2006 GODSPEED SAIL
Along the Eastern Seaboard
May–Aug. 2006
America's 400th Anniversary launched in May 2006 with an 80-day sail of the newly commissioned replica Godspeed, which brought a bit of American history to six major ports along the eastern seaboard.
Ports of call included Alexandria, Virginia; Baltimore, Maryland; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; New York, New York; Boston, Massachusetts; and Newport, Rhode Island.
More than 450,000 visitors joined the excitement of the "Landing Party," which featured tours of the 17th-century replica ship Godspeed, live musical performances, family entertainment, and historical and cultural displays highlighting the legacies of Jamestown and the growth of America.
If you missed Godspeed on her maiden voyage along the East Coast you can still be a part of history by visiting Godspeed at her home berth at Jamestown Settlement in Williamsburg, Virginia!
