		Amid blustery summer winds, spectators lined the manicured hedges of an Elizabethan manor lawn to watch as nine men from the delegation — most swathed in fringed buckskin tunics, turkey feather bustles and deerhide pelts — circled around a drum, pounding in unison and singing the names of the tribes.
		The couple sailed for England in 1616, but the newlywed princess became ill and died of an undetermined illness the next year.

		The Stonebridge Road ground in neighbouring Northfleet is home to Gravesend and Northfleet football club.
		[It is possible that "Vigilant Way" in Gravesend is named for her.] This idea followed on from considering such incidents as the accidental ramming of HMS Truculent by the Divina in 1950, the collision with the Nore Forts by Baalbek, and the disastrous flooding of Canvey, Foulness and the East Coast in 1953.
		In these and other situations, rescue and intelligence gathering were severely hampered by a lack of centralised command and control, and lack of detailed "picture".

		This Thomas Graves has sometimes been confused with Rear Admiral Thomas Graves of Ratcliff and Stepney, England, who settled in Charlestown, MA, and died in 1653 in a sea battle with the Dutch in the English Channel.
		Thomas Graves, the engineer was of Gravesend, County of Kent, England, signed a contract with the Massachusetts Bay Company on 10 March 1628/9, arrived in New England in July 1629, and laid out Charlestown.
		He may have been the Thomas Graves who was one of the committee to lay out the town of Woburn in 1640, and one of the first town officers there; however, the will of Rear Admiral Thomas Graves seems to indicate he and not the engineer was the one who owned land in Woburn.
