James Fort, Jamestown, Virginia

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.
