第四章 和平(一七一三~一七一五年)(第8/10页)

一月一日当天,或是在那天前后,沃克一家瞠目结舌地看着詹宁斯的私掠船队驶进港口,货舱塞满抢来的西班牙银币。[71]老托马斯·沃克望着拿骚港阵容越发壮大的战舰,首次明白新时代已经开始了。

[8] 这里推想自一七○六年约翰·葛雷福提供的小岛状况证词,引自Michael Craton,A History of the Bahamas,London:Collins,1962,第93~95页。当时的情况大概与一七一三年类似。岛上在一七○六年后可能的进展,被随后的法国攻击摧毁。这个假设的进一步证明是,岛上一直到一七一八年,依旧状况不佳,见Samuel Buck in CO23/1:Colonial Office Records:Bahamas Correspondence,1717-1725,National Archives,Kew,UK.,No. 17及随后章节。

[13] 这栋市镇屋(一七一三年建成)今日依旧屹立不摇,周围是摩天大楼,人们熟悉的名字是老州议会大厦(Old State House)。国王街今日的名字是州议会街(State Street)。长码头曾经穿越的海埔地,已被填平为波士顿滨水区。
