The city of Colón, formerly Aspinwall, is located in the municipality of Colón and serves as the second largest city in Panama as well as a major port. The city was founded as Aspinwall in 1850 by Americans building a railroad into the isthmus but was renamed to Colón in 1890. In Wonderful Adventures of Mrs. Seacole in Many Lands (1857), Mrs. Seacole travels by ship to distant lands through the port of Navy Bay. Navy Bay is the general term for the ports located on the island of Manzanillo, the island where the municipality of Colón is located, and Mrs. Seacole could have sailed out of the port in Colón.

Worcestershire is a county in the West Midlands of England. The area that is now Worcestershire was absorbed into the unified Kingdom of England in 927, at which time it was constituted as a county. Over the centuries the county borders have been modified, but it was not until 1844 that substantial changes were made. This was also the birthplace of Margaret Harkness.
