On this day in 1565, Mary Queen of Scots married her cousin, Henry Stuart. They had a child who would become King James the 6th of Scotland. Cousins marrying didn’t seem to affect the child, although King James was often seen sitting on his porch playing his banjo.
On this day in 1715, ten Spanish galleons, all filled with treasure, sank in a hurricane off Florida. They probably tried to outrun the hurricane but these were big, heavy, slow moving ships. I mean, they didn’t get more than ten miles to the galleon.
On this day 1751, in Norfolk, England, the 1st international world title prize fight took place. Jack Stack of England beat the challenger M Petit of France. The reason M.

On this day in 1956, Jacques Cousteau’s ship, the Calypso, set a new record by anchoring in 24,606 feet of ocean, or as Jacques Cousteau himself explained, “Zee anchor ees a verry, verry longue way from zee sheep, as she seets on zee buttom of zee ocean, surrounded by sousands of angrry feesh”
On this day in 1981, Prince Charles of England married Lady Diana Spencer. Now, some say it’s not right to make fun of those who are no longer on this planet. Plus, it’s also not fun to make fun of Princess Diana. The wedding at Westminster Abbey was right out of a fairy tale. We just didn’t know at the time it was being written by the Brothers Grimm.
If your birthday is July 29th, you share it with Clara Bow, the silent film star who was born on this day in 1905. Clara was known as “The It Girl”, for starring in the film “It”, where a character is asked what ‘it’ really is and is told “…that strange magnetism which attracts both sexes”.
