"We Randells have been sailors as far back as our records go. They go far back. We came out of
Bridport in Dorsetshire, England. A Randell sailed with Sir Francis Drake and fought against
the Spanish Armada under him. A Randell sailed with Frobisher and Grenville and Lord Nelson. We
sailed before that. We've been sailing ever since. Our family records are clear for over five
hundred years, and in every generation there has been a Randell who was a sea-captain. It was
my great-great-grandfather, Captain John Randell, a sailing master in the British Navy, who
came to the New World in 1715 when the British took Newfoundland from the French. He liked the
place. He settled and stayed. But still we followed the sea. I was born January 1st, 1879, at
Ship Cove, Trinity Bight, Newfoundland. The name of the place is Port Rexton now."
