The John Smith shallop will arrive at the Alexandria Seaport Foundation for an evening event commemorating John Smith's exploration of the Potomac River.  The event is open to the public and admission is free.

 

As John Smith and his crew continued up the Potomac (Patawomeck) River towards present-day Alexandria, the shallop visited many Indian villages, where Smith described the varying tone of the encounters, stating, ...the like (previously hostile) incounters we found at Patowomek,  Cecocawonee and divers other places: but at Moyaones, Nacotchtant and Toags the people did their best to content us.
