Context paragraphs:
Mermaid Tavern: The Mermaid Tavern was a tavern on Cheapside in London during the Elizabethan era, located east of St. Paul's Cathedral on the corner of Friday Street and Bread Street.  It was the site of the so-called "Fraternity of Sireniacal Gentlemen", a drinking club that met on the first Friday of every month that included some of the Elizabethan era's leading literary figures, among them Ben Jonson, John Donne, John Fletcher and Francis Beaumont, Thomas Coryat, John Selden, Robert Bruce Cotton, Richard Carew, Richard Martin, and William Strachey.  A popular tradition has grown up that the group included William Shakespeare, although most scholars think that was improbable.

Thomas J. King Jr.: Professor Thomas J. King Jr. (July 25, 1925 – 1994) was an educator, and an early user of word processing and sequence analysis to compare available early versions of William Shakespeare's plays for identification of variant texts and their analysis.  Dr. King's historical work also researched original prompt copies of Elizabethan Era and Jacobean Era plays contemporary to Shakespeare, along with their marginalia, in order to identify stage directions and infer physical staging of Shakespeare's plays at the Globe and other London venues, as well as at provincial halls and inns where Elizabethan troupes performed on tour.  In his extensive studies, Prof. King created databases of every Shakespeare play and other extant Elizabethan contemporary playhouse documents, by scene and character, to determine number of lines, and therefore the roles that could be doubled with sufficient time between for costume change, thus enabling him to determine the size of a working Elizabethan theater company.

Auguste (ship): Auguste was a full rigged sailing ship which sank at Aspy Bay, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia in 1761 while carrying exiles from the fall of New France.  "Auguste" was a former French privateer ship which had been captured by the British and converted to a merchant ship.  In September 1761, she was hired by the British government to transport French exiles and prisoners of war from Montreal to France.  For the voyage, she was under the command of Joseph Knowles, an English sea captain.  The ship was unarmed and carried 121 passengers and crew.  Almost immediately upon clearing the mouth of the St. Lawrence on October 28, she encountered a week of contrary winds followed by a nor'west gale and heavy seas which badly damaged the ship.  Leaking heavily with an exhausted crew and damaged rigging, the captain sought a sheltered harbour in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.  However Knowles was unable to find a safe refuge as "Auguste" carried only charts of the French coast.  The ship struck land on the northeastern side of Cape Breton Island near an inlet known as Aspy Bay.  Only seven of the 121 made it to shore alive.  These included the captain, the merchant Luc de la Corne, two soldiers, two servants, and one discharged soldier.

Golden Hind: Golden Hind was an English galleon best known for her privateering circumnavigation of the globe between 1577 and 1580, captained by Sir Francis Drake.  She was originally known as "Pelican", but was renamed by Drake mid-voyage in 1578, in honour of his patron, Sir Christopher Hatton, whose crest was a golden 'hind' (a female red deer).  Hatton was one of the principal sponsors of Drake's world voyage.  There is one full-size replica in existence in London, on the south bank of the Thames.

John Bush (admiral of Siam): Admiral Sir John Bush, KCWE, commonly known as Captain Bush and sometimes by his Thai title Phraya Wisuth Sakoradith (Thai: พระยาวิสูตรสาครดิฐ , 4 August 1819 – (1905--)3 1905 ), was an English sea captain who served under the Siamese government during the reigns of Kings Mongkut and Chulalongkorn.  He served as Bangkok's Harbour Master, captained royal vessels and managed the Bangkok Dock Company.  Soi Charoen Krung 30, the street where he used to live, is also known as Soi Captain Bush after him.

Francis Drake: Vice Admiral Sir Francis Drake (  1540  – 28 January 1596) was an English sea captain and privateer of the Elizabethan era.  Drake carried out the second circumnavigation of the world in a single expedition, from 1577 to 1580, and was the first to complete the voyage as captain while leading the expedition throughout the entire circumnavigation.  With his incursion into the Pacific Ocean, he claimed what is now California for the English and inaugurated an era of conflict with the Spanish on the western coast of the Americas, an area that had previously been largely unexplored by western shipping.
