EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts the legendary voyage of Prince Madoc ab Owain Gwynedd of Wales, believed to have taken place in the late 12th century. According to medieval texts and a Cherokee tale, Prince Madoc and his fleet of ships, numbering around 200, set sail from Wales and landed at Mobile Bay in present-day Alabama, USA. The exact date of this event is estimated to be around 1170. The legend of Madoc's voyage has intrigued historians and researchers for centuries. Some believe that the Prince and his followers may have established a colony in America before the more famous voyages of Christopher Columbus and other European explorers. The existence of this colony, known as the "Lost Colony of Wales," remains a subject of ongoing debate among historians and folklorists. The image portrays Prince Madoc and his men disembarking from their boats, ready to explore their newfound land. They are shown wearing typical medieval attire, with shields and weapons at the ready. The boats in the background suggest the scale of the expedition, which would have required significant resources and planning. The legend of Madoc's voyage is an intriguing chapter in the history of both Wales and America. While the veracity of the tale remains a matter of debate, it continues to capture the imagination of people on both sides of the Atlantic. This image provides a vivid visual representation of the excitement and adventure that must have accompanied such a journey, as the intrepid explorers set out to discover new lands and establish new communities in a far-off land.
