Reconstruction of The Virginia
While visiting Bath, Maine recently, I had the opportunity to see the volunteer effort dedicated to building a reconstruction of the 1607 Virginia. Thirteen years before the Pilgrims, Englishmen landed and established a colony identified in documents as Ft. St. George on the Kennebec River. The colonists constructed the small ship but later abandoned the colony and returned to England. History shows that the Virginia returned and successfully reached its sister colony Jamestown.
I bet you did not know that.
