Deletions of statements about history lacking references
[edit]The statement about Mayflower was deleted. It sailed from Southampton. Conceivably some of the pilgrims who came from close to Leigh boarded there. A lot of information has been collected about the Pilgrim Fathers. Searching that might add weight to restoring the deletion.
The statement about warding off threats was deleted. Earlier comment about pirates and French does not need repeating. Maybe searching naval history literature dealing with Napoleonic wars might warrant restoring mention. As regards Dutch [1] states "many felt that the Dutch would strike elsewhere along the coast and the bulk of the active English ships were based elsewhere. As the Dutch approached, only three ships guarded the entrance to the Medway and 30 sloops stood by to tow the unmanned English ships further upstream if necessary." Does not seem to imply ships may have been at Leigh. But burden is on protagonist of deleted statement to provide verification if it is to be restored. Michael P.
