May 11
Three Events
1502 - Christopher Columbus leaves for his fourth and final voyage to the West Indies.
1820 - Launch of HMS Beagle the ship that took young Charles Darwin on his scientific voyage
1858 - Minnesota is admitted as the 32nd U.S. state.
Two Birthdays
1888 - Irving Berlin, American composer (d. 1989)
1959 - Martha Quinn, American television personality (Why didn't they mention MTV?)
One Holiday
Roman Empire - Feast of the Lemures (sorta like Samhain in fact the whole unsettled spirts thing made May a bad month to get married in making June a busy month for weddings. Very Interesting.)
I also have to add that Bob Marley died on my birthday.
