Answer:

In May 1607, a group of adventurers from England made it to the shores of Virginia. Their voyage, which was paid for by the Virginia Company, was very difficult, and one third of the passengers died.

Answer:

Their journey started off as badly as it ended. The three ships were stranded for weeks off the British coast, and food supplies dwindled. Over the course of the voyage, dozens died. But 104 colonists — many gentlemen of privilege, but also artisans, craftsmen, and laborers — survived to reach the shores of Virginia.May 28, 2014
