Susan Constant

Categories: Transport

Countries: USA

The largest of the three ships which sailed in 1606 to found the Jamestown Settlement. Captained by Christopher Newport, she carried 71 colonists including Captain John Smith. There is some thought that her name was actually an incorrect transcription of 'Sarah Constant'. Her eventual fate is unknown, and our picture shows a replica.
