| The scale model of the Aprilflower was our entry into a Thanksgiving competition at work where we had to decorate a box for a canned food drive. Our original idea was to build a model of the Mayflower, but it didn't come out looking right and when our spies uncovered evidence of a better Mayflower entry, we started looking at other options. It was then that one of us happened upon a dusty old American history book in a small used book store that had a brief chapter about the plight of the Grimpils. We decided that it was about time someone told their story and the rest is, well, history... |
