Sister Ships:  Ark and Dove
 
From the documented list of the adventurers on the Ark and Dove and those who were early identified with the settlement to the Colony of Maryland in America.
 
Ship: Ark and Dove
25 March 1634
James Hockley (#56)              
Transported
Gravesend, England then Cowes, Isle of Wight to St. Clement's Island, Maryland
 
Because of persecution by the Church of England, two vessels, financed by Caesilius Calvert, Second Lord Baltimore transported over 100 (perhaps over 300) "adventurers", many of whom were Roman Catholic, to the Colony of Maryland in America.

Richard Lowe, was Master of the Ark. Captain Winter commanded the Dove. The ship Ark, was of about 350 ton burden and the pinnace Dove of about 40 ton burden.

An account of the landing of the Ark and the Dove follows:

"It was March 25, 1634, the initial day of Spring and the first day of the Julian Calendar, as well as the Feast of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin, all of which were propitious for joyous and solemn celebration and a memorial day for each Adventurer, who had survived the voyage of 123 days or slightly over four months from the sailing from Cowes to their destination. They selected the larger of three islands lying near the shore of the Potomac not too far distant from the mainland to disembark. To the island they gave the name of St. Clement after the fourth Bishop of Rome. Father White directed several of his retainers to construct a huge cross from one fo the native trees. It was hastily hewn together and, on that virgin day of Spring in 1634, led by Father White who was assisted by Father Altham, all the Roman Catholics, and not a few of the Anglicans, gathered for the first sacrifice of the Roman Mass ever to have been celebrated in one of the Original Thirteen English Colonies."

Subject: Who are these HOCKLEY's?
 
I found an old record I made some years ago of the arrival of 3  HOCKLEYs into my home state  of Victoria, Australia. I don't recognize any of them. It would be interesting to know where they fit in - who came before and who came after.
