Peter Carder, one of Francis Drake’s sailors during his famous voyage around the world (1577–80), was born in Saint Verian, Cornwall. Carder’s travel account containing his vicissitudes in South America was published in Hakluytus Posthumus, or Purchas His Pilgrimes (London, 1625), and has apparently been accepted at face value ever since. The purpose of this article is to conduct a brief analysis of major inconsistencies and contradictions found in his narrative, drawing on supplemental factual and ethnographic data. New light will be cast on this Elizabethan seaman who seems to have exaggerated his story to make it more heroic. There is, however, another possibility: Carder’s narrative may have been ‘edited’ by Samuel Purchas to meet the expectations of his adventure-hungry readership.1 (Fig. 1)
彼得·卡德出生于康沃尔郡的圣维里安,他是弗朗西斯·德雷克著名环球航行中的一名水手(1577-80)。卡德在南美洲的旅行记录包含了他的兴衰起伏,这一记录发表在1625年伦敦出版的《Hakluytus Posthumus》或《Purchas his pilmes》一书中,从那以后,人们就从表面上接受了它。本文的目的是利用补充的事实和民族志数据,对他的叙述中发现的主要不一致和矛盾进行简要分析。这个伊丽莎白时代的水手似乎夸大了他的故事,使它更加英雄化,新的光芒将被投射到他身上。然而,还有另一种可能性:卡德的叙述可能被塞缪尔·普切斯“编辑”过,以满足渴望冒险的读者的期望(图1)

The devastation caused by the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 signalled a chilling new departure in warfare. The threat of total destruction became the overriding feature of the Cold War, with possession of the latest in nuclear weapons technology defining the World’s dominant powers. In order to retain some vestige of world power status Britain strove to possess its own independent nuclear deterrent. Many of the resulting implications, from the economic and strategic consequences to the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, have been subject of historical study already. Some very good works tracing the history of the nuclear deterrent have also been produced, with Nailor’s detailed official history of the Polaris project and the collection of essays by those involved in the project’s implementation in Moore’s The Impact of Polaris, providing just two examples. 4 One area that is rarely considered, however, is the impact of the decision to ‘go nuclear’ on the state-controlled, royal dockyards.
