The creation myth of the US begins with the puritans of the
Mayflower who went on to build the most powerful nation on earth.
This is the story of the passengers aboard its sister ship, the
Seaflower, who in 1630 founded a rival colony on an isolated
Caribbean island called Providence. Their crops failed, slaves
revolted, and as crisis loomed the settlers turned to piracy. After
the colony was wiped out by the Spanish Providence was forgotten in
England, but the drama was re-played by those who settled the
island 100 years later, now providing a fascinating microcosm of
the Atlantic story.
