Harmony at Godspeed Sail June 17, 2006
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
America's 400th Anniversary launches with an 80-day sail of the newly commissioned replica Godspeed, bringing a bit of American history to six major ports along the eastern seaboard.
Godspeed, one of the three original ships that in 1607 brought America's first permanent English colonists to Jamestown, our nation's birthplace, will serve as a floating museum for families, students and tens of thousands of visitors. We invite you to come and explore a sampling of 17th -century America ... 21st century style!
Join in the excitement of the "Landing Party Festival" - featuring live musical performances, family entertainment, historical and cultural displays highlighting the legacies of Jamestown and the growth of America -- all free to the public, at a port near you.
Ports of call include Alexandria,Virginia/Washington DC; Baltimore, Maryland; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; New York, New York; Boston, Massachusetts; and Newport, Rhode Island.
Make plans now to visit one of the ports of call or take advantage of this moment in time by visiting Virginia in 2006 and 2007!
