''Arbella'' or ''Arabella''〔Davida Rubin, Kenneth Garth Huston. ''Sir Kenelm Digby, F.R.S., 1603-1665: a bibliography ...'' (1969), p. 2.〕 was the flagship of the Winthrop Fleet on which, between April 8 and June 12, 1630, Governor John Winthrop, other members of the Company (including Dr. William Gager) and Puritan emigrants transported themselves and the Charter of the Massachusetts Bay Company from England to Salem, thereby giving legal birth to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. During this adventure the ship is said to have carried three times as much alcohol as water. The charter recorded around 10,000 gallons of wine on board for the personal supply of the crew and its passengers.They had almost consumed all of the 10,000 gallons of wine on the Arbella/Arabella in six weeks time.〔McMichael, Andrew. "North and South: New England and Pilgrims." Lecture,, Bowling Green, October 9, 2014.〕 John Winthrop is reputed to have given the famous "A Model of Christian Charity" sermon aboard the ship. Also on board was the first European female poet to be published from the New World, Anne Bradstreet, and her family. The ship was at first known as ''Eagle''. Her name was changed in honor of Lady Arabella Johnson, who was a member of Winthrop's company, along with her husband, Isaac Johnson.〔Channing, Edward (1907). ''A History of the United States'', Vol. I, p. 330. New York: The Macmillan Company.〕 Lady Arabella was the daughter of Thomas Clinton, 3rd Earl of Lincoln. ==Notable passengers== *Captain John Underhill * Members of the Saltonstall family, including Sir Richard Saltonstall * Members of the Dudley family including Thomas Dudley *Anne Bradstreet *Robert Abell *Thomas Miner - from Chew Magna, Somerset 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arbella」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
