In June 1741, Henry Giffard took a small group of actors to present a summer season at Tunkard Street Theatre, Ipswich. Both Paget and Garrick (the latter just joined the company at age 24) were part of the company. Paget wrote "A Voyage to Ipswich" to open the plays, which includes a commemoration of Admiral Edward Vernon and his victory at Battle of Porto Bello.
