Travel Tracer:
The story started in the Place of Execution (or Old Bailey). Then it took place in the Newgate Prison, a hold and a cell. Then it took place in the Pool of London where they boarded the ship Good Intention and set sail across the Atlantic. After being on the ocean they reached New York. They anchored the boat in the New York Dock. Moly,the main character, then goes to the Bell's house as a slave. Since the family is Jewish they go to the synagogue. Rachel needs to use the bathroom so Moly takes her home and then to the market.
New gate Prison Hold- It smelled of unwashed bodies and clothes, of rotting straw and waste, of bad liquor, of bad teeth , of the seeping miasma of jail fever and of death. The Hold was an underground dungeon for prisoners who had no money to pay for a proper cell.The floor was covered with dead insects instead of straw.
Synagogue- A brand new brick building on Mill Street. Has a women's gallery that wraps around 3 sides of the building. It was like a raised balcony. There were benches against the wall and a railing made of latticework. There is an ark that contains the Torah Scrolls.
