April 14– From Drake's Great Armada (1588?) by Walter Biggs
Summary: Mostly logistics, honestly.
Commentary: Like I said, this is mostly logistics. What was on what ship, where did what supply come from, who was quartered where, etc. Which is one of those things that isn't super interesting, but worth reading once. There is a small battle near the end, and a ceremony where they shoot off a bunch of cannons to honor the queen.
We get another 5FSOB list of names for you to use in your D&D game or whatever. Before the internet and name generators that's honestly probably worth something. Mark that page and come back to it when you need one.
General called for Captain Sampson, and willed him to go to the governor of the city, to resolve him of two points. The first to know if there were any wars between Spain and England

We get a solid paragraph describing coconuts, which we've also seen in Darwin. Elliot just loves coconut descriptions.
