Voyage to Port Royal

In this episode of Historical Context, we dive into the perilous 1666 expedition of Lieutenant Colonel Robert Sandford as he sails south from the failing Cape Fear settlement in search of a "promised land" for the Lords Proprietors. From the tragic madness of the expedition's original captain to the crew's miraculous survival at the treacherous "Port Peril," Sandford’s journey is a gripping saga of high-seas adventure and high-stakes colonial diplomacy. Join us as we uncover how this desperate search for a deep-water port laid the foundation for the future of the Carolina colony, even as the settlements to the north faced imminent collapse.Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/HistoricalCPFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.historical.context/Fife and Drum byKevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3748-fife-and-drumLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
