As I promised, here are more vacation photos. For one of our first days in the Williamsburg/Jamestown area, we took a boat tour on the James River, launching from Fort Pocahontas (more about that place in a coming post) and destined for waters next to the old Jamestown settlement. Below is our worthy vessel, along with our worthy tour guide, who narrated Jamestown history during the cruise and shared his local knowledge of the James River. When we boarded he asked us if we lived in Virginia (I began to say no) and showed us a map of the area indicated in the 1606 Virginia charter, the land between 34o and 45o latitude from coast to coast. According to the map, the charter covered about two-thirds of the modern U.S. including the entire state of Indiana. I admitted to the guide that perhaps I was a Virginian after all. Historically speaking of course.
