Day 226
I started the day with a few preventative maintenance
tasks while Moni went to the local farmers market with Nancy from “California
Lady”. We met Kevin and Jill from “Chasing
80 and Mike and Nancy from “California
Lady" and walked into town for lunch.
Brunswick Georgia is known as the Land of Five Flags, the
British gave the town its name from Braunsweig, Germany, the ancestral home of
King George III: however, five nations
have claimed this area of Georgia as their own.
First, explorer Hernando de Soto raised the Spanish flag in 1540,
followed by Frenchman Jean Ribault in 1562, who sought to establish a haven for
French Huguenots. In 1565, the Spanish
expelled the French and ruled again until Gen. James Oglethorpe established
Fort Frederica on St. Simons Island in 1736.
The British flag flew until the Revolutionary War. The American flag was lowered during the Civil
War, replaced by the stars and bars of the Confederate flag until 1865, when
the United States flag was raised one again.
