This is a picture of the colonists' journey to North America. The green line is the path they took to get there and the red one is a path some of them used to sail back to England. This picture is pretty accurate because I found off of the Jamestown website. These journeys were very important because these are the people that that found the Virginia territory, and if it wasn't for them North America wouldn't be here. The message from this picture is that the colonsits went through a lot of hard times, but they got through them and established the first known settlement in north america. Also it is also telling us that the englishmen had to sail around a lot of obstacles to get to north america, and they also must of had an improved compas in order to find the land.
All of that sailing has got to add up, between all the traveling to and from Jamestown with supplies. That is quite a trek, as the map shows, and I bet that cost Gosnold and the Virginia company quite a bit, but I guess it paid off.
ReplyDeleteyou did a very nice job describing your picture.
ReplyDeleteYea i totally agree with you Josiah, i bet that the trips back and forth cost the Virginia Company a lot of money, but if it wasn't for the supply ships, the men would have all starved and there wouldn't be a new world called the USA, and thank you billy i liked your picture a lot too!
