The journey that changed the world.
Four hundred years ago, on 19th December 1606, one hundred and five men and boys set sail from London, and then Kent, on three ships: the ‘Susan Constant’, ‘Godspeed’ and ‘Discovery’. Eighteen weeks later they landed at Cape Henry, where after two weeks and dreadful privations, they founded Jamestown, the first capital of Virginia, the earliest permanent English colony in America.
