I  recently read the book "A Tale of Two Colonies" by Prof.Virginia 
Bernhard,  1951. On page 107 she describes Capt. Bartholomew Gosnold's 1602 
Expediton to  New England, (and Cape Town area). She writes that a crew member at a 
 dangerous "SHOAL" in the area was impressed how it affected another crew  
member named "TUCKER". So... they named the shoal "Tucker's Terror" I am of  
course very aware of Daniel Tucker and William Tucker's Jamestown and 
Bermuda  history. I always thought they were the first Tuckers to the 
colony/North  America. I find substantiations of Tucker's Terror but never enough to  
identify this Tucker. Can any of you Tucker Experts help me out?
Thanks  Mike Massey
