In
the summer of 2007 a crew of modern-day explorers, historians,
naturalists and educators will endeavor to retrace Captain John
Smith's incredible 1608 expedition. Traveling in a 28-foot
reproduction of Smith's shallop, and living much as Smith and
his men did 400 years ago, the shallop and her crew will spend
121-days voyaging to the headwaters of almost every tributary of
the Chesapeake Bay. At more than 20 points along the route, the
shallop and her crew will stop for public exhibitions so that
people from all around the region can learn about this important
episode in the history of the Chesapeake.
