Kieran Doherty Quote
The survivors had established their tiny settlement on the beach overlooking Gates Bay. The quarters were described as cabins thatched with palmetto fronds. Nearby stood the small enclosure they had built to hold the hogs ferried ashore from the Sea Venture wreck. Men had dug a well not far from the beach, near the site where Fort St. Catherine would be built in 1616. Because there was no salt on the island and none had been salvaged from the ships, Somers ordered a hut built near the shore where fires were kept burning beneath three or four of the ship’s kettles filled with seawater to produce salt.
