In the spring of 1607, after several treacherous months at sea, three ships landed on the shores of Virginia and established Jamestown, one of the first permanent English settlements in America.

In honor of its 400th anniversary, the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation commissioned the building of the latest replica of the Godspeed. Now, join host Steve Thomas (This Old House) as he journeys, step-by-step, through the 18-month process, from the laying of the keel to the ship s first days at sea. Learn the impressive history behind the Godspeed and the fate of its brave passengers, and marvel at the skill and precision of the replica s builders, who ensured the accuracy of the reproduction down to the cotton caulking hammered between the ship s original planks.
