In 1496, only four years after Columbus, King Henry VII of England gave John Cabot a patent to discover whatever part of the world which was before this unknown to Christians. Thus started over a century of exploration and settlement attempts which led up to the Popham Colony. This is the story of the explorers and would be settlers. Part 1 covers the early navigators who explored the area.

Dan Wood practiced medicine in Bath for 33 years. Since then he has actively worked with Maine’s First Ship on the construction of Virginia, the repair and upgrade of the Bath Freight Shed, and of Virginia’s dock. For many years he was a member of the MFS board.

Part 2: Later Navigators, 1584-1607 will be presented August 2
