    A thousand thanksgivings I send you, & your colleagues, Mrs Hartley. My Dad had an especially deep attraction & interest in Jamestown Island, and we visited there a good number if times whilst we were growing up, in the 60's & 70's. My sister worked, full-time for JYF for thirty-five years, & still does piece-work from home. She was Executive Board Assistant for her last 15 years, and gave me frequent access to JFP & certain events. Jamestown's true history speaks to my blood & spirit, as my family has been blessed to dwell in Guinea, Gloucester county, since our coming here from the West Country & Wales, in the 1640's. So many families of Virginia & America ought to have a special endearing passion for Jamestown's history, preservation, lessons, and conveyance, in truth & purity, to our posterity, & supporting your labors & passionate toils. GOD bless you. CaptJohnWestSr.

    Thank you all for your dedication to these sites. Without those in the past and your hard work and commitment we’d have lost it all by now! Mary

    It's just unbelievable how much they have found from this tiny colony, and are still finding! The well was like finding a museum of treasure.

    I absolutely love that shade of dark blue that the beads were! The British flag is a nice touch considering! I love this history!

    I love preservation. I’ve watched erosion completely destroy prehistoric sites. It’s sad.

    I love these I've always loved these videos. I have two questions. one has anybody contacted the descendants of either of those artists who picked up things on the beach to find out if they are still with the family? and second have there been any diving expeditions and underwater archeology done along the bank to find stuff that really hasn't been lost to the ocean just is in the ocean?

    I love this whole series. But, why is it notable to the context of the story that many of the 1895 crew were black men?
