Let's also remember another famous Celtic sailor, Prince Henry Sinclair, Jarl of Orkney, who explored Nova Scotia and New England in 1398.

We have a plaque down here too at Ft Morgan, on Mobile Bay, for Prince Madoc.

"The inscription on a plaque placed alongside Mobile Bay in 1953 by the Daughters of the American Revolution reads: "In memory of Prince Madog, a Welsh explorer who landed on the shores of Mobile Bay in 1170 and left behind, with the Indians, the Welsh language."
