"Voyage of the Godspeed" (1986) - Jamestown New World Museum Film

In 1985, the Godspeed, a reproduction of a 17th century 68-foot square rigger, sailed across the Atlantic from London to Virginia on a passage designed to re-create the 1606-07 voyage from England that brought colonists to Jamestown to establish the first permanent English settlement in the New World.

The Godspeed was one of the three ships, with the Susan Constant and Discovery, that eventually landed at Jamestown Island May 14, 1607.

"Voyage of the Godspeed" recounts this re-enactment of the voyage; begining with the construction of the Godspeed, a re-creation of the middle-sized of three ships that first reached Virginia. This second historic voyage is covered in its entirety - which began on April 30, 1985 in London. It took five and a half months, two crews, numerous tows and thousands of dollars before the vessel finally returned to Jamestown Oct. 22, 1985.
