Join Eric Speth, Captain of Jamestown Settlement's Susan Constant, Godspeed, and Discovery, to learn about the Susan Constant. The original Susan Constant, Godspeed, and Discovery sailed from London in December 1606 arriving at the mouth of Chesapeake Bay almost four and one-half months later. They established the first permanent English settlement in the New World in Jamestown, Virginia. Historically accurate and fully operable re-creations of Susan Constant, Godspeed, and Discovery serve as exhibits at Jamestown Settlement Museum in Williamsburg, Virginia. The ships periodically sail and host maritime outreach educational programs for students. This lecture will describe the research, design, and construction of Susan Constant and summarize its current restoration at the Henry B. du Pont Preservation Shipyard here at Mystic Seaport Museum. Captain Speth will also be available for questions in the Henry B. du Pont Preservation Shipyard from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.
This program is included in Museum admission. Registration is recommended for the lecture.
