the first books in the local language. Sanford Ballard Dole was instrumental in the Hawaiian revolution and the overthrow of Queen Liliuokalani which resulted in the end of the Hawaiian monarchy. He became President of the new Hawaiian Republic and subsequently Governor of the Territory of Hawaii. James Drummond Dole became known as the Pineapple King and gave birth to a sustainable pineapple industry in the Islands through the company he founded: the Hawaiian Pineapple Company.
