Summary[edit]
| Description | This ship is the culmination of a project begun in 2011 that had the objective to construct a replica of the original Virginia using techniques from that time as much as possible. That original ship was built in about 1607-08 not far from this spot in Popham Colony in what is today Phippsburg, Maine. This colony was a sister to the Jamestown colony begun also in 1607. This ship was originally intended to be used for local exploration but the leader of the colony, George Popham, died and funds from England dried up. The colonists arrived to late to plant crops and they were not prepared for the cold winter that followed. So after 14 months the colonists sailed back to England and the Virginia was one of the two ships they traveled in. This replica will be launched in two days on June 4th. The person on the scaffold is doing some last minute painting. The other workers are preparing to have it moved to the launch site. I don' t know if I will get here to see the official launch. Until just the last few days, it has been inside a temporary shed covered in plastic sheeting located in Bath, Maine. Bath has been famous for its ship building industry that continues today. Bath Iron Works constructs mostly naval vessels and is one of the largest employers in Maine. |
