Her cargo was around twenty thousand coconuts. The handful of settlers along the lake salvaged them and, by most accounts, planted them - partly in hope of a coconut trade, partly because there was not much else to do with twenty thousand coconuts. The palms took. Within a generation the island was covered in them, and the name that stuck was Palm Beach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlmost every famous place is named for a founder, a saint, or a feature that was already there. This one is named for an accident - a ship that missed, a cargo that sprouted, and a few people who decided to plant rather than sweep up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrinted on a three-inch faceted crystal glass round, white-backed so the fine engraving holds its detail and the green frond reads against tree lights. The faceted edge catches light from any angle. Arrives boxed - your choice of white or gold gift box at checkout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the Palm Beach family, the local-history reader, anyone who likes a town that admits it got started by luck.
