Built between 1607 and 1610, James Fort was the first English settlement in America. Faced with rugged hardships only 59 of the 500 settlers survived the winter of 1609-1610. The ships you see in the painting are the Susan Constant, Godspeed, and Discovery, replicas of the ships that brought the first explorers to the New World.
