There is also Popham Colony which was in Maine. They were 1607 just like Jamestown but only lasted a year. They have two very cool firsts -- one, the first English ship (built in America)was built here in 1608 (called, what else...The Virginia) and two, the John Hunt Map. The only know surviving map this early of an English colony. It has been helpful as they do their archaeological digs. The great folks of Maine are building a replica of The Virginia as we speak.
