The Four Lives of the GODSPEED
... WHEN Bartholomew Gosnold sailed from London aboard the square-rigger Godspeed in December 1606, he could not have known that this ship, one of three to carry a group of intrepid English settlers to Virginia, would rise from the pages of history to sail again centuries later...

Ship Life
... On December 20, 1606 three English ships, the Susan Constant, the Godspeed and the Discovery, set sail from London with a total of 144 men and boys to establish the settlement in Virginia...

What Happened to the Three Ships
... The first reference to what may be the Discovery of Jamestown fame is dated 1602. At that time, the East India Company sent out two small vessels, the Discovery under Captain George Waymouth and the Godspeed under Captain John Drew. Their orders were to find a northwest passage to China. It was a non-productive trip with Waymouth blaming the failure on a mutiny by the crew in the latter part of July. The ship returned to Dartmouth on August 5, 1602...
