PROLOGUE
Deliverance From An Angry Sea is an historical account brought to life with fictionalized dialogue of the travails of Antony Thacher, an ancestor on my wife’s side of the family, whose unrelenting pursuit of religious freedom challenged his strength of will to flee England in the Great Puritan Migration of 1635, sail the seas through one of New England’s most devastating hurricanes, fight for his life against monstrous waves pounding his vessel to pieces, and live to describe the harrowing experience. The story of Antony Thacher’s decisions to pursue religious freedom in a new land, his deliverance in a fight for survival and what he made of the life afforded him following the shipwreck tragedy takes us back to the year 1635 in Salisbury, England.
