Dear Sirs, I come by the present, not only to felicite you for the interest which you have for the History as well as for the excelente idea of your site. But I must to tell you that, in September of 1993, the professor Siemonsen from the University of helsinquia (Finland) analised the tower of Newport by the hightest tecnologies system of rays of carbonne. And the result of this analise shows that its construction dates between 1500 & 1550. And he admited that the tower was not vikink(viking), as they tought, but probably build by the portugueses templaries indeed. And the reason why it seams so old is because the navigator were limited by materials and tecnics they found in that place. No far from there it  was also found a rock "The Dighton Rock" with the LATIN inscription of the portuguese Navigator: « "MIGUEL CORTEREAL V DEI HIC DUX IND A D"  which means :Miguel Corte Real voluntate Dei Rei hic dux indarium anno Domini 1511" »( Prof. Edmund Burk Delabarre from the Brown University )There is also two similar towers like that at Tomar (a portuguese Templar city).
Thank you and ones more my congratulations.
