THIRD SUPPLY TABLE

[edit]
  • Bermuda

With 500 to 600 persons, a fleet of nine ships set sail in May 1609 led by Thomas Gates and George Somers. The ships were named Sea Venture, Catch, Diamond, Faulcon [sic],[2] Blessinge, Unitie [sic], Lion, Swallow, and Virginia.[3]

In July, a tropical storm struck the flotilla. The Catch vanished with all aboard, and the Sea Venture shipwrecked on Bermuda, inadvertently colonizing the island.[4] The seven remaining ships arrived at Jamestown only to bring diseased and hungry passengers to the stressed colony.[5][6]

Council members in bold.[7][8] Those who died at sea or in Bermuda are indicated with a Latin cross (✝️). Titles and occupations are from era accounts, but use modern British spellings.

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ Dates are in Old Style calendar (the New Year begins on March 25).[1]
  2. ^ It is unclear which ship William Capps arrived on. Capps potentially was marooned on Bermuda with the Sea Venture (most likely) or could have arrived safely to Virginia with Thomas Gates remaining flotilla.[10]
  3. ^ Not to be confused with a Plymouth, Massachusetts, Pilgrim with the same name and same named-wife.
  4. ^ There is conflicting data on whether Jane Pierce (daughter of William and Joan) sailed with her father aboard Sea Venture or her mother on the Blessinge.[19][20] It is also debated if the found remains of a "Jane" are the same girl.[21]
