In 1609, another disaster set the final course of this dramatic history, when the Sea Venture, the ship dispatched by London investors to rescue the starving settlers at Jamestown, collided with a ferocious hurricane and was shipwrecked off the coast of Bermuda. This riveting historical narrative describes how the 150 castaways were seduced by the islands unexpected pleasures for almost a year and were later riven by mutinies when ordered to continue on to Virginia. Ultimately they built boats with their own hands and arrived safely in Jamestown to face the daunting task of rebuilding Americas first permanent colony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Holt Paperbacks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45256046608437,"sku":"ByrdShop_0805090258","price":35.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780805090253_9b54444d-d49b-410d-97e1-d3af0a5c8117.jpg?v=1779936511","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-shipwreck-that-saved-jamestown-the-sea-venture-castaways-and-the-fate-of-america-9780805090253","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
