madPete Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 https://editions.covecollective.org/place/execution-dock Execution Dock Execution Dock was the site of a scaffold in Wapping, London, in the modern borough of Tower Hamlets. It was historically used to execute pirates, smugglers and mutineers. The last executions were in 1830. In London Labour and the London Poor edition: Phase 1 Of the Mud-Larks. (Volume 2): "Execution Dock to the lower part of Limehouse Hole, there are 14 stairs or landing-places, by which the mud-larks descend to the shore in order to pursue their employment. There are about as many on the opposite side of the water similarly frequented." Coordinates Latitude: 51.507217800000 Longitude: -0.127586200000 Aye... Plunder Awaits!

William Brand Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 My ancestors lived at Wapping Wall where execution docks still stands. Isabella and Richard Pace left for the Jamestown colony in 1611. They returned to England to secure more goods and to bring over a relative aboard the Royal Navy's Marmaduke in 1621. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, how I wish I could recreate my family’s footsteps - perhaps I will have more time to dedicate over the winter. Oooh, shiny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
