520 1 $a"Drawing on long-neglected documents and the insights of two respected historians, The Shipwreck That Saved Jamestown offers a fresh perspective to reveal that the colony's ultimate success depended upon a diverse array of adventurous settlers, mariners, and entrepreneurs. At the book's center is the story of 150 passengers aboard the Sea Venture, the ship dispatched in 1609 by London investors to rescue the starving settlers. The Sea Venture collided with a ferocious hurricane in the western Atlantic and was shipwrecked off the coast of Bermuda, but this proved to be only the beginning of a remarkable journey of fear and danger, loss and recovery. Seduced by the island's unexpected pleasures for almost a year, the castaways were riven by mutinies when ordered to continue on to Virginia. Ultimately they built boats with their own hands and arrived safely in Jamestown to face the daunting task of rebuilding America's first permanent colony."--BOOK JACKET.
