Jamestown, Va., is the site of the first permanent English settlement in America. In preparation of the historic Virginia town's 400th anniversary celebration, I created a multimedia gallery, which allows viewers to experience the Jamestown area as well as the living history museum. Also, I was able to ride and photograph aboard the Godspeed, a replica of the ship that carried the the founders of Jamestown from England. Climbing the rope ladder for a view from the 60-foot-tall "round top" on the fore mast of Godspeed during a training sail on the James River was a highlight of my coverage.
Check out the Jamestown: 1607-2007 multimedia gallery, which includes seven vignettes: the Godspeed sailing ship, blacksmiths, glass blowers, Powahatan Indian Village, 17th century cooking, historic interpreters and Historic Jamestowne.
