"The Godspeed" Replica Stops In Onancock

The replica of one of the original ships that brought the first English settlers to Jamestown in 1607 paid a visit to Onancock Tuesday night.

The Godspeed showed up at the wharf late Tuesday afternoon.

According to one of the crew members, the Godspeed was on its way back to Jamestown from a tour of the Northern Bay including stops in Alexandria and Annapolis.


He said that they stopped in Onancock because it was "a nice place to stop". The Godspeed will leave early Wednesday morning to cross the bay and head home toward Jamestown.


The Godspeed is the middle sized ship of the three that crossed the ocean over 300 years ago. The other two are the Discovery and the Sarah Constant.
