The Godspeed at the South Street Seaport, July 2006

Godspeed was one of the three ships of the English East India Company that were led by Captain Christopher Newport on the 1607 voyage that resulted in the founding of the first permanent English settlement in North America, Jamestown, in the new Colony of Virginia. All the colonists she carried on that voyage were male.

The 40-ton Godspeed is estimated to have been 68 feet in length.

Replicas of the Godspeed and her sisters in the 1607 voyage, the larger Susan Constant and the smaller Discovery, are docked in the James River at Jamestown Settlement (formerly Jamestown Festival Park), adjacent to the Jamestown National Historic Site.
