Replica of The
Dove - The
Ark and
Dove were English ships that set sail in 1633 to the Virginia Colony, and then up the Potomac River. A permanent settlement in a shared Indian village south of St. Clement's Island was started and named St. Mary's. In 1634, the
Ark sailed back to England leaving the
Dove behind to provide transportation for goods to be traded up and down the Atlantic East coast. The following year the
Dove headed back to England but she never arrived and was presumed lost at sea...
Anchored across the Horseshoe Bend by St Mary's City. A storm is approaching.

| Some comforting words to soothe bouts of seasickness.... |
We saw pods of purpoises on the way to and from St Mary's.
