William and Ellen Craft
William and Ellen were two slaves who fled to Britain from the US in the mid 19th. Century. They wrote their story called ‘Running a Thousand Miles for Freedom’ and toured the UK lecturing on the evils of slavery.
They were known to the anti slavery organisations here and I think to William Wilberforce. I believe the Quakers might also have known them. They lived for a while in Hammersmith where there is a blue plaque on the office that stands on the site where they lived. I recently picked up a contact in the US who was trying to find out more about their time in Britain. Anyone harbouring a relative out there? Or any special knowledge?

This link leads to artifacts, teaching tips and discussion questions for this author. William and Ellen Craft's daring escape from slavery in 1848 made them famous throughout antebellum America, heroes in the eyes of abolitionists and criminals in the eyes of slavery supporters. The unusual circumstances of their flight to freedom were a major factor in their celebrity. Ellen, so light-skinned as to be nearly white, disguised herself in men's clothing and posed as a young white planter to effect her escape. Her husband, William, played the role of her slave. Together, they traveled from Georgia to Philadelphia by train and by boat, often staying in first-class accommodations and always directly under the noses of southern authorities. Americans everywhere were moved by their amazing story of boundary crossing, for the Crafts passed through not only the literal boundary that separated North from South, but also the social boundaries of race, class, and gender that divided the population of the United States.

ELLEN CRAFT
c.1826 - c.1897
"So I write these few lines merely to say that the statement is entirely unfounded, for I have never had the slightest inclination whatever of returning to bondage; and God forbid that I should ever be so false to liberty as to prefer slavery in its stead. In fact, since my escape from slavery, I have gotten much better in every respect than I could have possibly anticipated. Though, had it been to the contrary, my feelings in regard to this would have been just the same, for I had much rather starve in England, a free woman, than be a slave for the best man that ever breathed upon the American continent." Anti-Slavery Advocate , December 1852

BIOGRAPHY - CRITICISM
Many an audience became fascinated with the remarkable story of Ellen Craft as she and her husband William toured the abolitionist lecture circuit in the mid-nineteenth century. Though stories of escape told by former slaves were not uncommon to abolitionist audiences, Ellen's story proved especially intriguing since she courageously passed as both white and male in order to get herself and William to freedom in the North. Ellen Craft was born around 1826 in Clinton, Georgia. Her mother was a slave and her father her mother's owner. As William tells in the published account of their escape

The Art and Craft of William Morris: Not Just for the Rich
LONDON - It is the visual equivalent of the audience at a well-loved musical going in humming the tunes. The museum public is admiring images familiar from a thousand greeting cards or the wallpaper of countless country clubs: entwined leaves, unfurling flowers, crouched flopsy bunnies and birds pecking at strawberries. One hundred years after his death, William Morris, the Victorian designer and radical socialist, has achieved his dearest wish - that his work should be not just for the rich, but for everybody. ''I do not want art for a few, any more than education for a few or freedom for a few,'' he claimed, even though he admitted that his talents had served the ''swinish luxury of the rich.'' But the soul of William Morris lies not just in the mythical, medieval world he created, but in the merchandise he has spawned. At the end of the show is a shop containing an enormous array of products from postcards and gift wraps, through pottery mugs, tapestry kits, enameled jewelry, silk scarves and paperweights to decorating paints and hand-made rugs in the ''greenery yallery'' colors of the turn of the last century. Why? Why should William Morris designs hold such a universal appeal that suburban folk sleep between flowery sheets, business men knot Morris neckties and avant-garde fashion designer Alexander McQueen re-creates the same flower-tracery as rust stains on cloth?

http://members.aol.com/wveigele/pcraft/pcraft.htm
A book by Wm. J. Veigele, Ph.D., USNR Ret., PC 793 EMail: WVeigele@aol.com PC Patrol Craft of World War II During World War II, Germany's U-boat campaign was
strangling Great Britain by cutting off her supplies from the
United States. After Pearl Harbor, the United States joined this
Battle of the Atlantic. The Navy, desperate to halt the carnage, needed more antisubmarine
ships. Destroyers took long to build. Meanwhile the Navy built PCs. More than three hundred PCs went to war. Nearly fifty thousand men served on them. PCs were rough riders but rugged ships, and their depth charge attacks helped defeat the U-boats. Then, they crossed the Atlantic and Pacific. Many became control ships that led landing craft in invasions. During their battles, the crews sent submarines to the bottom, blasted aircraft from the skies, and sank small ships. Nevertheless, they suffered losses of ships and men. After the war, most PCs went to scrap yards. Some continued their duty in the U. S. and other Navies for decades. Now, only a few decaying skeletons remain of the PC fleet. This book tells their story. These ships are no longer "The Forgotten Fleet" This book is about the PC Patrol Craft that fought in World War II. Almost 50,000 men served on 361 of them. Even so, PCs received little acclaim. One naval historian called them "The Forgotten Fleet."
