Fire has at least destroyed the Popham Colony's storehouse and its provisions.
Later excavation has hinted that there might have been other fires.
Colonists have divided into two factions, one supporting George Popham and the other Ralegh Gilbert.
George Popham dies on February 5, 1608, possibly the only colonist to die—a contrast to Jamestown, which loses half its population this year.
Ralegh Gilbert on February 5, 1608, at age twenty-five, becomes "colony president".
