1755 AD
A quick note before I begin: I realize that in some pictures cars and other products and technology that would have been non-existent in the 17th and 18th centuries can be seen - unfortunately, I do not know how to use the Lot Editor, so please excuse this oversight. I try to be accurate with the general history during the time periods I cover, but again, some information might not be completely accurate to the date. Yes, I have found inspiration from SimCoug's outstanding CJ, New SorGun - simply put, one of the greatest CJs I have ever read. Finally, please click on the pictures to see them in all their glory!
1755 AD
The Saint James, an English vessel heading to the New World, is caught up in a storm and sinks. The only survivors are two families, who have the fortune of being on the only small wooden boat that escapes the treacherous storm. The Hemming and Brickson families spend two days in the ocean before tides from the storm carry them to the shores of an uncharted island. The Brickson family is one of carpenters, so they build a house for shelter and construct a small pier made up of the indigenous trees on the island. The Hemmings, farmers by trade, clear land and begin herding the indigenous sheep and cows found to be roaming around the woods near the coast. Within a year of landing on the island, the families have shelter, sustainable food, and a pier for any future ship that might sail pass the island and need to dock for supplies, while also clearing a makeshift road leading from the pier all the way north to the pasture. They name the island Desten, combining the words destiny and heaven into one word.
The first house constructed in Desten, housing the Brickson and Hemming families.
The pasture the Hemming family run, providing the two families with meat.
The docks the two families develop incase passing ships decide to stop.
