Jamestown Settlement Ships ~ Part Two by artisandelimage

Jamestown Settlement, Jamestown, Virginia, USA Re-creations of the three ships that brought America’s / first permanent English colonists to Virginia in 1607 are on / exhibit at Jamestown Settlement, a living-history museum / of 17th-century Virginia. / The original Susan Constant, Godspeed and Discovery set / sail from London on December 20, 1606, bound for Virginia. / The ships carried 105 passengers and 39 crew members / on the four-month transatlantic voyage. A 17th-century / source noted that a total of 71 people were aboard the / Susan Constant, 52 aboard the Godspeed and 21 aboard the / Discovery. The expedition was sponsored by the Virginia / Company of London, a business venture that had been organized to form a colony in Virginia. The fleet reached the / Virginia coast in late April and, after two weeks of inland / waterway exploration, arrived at the selected settlement site / on May 13, 1607. / At the time of the voyage, the Susan Constant was / about one year old and was leased from Dapper, Wheatley, / Colthurst and other partners. The origins of the Godspeed / and Discovery are uncertain. The Susan Constant and Godspeed returned to England in June 1607, while the Discovery remained in Virginia and was used for Chesapeake Bay and coastal exploration. / The Jamestown Settlement re-creations have been / designated “the official fleet of the Commonwealth” by the / Virginia General Assembly. While the Susan Constant and Godspeed sail periodically from Jamestown Settlement to participate in commemorative and community events and host educational programs for students, most of the time the ships can be seen at the museum. Costumed historical interpreters assist visitors in exploring the ships and learning about the 1607 voyage and 17th-century shipboard activities.

"Functionality" by sewcrafty

This boat is a work of art: ”. . . by former Herron School of Art and Design student Jeff Fearin and is designed to sit at the high water level of the pond, which is a flood relief area. “Functionality” was installed at the Pogue’s Run Trail Basin in Indianapolis in 2006 as part of a project celebrating the forgotten waterway.” For Bubble Jeopardy this image was orginally titled: “Why is this boat not in the water?” SOLVED in 17 by The Canadian Pie!
