I am particularly proud of the overview for this project because the John Winthrop journal entries about the "Arbella" are fascinating.

We know these two daughters were attended by a maid, because it was reported the maid --
"fell down at the grating by the cook room, but the carpenter's man, who occasioned her fall unwittingly, caught hold of her with incredible nimbleness, and saved her; otherwise she had fallen into the hold."
At least this was the excuse they gave to account for the close proximity.
