Godspeed

Godspeed was the second largest vessel in the fleet, a typical small merchant trader whose original age and origin are unknown. Commanded by Captain Bartholomew Gosnold, with an estimated 39 passengers and 13 crew, it was recorded by John Smith as a 40-ton vessel. The voyage to Virginia lasted 144 days, including delays, island stops en route, and time exploring in Virginia before the settlers reached Jamestown on May 14, 1607. Early 17th-century treatises on naval architecture and rigging guided the design and construction of the replica, which was built in 2004 - 2006.
