In the year 1669, the entire village of Brunswick, England, slipped into the sea. Yet not a single inhabitant was drowned. All the residents were attending a funeral in a neighboring village at the time. Many strange tales are told of the sea, but one of the most unusual is the foundling who floated ashore from a foundered ship. The infant was discovered in a box on a crude raft as it was washed onto the beach at Provincetown, Massachusetts. He was the only survivor of a ship that sank in a storm. The child was adopted and given the name George Soper. He never learned his true name, the nationality of his parents, or even the name of the ship. Ripley's Believe It or Not!
