=== Raid on Pemaquid (1632) === A village and [[palisade]] fort were constructed. In 1632, Pemaquid was raided and [[plunder]]ed by the [[pirate]] [[Dixie Bull]]. The [[Great Colonial Hurricane of 1635|Great Colonial Hurricane]] on August 15, 1635 sank the [[galleon]] [[Angel Gabriel (ship)|''Angel Gabriel'']] while it was anchored off the settlement, drowning some crew and passengers. In 1664, the [[Duke of York]] (the future [[James II of England|King James II]]) claimed Pemaquid was within his patent, which also included [[Sagadahoc County, Maine|Sagadahoc]] and recently acquired [[New Amsterdam]]. To help [[anglicize]] the latter into [[New York City]], Governor [[Edmund Andros|Sir Edmund Andros]] had some of its [[Dutch people|Dutch]] inhabitants transported to Pemaquid, now called Jamestown for its royal owner. By 1665, the village had approximately 30 houses.<ref name="Coolidge"/>
