5 A vip tour Amy began their tour right away by saying, “In the year 1607, the Powhatan Indians were busy with their daily chores, when they were surprised to see three ships come sailing up the James River! The three ships were named the Susan Constant, the Godspeed, and the Discovery. They had been sent from England by a group called the Virginia Company. “The Virginia Company was a group of men, who had a royal charter from King James I of England.

That more of the STUFF was gone. That they had a LEAD.” “Well, I guess we know what he was talking about, don’t you think?” said Alex. “You mean more skeletons have gone missing?” asked Christina. “Oh, it’s not just skeletal remains that are of priceless value here at Jamestown,” Courtney 38
