The New World

It's time to move on to the next phase of our Virginia adventure: Williamsburg, Yorktown and Jamestown. But first, let's start with a ferry ride from Scotland, Virginia across the James River to Jamestown.

And now, the river as seen from Historic Jamestowne, the site of America's first permanent English settlement.

The old church...

A recreation of the Susan Constant, as seen from Jamestowne Settlement, the living history center.

Manning one of the ship's cannons for a broadside. (Yes, the tricorn is a little anachronistic for this point in history.)
