Sea Venture by Kieran Doherty is subtitled Shipwreck, Survival and The Salvation of the First English Colony in the New World. The author brings to life the remarkable story of the ship that rescued the struggling Jamestown settlement in 1610. When the Sea Venture left England, it was the flagship in a fleet of 9 bound for Jamestown. Aboard were desperately needed supplies. But, after 4 weeks at sail, a hurricane hit leaving one ship on the bottom of the ocean and the rest scattered with the Sea Venture shipwrecked at the Bahama Islands. It would take 10 more months before the Sea Ventures passengers and cargo reached their destination. Once arrived, they found not a thriving colony but one decimated by hunger and illness.
This is a story of strife and triumph, and above all, endurance.
