Neat !!!
That’s it! It is out of control. We can’t win...we must withdraw from Virginia!
Thanks for the post Blam.
Jamestown is of high interest to my family.
A cousin in Tennesee actually has our family bible brought to the Jamestown Colony 400 years ago aboard the Godspeed. In the 50 or 60 blank pages in the back is a family history that was actually kept up-to-date until the late 1890s when some idiot family member decided the book was too valuable to keep writing in.
Always interested in Jamestown posts.

Great find! I remember years ago reading that a metal breast plate was found near Jamestown. We lived in Yorktown Va. in ‘59 and ‘60 and I found all kinds of artifacts while digging in a flower bed, pieces of pottery and broken stems of those clay pipes they smoked at the pub. I also found the remains of a flintlock pistol and pieces of cannonballs while climbing around on the steep banks of the York River. It was a fabulous place but I’ll bet it is so changed(built up) now that I would be sad.
I worked one summer as an interpreter on board both the Godspeed and Susan Constant (had to learn every line and every position on board each ship). We sailed them up and down the James and into Hampton Roads. My Bro-in-Law and his two sons did the same thing a few years later. Jamestown is in my family history too. One of the first graves positively identified belongs to an ancestor. We are only an hour or so from there
