Coles Elizabethan America: The John Dee Tower of 1583 at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Clues in the historical record and a close study of the design of the Newport Tower in Touro Park, Newport, R.I. have led me to conclude it was built to be the city-center of the first Elizabethan colony in the New World in 1583. The colonizing effort ultimately failed, but the solidly-built structure remained. The architect of the Tower, the polymath John Dee, even provided an "Owner's Manual" containing cryptic clues about how the Tower functioned, as well as a "hidden blueprint" of its dimensions. The Elizabethan State Papers reveal that in 1583, Narragansett Bay was called the Dee River, so-named this by Dee himself. It was the destination of Sir Humphrey Gilbert's expedition with 5 ships and 280 men John Dee was the legal, navigational and cartographical mastermind behind the the mastermind of the colonization effort. And it was John Dee who coined the term, "The British Empire," which later grew to be the largest empire the world has ever known.
