VIRGINIA - First English Built Ship in the New World

19 Feb 24:

The pinnace VIRGINIA was the first ocean-going English ship built in the Americas at the Popham Colony, and she started a 400-year legacy of shipbuilding in the lower Kennebec River near modern day Bath Maine. Drawing by Sam Manning.

She's a good looking ship, and we hope to find more information on boats like her tender and the native canoes, most likely bark canoes.
