May 1607 CE
The English colonists re-board their three ships—Susan Constant, the Godspeed, and the Discovery—and proceed into the Chesapeake Bay, landing again at what is now called Old Point Comfort in the City of Hampton.
In the following days, the ships venture inland upstream along the James River seeking a suitable location for their settlement as defined in their orders.
The James River and the initial settlement they seek to establish, Jamestown (originally called "James His Towne") are named in honor of King James I.
