In December 1606, three ships, the Susan Constant, the Godspeed, and the Discovery, sailed from London to the New World. Among the 144 colonists and crew, there was Captain John Smith (1579-1631), of Pocahontas fame. In May 1607, the settlers established Jamestown, the first permanent English colony in America. Here is his map of the area.
