The Jamestown settlement in the Colony of Virginia was the first permanent English settlement in the Americas.
 William Kelso writes that Jamestown "is where the British Empire began".
 It was established by the Virginia Company of London as "James Fort" on May 4, 1607 (O.S.; May 14, 1607 N.S.), and was considered permanent after brief abandonment in 1610.
 It followed several failed attempts, including the Lost Colony of Roanoke.
 Jamestown served as the capital of the colony of Virginia for 83 years, from 1616 until 1699.
Bartholomew Gosnold (1571 – 22 August 1607) was an English lawyer, explorer, and privateer who was instrumental in founding the Virginia Company of London, and Jamestown in colonial America.
 He led the first recorded European expedition to Cape Cod.
 He is considered by Preservation Virginia (formerly known as the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities) to be the "prime mover of the colonization of Virginia".
Christopher Newport University, or CNU, is a public liberal arts university located in Newport News, Virginia, United States.
 CNU is the youngest comprehensive university in the commonwealth of Virginia.
 The institution is named after Christopher Newport, who was a buccaneer (or privateer) and captain of the "Susan Constant", the largest of three ships which carried settlers for the Virginia Company in 1607, on their way to found Jamestown in the Virginia Colony, which became the first permanent English settlement in North America.
Susan Constant, captained by Christopher Newport, was the largest of three ships of the English Virginia Company (the others being "Discovery" and "Godspeed") on the 1606 - 1607 voyage that resulted in the founding of Jamestown in the new Colony of Virginia.
The Popham Colony—also known as the Sagadahoc Colony—was a short-lived English colonial settlement in North America that was founded in 1607 and located in the present-day town of Phippsburg, Maine, near the mouth of the Kennebec River by the proprietary Virginia Company of Plymouth.
 It was founded a few months after its more successful rival, the colony at Jamestown, which was established on May 4, 1607, by the Virginia Company of London in present-day James City County, Virginia.
John Brereton ("ca."
 1571/1572 – "ca."
 1632) was a gentleman adventurer and chronicler of the 1602 voyage to the New World led by Bartholomew Gosnold.
Matthew Scrivener (1580 – January 7, 1609) was an English colonist in Virginia.
 He served briefly as acting governor of Jamestown, when he was succeeded by Captain John Smith.
 Scrivener drowned with eight other colonists, half of them members of the governing Council, including Bartholomew Gosnold's brother Anthony, while attempting to cross to nearby Hog Island in a storm in 1609.
Godspeed, under Captain Bartholomew Gosnold, was one of the three ships (along with "Susan Constant" and "Discovery") on the 1606-1607 voyage to the New World for the English Virginia Company of London.
 The journey resulted in the founding of Jamestown in the new Colony of Virginia.
Christopher Newport (1561–1617) was an English seaman and privateer.
 He is best known as the captain of the "Susan Constant", the largest of three ships which carried settlers for the Virginia Company in 1607 on the way to found the settlement at Jamestown in the Virginia Colony, which became the first permanent English settlement in North America.
 He was also in overall command of the other two ships on that initial voyage, in order of their size, the "Godspeed" and the "Discovery".
Discovery or Discoverie was a small 20-ton, 38 foot (12 m) long "fly-boat" of the British East India Company, launched before 1602.
 It was one of the three ships (along with "Susan Constant" and "Godspeed") on the 1606-1607 voyage to the New World for the English Virginia Company of London.
 The journey resulted in the founding of Jamestown in the new Colony of Virginia.
