	New Albion -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The extent of New Albion and the location of Drake's landing has long been debated by historians, with the most prevailing theory that he landed on coast of northern (A state in the western United States on the Pacific; the 3rd largest state; known for earthquakes) California.
		However, Drake was always uneasy with the misrepresentations in the "official" account, and in 1592, he wrote Queen Elizabeth in reference to "the certain truth concealed, as I have thought it necessary myself." and requesting that the account be rewritten accordingly.
		Our General called this country Nova Albion, and that for two causes; the one in respect of the white banks and cliffs, which lie towards the sea, and the other, because it might have some affinity with our country in name, which sometime was so called.

		During all which time, not withstanding it was the height of summer, we were continually visited with nipping cold, neither could we at any time within a fourteen day period find the air so clear as to be able to take height the sun or stars.
		"Nova Albion" was the name Drake gave to the land he claimed for Elizabeth I on the western coast of North America.

		A whole different AH could develop from this even if the Nova Albion colony flickers and dies a couple of years later (which is not an unlikely outcome, actually).
		This cuts into the Nova Albion colony's profits big time, but by now the population is nearly five-hundred and many of the residents are beginning to consider this a place to live, rather than just a "short" term job at the privateer base.
		This "Greater Nova Albion" would probably be separate from "Canada" to the east - OTL, the link between western and eastern Canada was tenuous at best (still is pretty weak) and only maintained because of the fear that the U.S. would move in if it wasn't (not an unreasonable fear, that).

	Drake Latitudes on the Coast of California in 1579
		Drake landed at his port of Nova Albion seven days after the solstice on June 17 when the solar declination (amount of drift from the equator), by Bourne's tables, was 23° 24' at noon in London, and departed on July 23 when the solar declination was 18° 00'.
		The errors of solar refraction and solar parallax for altitude correction that would apply to the time and location of Drake's Nova Albion sighting amount to only 17 seconds of arc, and while not addressed here, are too small to be considered in sighting with the relatively course instruments of the time.
		For example, for the longitude of Drake's Nova Albion landfall, for the plus or minus 91 days from the summer solstice to the fall and spring equinoxes, the error would range from plus 15 minutes to minus 13 minutes of arc.

		Over the years many controversies have came to light as to the location of Nova Albion, as eyewitness and written accounts of the voyage seem to contain many inconsistancies and are fragmented.
		Although Drake was forbidden to release the secrets of his voyage, it has been suggested that he was unable to contain himself and a series of cryptographic maps commisioned by him, leaked information as to to the whereabouts of Nova Albion.
		Nonetheless, despite massive research, the whereabouts of Nova Albion remains as elusive as the Lost City of Atlantis.

	Francis Drake and the Native People of Nova Albion
		Francis Drake and his crew were fascinated by the friendly Indians* of Nova Albion; the fascination was mutual, and contact was extensive.
		The Nova Albion passages of the World Encompassed are filled with details about the Indians, more than about all other subjects combined.
		This writer is sensitive to the reasons for this; however, because the term is used so extensively in the material quoted it is used throughout the book (and this web page) in the interest of consistency and clarity, with apologies to anyone who might feel offended.

		The Harp of New Albion is a transfixing solo piano recording, conceived and performed by world–renowned minimalist composer, the ever–innovative Terry Riley.
		His inspiration for this work came from a legendary harp, left behind in the New World in 1579, on the shores of Nova Albion, which is now called San Francisco Bay.
		A Native American medicine man is said to have found the harp and placed it on a cliff where the westerly winds played upon it and temperature and humidity changes created an ever–shifting set of tonalities.

		One of the crew had been with Drake, and recognized the area as Drake's "Nova Albion." They exited the Straits through the Narrows and began the long voyage back to England.
		The mining colony of Rio Oso Dorado will be founded within the year.At the same time, England decides that the colony at Nova Albion is now "officially" an English colony and sends off two small warships and forty troops to the area.
		This makes some of the Nova Albion colony leaders worry about having the Spanish (and, they correctly deduce, Spanish warships) just a bit over a hundred miles away, so they call a moratorium on more raids until they are more assured of their own defenses.

		A Native American medicine man is said to have found the harp and placed it on a cliff where the westerly winds played upon it and temperature and humidity changes created an ever-shifting set of tonalities.
		He says, "The idea of piano as harp influences my method of playing, as does the tuning from which the particular consonances and dissonances determine the emerging energies that flow through both instrument and performer."

	TreasureNet Treasure Hunting Forum - Re: KGC IN CALIFORNIA
		Of course, Hangman, no one believed this evidence discovered in 1882, but as we read about California losing it's greatest Drake proof of the presence of Nova Albion (Drake's Plate of Brass to being determined a phoney), I think the only thing left is the written word of Sir Francis Drake.
		One clue was written by Drake's minister on the voyage that Francis Fletcher thought Drake had unload 40 tons of silver at Nova Albion.
		Then, of course, from this information, I knew there Drake's 36 day California anchorage was and where the ellusive Portus Nova Albion was, plus his very accurate code to the location of 72 tons of silver.

	The lives and times in Duckburg - Chapter I
		Duckburg's known history starts on June 17th 1579 when Sir Francis Drake and his crew arrived on the western coast of America on board his flagship "The Golden Hind", and went ashore in a land they called Nova Albion (later known as Calisota).
		There Sir Francis Drake took possession of the land in the name of queen Elisabeth I. The construction of the very first known building in the area, Fort Drake Borough, on top of Kill Mule Hill seems to have started immediately after the landing.
		During the spring of 1579 the expedition sailed north along the American western coast until they on June 17th landed in a land they called Nova Albion (later known as Calisota).
