Godspeed and Discovery
Here on My 13, 1607, after a wintry Atlantic Crossing, the Susan Constant - Godspeed and Discovery - dropped anchor. Here the band of 103 Colonists founded Jamestown, Virginia - first permanent English Settlement of the new world.
A full size replica of the 20 ton Discovery. One of the 17th Century vessels to be seen at the Jamestown Festival.
Susan Constant - what a pleasant and improbable idea!
