John Smith Voyage Photos - A 400th Anniversary Signature Event

A crew of 12 modern explorers set off in May 2007 aboard a replica of John Smith’s 28-foot open boat, or “shallop,” on a 121-day voyage to retrace the 1608 expedition. Propelling themselves by oar and sail alone, the 2007 voyage will follow Smith’s route to every corner of the Chesapeake. In late June and early July, the shallop will be on display at several locations in the Washington, DC area.
