Hardback. Etat : Good. The English had long dreamed of colonizing America, especially after Sir Francis Drake brought home Spanish treasure and dramatic tales from his raids in the Caribbean. Ambitions of finding gold and planting a New World colony seemed within reach when, in 1606, Thomas Smythe extended overseas trade with the launch of the Virginia Company. But from the beginning the American enterprise was a disaster. Within two years, warfare with Indians and dissent among the settlers threatened to destroy Smythe's Jamestown just as it had Raleigh's Roanoke a generation earlier. To rescue the doomed colonists and restore order, the company chose a new leader, Thomas Gates. Nine ships left Plymouth in the summer of 1609-the largest fleet England had ever assembled-and sailed into the teeth of a storm so violent that it beat all light from Heaven. The inspiration for Shakespeare's The Tempest, the hurricane separated the flagship from the fleet, driving it onto reefs off the coast of Bermuda-a lucky shipwreck (all hands survived) that proved to be the turning point in the colony's fortune.

Hardcover. Etat : Fair. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. This is an ex-library book with the usual markings. Apart from the library markings, the book is in very good condition, with a slight amount of shelf wear. The Shipwreck That Saved Jamestown: The Sea Venture Castaways and the Fate of America by Lorri Glover and Daniel Blake Smith. First edition, first printing. In 1609 the Sea Venture, flagship of a relief fleet bound for the struggling Jamestown colony, was driven onto the reefs of Bermuda by a hurricane. Glover and Smith follow the castaways, among them Sir Thomas Gates, Sir George Somers, William Strachey, and John Rolfe, through ten months of survival, mutiny, and shipbuilding on the island, and their arrival at a Jamestown devastated by the "starving time." The book shows how their survival rescued England's first permanent American colony, and how Strachey's account of the wreck helped inspire Shakespeare's The Tempest. A valuable source for research on the Virginia Company, colonial Virginia, Bermuda, English Atlantic expansion, and early American history. With notes. N° de réf. du vendeur OCT26013
