Shallop

 04 Mar 23:

A shallop similar to the ones used for the first landing of the Virginia COmpany, at what is now moder day Cape Henry. The crew planted a cross, said prayers and then were chased off by the locals. One killed, one wounded. 


The main ships, SUSAN CONSTANT, GODSPEED and DELIVERANCE proceeded through Hampton Roads and up into the Nansemond River, now the James River. They were in search of an anchorage out of sight of Spanish ships and chose Jamestown Island. Turned out to not bee the greatest spot.
