FIRMOSAN SEA TALES
Nį» 15
Poor Maggie Maidenhead;
or, Maggie the loblolly boy
FOR I am a girl whose deep in love and always will I be,
So I set sail athwart the ocean and across her pale red sea.
I took for the āTiradeā her sails so white and donned that cap so red?ex: Known to be worn by Loblolly boys of the Firmosan navy circa 130 B.A. – 050 B.A. (Year’s 870-950).,
I set sail for my love Robert for him ān to take my maidenhead.
When one night I sat a drowsing, making ready I was for sleep,
And the Surgeon he sighed and says to me, āOh I wish you was a she.ā
āYour cherry cheek and ruby lip they have to me misled-
For if you was a sweet young lass, Iād takeān your Maidenhead.ā
āDear Surgeon, friend of mine, you neednāt to complain;
A woman-born so am I, and and Maggie is my name.ā
āAnd joy to it, so it is, I have glee for me ahead,
I sail for my love Robert, for him ān to take my maidenhead.ā
But the Surgeon went to thinking, how long ān since heād been ashore.
And he set about his potions and made her draft. For-
Ahough [sic] she wouldnāt know it, he set her gently in her bed,
And Robert would not be the one, nā to take her Maidenhead.

THE MUSEUM OF the Known World (MoKW) houses the largest collection of art, technology, history, and science in the Firmosan Republic. Explore the story of human culture from its beginnings to the very present.[1]
Established in 112 B.A. / Year 888, by renowned explorer and naturalist Ser. William H.W. Packet and his wife, Edith Packet, as a “public collection of antiquities“[2] and originally known as the Packet Institution for Education and Discovery, upon Ms. Packets death, in 89 B.A. the Packet’s trust was purchased by the Firmosan government whom in 01 A.A. / Year 1000 established 09 Ser. William St. as the MoKWs permanent residence,[3] and began to slowly expand the Packets initial collection through acquisition and discovery.[4]
Each and every artifact in the MoKW, tells it’s own unique story, transposed across culture, time, history, and place. We encourage our guests to explore the MoKW at their own special pace and find the ideas and themes that connect all of these unique stories.
Ser. William H.W. Packet was an explorer, naturalist, and captain to grandest expedition of the age of sail, the Aurora Expedition. His wife, Edith Packet, was a philanthropist, writer, and often considered the first female lepidopterist, but by far their greatest legacy is that of the MoKW.Ā
The MoKW sits in the heart of Newfield’s historic downtown. During the 1000 World’s Progress Expo, the Artifacts of The Known World Exhibit debuted in this exact location. Following it’s success the building remained, and the MoKW was born.
TheĀ MoKW continues to add new objects and artifacts to its collection to this very day. The Museum of the Known World: Collection Department participates in excavations across the globe in collaboration with partners in host countries.
