You learn something every day: What, there were Puritan colonies in the tropics?


As I said, I've been reading Paul Kennedy's Rise and Fall of British Naval Mastery, in
which I learned in an aside that the Puritans had tried to start a
colony in Honduras
. I didn't know that. In checking it out I also
saw that some Puritans were the first Britishers to live in Belize, aside
from maybe a few pirates and shipjumpers.  



Puritans in bikinis? It just don't seem right.
