This colony was the childhood home of Mary Prince, whose narrative was the first of a black woman's life to be published in England. It recounts the author's childhood raking salt in the Turk Islands as one of thousands of migrant workers, both slave and free, from this colony, and this colony engaged in a centuries-long conflict over the resulting revenue, which included chopping down all of the trees in those islands to prevent rainfall. To make up for its lack of natural resources, this colony was granted the revenue from a port town at the mouth of the Appomattox River, its namesake "hundred." This colony was first settled by accident when the Sea Venture foundered on its coast on its way to Jamestown, and this place was subsequently called the Somers Colony after the admiral of that expedition on behalf of the Virginia Company. An account of the wreck by William Strachey is widely thought to be a source for The Tempest. For 10 points, name this British protectorate, an island in the mid-Atlantic.
