Re this vist of Prince Henry. I have no knowlwdge of this voyage other than what
I have read over the years in books magazines and newspapers. My gut feeling is
that it happened. But I don't think it was such a big deal. I think others were
there before him. Principally the Norse or Vikings. If you are going to suspend
belief until someone comes up with a goatskin with the details written on and
notorised, I think you will wait a long time. I hope the Prince made the trip,
but we may never know. Enjoy the celebrations. If I can get the time and the
fare together and such events coincide I may get over the big pond and attend ....William.
