	Jamestown and Newport Rhode Island - RI Visitor Information
		Jamestown's character is defined by links - to its past and to other places through ferries, bridges and lighthouses.
		The Jamestown and Newport Ferry, (401) 423-9900, departs East Ferry for the trip to Newport (Bowen's Wharf and Perrotti Park) every 60 to 90 minutes in the summer between 8:30 am and 8:30 pm; (see schedule) with stops at Rose Island, Fort Adams and Goat Island.
		Jamestown has a unique character resulting from its particular mix of historic buildings, farmland, woodland and coastal features; its pedestrian-friendly and scenic village center; and its miles of rural roads with little traffic, low stone walls and scenic views across farmland and coastal marshes.

	Jamestown, Virginia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jamestown Island) was established in 1607 on the James River in what is currently James City County, Virginia, about 40 miles inland from the Atlantic Ocean and the entrance to the Chesapeake Bay and about 45 miles (70 kilometers) downstream and southeast of Richmond, Virginia.
		The colonists chose Jamestown Island for their settlement largely because the Virginia Company advised them to select a location that could be easily defended from ocean-going navies of the other European states that were also establishing New World colonies and were periodically at war with England, notably the Dutch Republic, France and especially Spain.
		Jamestown Festival Park was established at Jamestown Island in 1957 to mark the 350th anniversary of the founding of the Jamestown Settlement.

	Jamestown Ferry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jamestown Ferry (also known as the Jamestown-Scotland Ferry) is an automobile ferry on the James River in Virginia, connecting Jamestown in James City County with Scotland Wharf in Surry County.

		Tourists heading for Virginia's Historic Triangle of colonial attractions (Jamestown, Colonial Williamsburg, and Yorktown) and the Colonial Parkway often approach the area from the south by water with a ride aboard one of the Jamestown Ferries.

		Whatever really happened, a friendly relationship with Smith and the rest of the colony of Jamestown, Virginia was initiated, and Pocahontas would often come to the settlement and play with the children there.
		In 1612, Pocahontas was captured and held hostage by the Jamestown colonists, in the hope that they could ransom her for the release of some of their own people held in captivity by Pocahontas's tribe.
		The Virginia colony's sponsors found it difficult to lure new colonists to Jamestown, and to find investors for such ventures; and so used Pocahontas as a "marketing ploy" to convince people back in Europe that the New World's natives could be "tamed", and the colony made "safe".
