Hanover Square

Prince Charles and his "consort" Camilla visited Hanover Square in lower Manhattan to dedicate a garden to the British citizens killed in the attacks in NYC on 9/11/01. One of the early archaeology efforts in NYC one heard about was the "Hanover Square" site (and the "Stadt House" site, actually Governor (?) Lovelace's Tavern, fond of cross-dressing). Even one of the "moguls" in archaeology of NYC Barry Greenhouse has a small apartment there, Hanover Square. In the American Revolution the statue of King George, II maybe ("King of Great Britain and Elector of Hanover from 1727 to 1760 (1683-1760)") was pulled down and taken to Connecticut where it was melted down into musketballs, which were extremely hard to come by, and traded through Caribbean with the Netherlanders. Some of the public at Ascot, the horserace, still call the royalty "the Germans".
