I am glad that I did not include the ship in my book about the Sheltons. A relative shared that information with me. However, I notice that 150 people did survive the sinking ship and although marooned on Beruda for nine months, built two new boats and sailed May 10, 1610. Perhaps the relative knew something about our Shelton surviving. I am not that computer savy so do not know how I would prove or disprove his information.
