Departure port for pinnace Virginia to Jamestown.
Apparently undaunted, Captain James Davis again sailed for Virginia on the “Virginia” on June 8th 1609 from Falmouth, England, the largest fleet ever sent over to Virginia, full of people and provisions. He, James Davis, was in command of the “Virginia” one of nine vessels of the fleet known as the “Third Supply” which assembled at Falmouth and proceeded to Virginia by way of the Azores. It carried with it the new Charter of the Virginia Company, which had been drafted by Sir Francis Bacon and signed by King James I on May 23, 1609, granting a vast extension of territory and larger powers were given to the Company.
