William Jones – On board the Mimosa
Over a hundred and fifty years ago a brave band of Welsh men, women and children sailed on the Mimosa to the other side of the world in search of a better life.
In this enlightening show pupils will join William Jones, one of the brave Welshmen, on his epic journey from Bala to Patagonia.
​
They will be transported back in time to the hardship of 1865 Wales; learn about Michael D. Jones’s epic plans to create a new Welsh colony; experience the fun and tragedy on board the Mimosa followed by the reality that greeted them on the shores of Patagonia.
