On 20 December 1606, three English ships—the Discovery, the Godspeed, and the Susan Constant—embarked from Blackwall, London, on a historic voyage to establish the first permanent English settlement in America, Jamestown, Virginia.

This expedition, under the auspices of the Virginia Company, marked the dawn of a new chapter in colonial history, as the settlers faced the unknown with hopes of prosperity, expansion, and enduring legacy.

The journey symbolised both ambition and peril, as the travellers sought to carve a foothold in an uncharted land, laying the foundation for what would become a pivotal moment in the history of the Americas.
