The purpose of this blog is simple, it aims to document my journey to knowing, and perhaps understanding, the English colony of Tangier, 1661-1684.

I am not an historian. I am an amateur. Much of the work on these pages will be focus on the archival material that survives to tell the story of the colony.

Thank you for stopping by and if you have any queries, thoughts or comments then please do leave them and I’ll get back to you soon.

Regards,

Steve Garnett
