"Best ship out of the three! They allow you to go under and explore."

"There are three ships the settlers came over. Only 2 were there when we recently visited. It is part of the Jamestown Settlement museum. The museum and the living museum which includes these ships are all worth visiting and are part of the same place. There is also a replica of the Jamestown fort and the Powhatan Indian village. The staff that is in period garb is quite good. I have sailed my whole life and they know what they were talking about regarding the ships. I therefore assume they also were accurate when describing the life the people lived in the 1600s."

"Part of the Jamestown Settlement Museum. It is amazing how small the ships were that brought the Settlers over. The staff (in period garb) are very knowledgeable about the ships and the life at the time."

"This is actually a review of the replica ship Godspeed of the Jamestown fleet, not sure where she is sailing at the time I'm writing this. These pictures are of her visit to South Street Seaport in New York City, June - July of 2006 not long after she was built. A beautiful vessel, with a well-trained crew at the time. I applaud all the replica and museum efforts at reclaiming the history of how Europeans came to this continent. Now to fill in all the darker side of that history, it needs a full telling as well, the plight of the First Nations folk here before Europeans and that of the Africans brought here in chains..."

"Excellent museum. You can enter each of the three vessels. At Susan Constant you can enter the lower decks and check all the cannons and make the experience of how to live in those days on a British vessel. The smallest vessel is the Discovery. The Godspeed is the third in the row."
